Below are the selections for your wedding ceremony.

Liz on Top of the World with Intro (from Pride & Prejudice)
Bride's Processional: Liz on Top of the World violin theme with rippling introduction. If you choose this version, I suggest you wait to walk down the aisle until the "ripples" end and enter on the main theme. The length of this processional will be adjusted to the length of your walk.
Rondeau from Incidental Music to Abdelazer (Henry Purcell)
Recessional: The Recessional will play in its entirety.
Another Dance (from Pride & Prejudice)
This and the selection that follows would be nice to serve as the Postlude music after the Recessional. This is a preview of Another Dance; actual performance will be longer.
Meryton Townhall (from Pride & Prejudice)
This is just a preview of Meryton Townhall, actual performance will be longer.

Tips for a Smooth, Stately, and Stunning Wedding Processional

Slow is better. Don't hurry down the aisle! Anticipate and enjoy the beautiful walk.
If you reach the altar or arch before the music ends, don't worry! The music may continue a few measures to reach a graceful cadence.
The musician will "go silent" approximately 2 minutes before the processional. If there is an unanticipated delay before the start of ceremony, designate someone to inform the musicians. Be as specific as possible, i.e., "play ten more minutes, " or "play two more songs." This will avoid awkward silences while your guests await your arrival.
If the wedding party is entering from a place that is difficult to spot or completely out of view, you may wish to assign someone to approach the musicians and inform them the ceremony is about to begin. That way, there will be no ambiguity.
If possible, let the musician know what the officiant's last words will be before the recessional begins. Generally, it is the introduction of the bride and groom, but because this is not always the case, it is best to be certain. The musicians may also check with the officiant if the opportunity is available before the ceremony.
