My marriage from almost 15 years ago was a mistake from the start. But curious to know of any musical selections you and/or your spouse-to-be personally chose to accompany your ceremony (besides the ubiquitous march by Mendelssohn)?
We got married at a very unusual place (a private castle by the sea) with only my family attending, so it was a very small-scale affair. As such, no DJ or live musicians were hired. My spouse-to-be left any musical accompaniment completely to me, so I selected recordings of some of my favorite baroque instrumental pieces.
Hardly the most original choice, but Pachelbel's Canon in D Major played perhaps the most prominent role:

(Just as a bit of odd trivia: my last ex absolutely hated Canon in D Major, like with a passion. Of course, he was a composer himself, so I imagine he had his artistic biases, lol.)
