Wedding Music - Recommendations for Program


Hi,
I'm helping to plan the music for a relative's upcoming wedding and was wondering if you could provide me with ideas on music for the ceremony that are not so cliche. The music will be provided by a string quartet. I need help, esp. for the processional and want to avoid: Bach Joy of Man's Desiring, Wagner Lohengrin, Pachelbel Canon in D. Any ideas? My brain is fading, Mendelssohn? Brahms? Schubert? Offenbach?

We did not have music @ the ceremony (judge's chambers), but did play music by Vince Guraldi (Peanuts:-) @ the reception. This was our first choice. Don't know how this would translate to a string quartet, but it might be interesting/memorable (it certainly was @ ours and the guests loved it). We work hard to be stuffy (in my family), but we just can't do it right. LOL.
OK: Here's another one. I just asked my wife what we would have chosen if we would have had a string quartet in the judge's chambers. Together we decided that it would have been a medly of "The Hustle" and "The Love Boat" theme (should be easy to do with strings).
