I sent an email to my husband. He occasionally plays trumpet accompaniment during weddings. He suggested Edvard Grieg's I love you He may be able to get other suggestions from some of his musician friends. He sent a few email out, so we'll see.

I was married in an Episcopal service and Ave Maria was sung. Obviously our minister didn't care. He was a bit of a drunk though:D The Grieg piece was sung at our wedding as well.

argh. alas. it looks like i've been strong-armed into singing "The Call" by Ralph Vaughan Williams. that's what the Rector and Organist really want(s) me to do. luckily, the words are lovely. i did look at the Grieg piece, too, and it also sounds wonderful. but the accompanist already has the music for "The Call," so i agreed to do that. *sigh*
