The great jazz coronet player and performer, Louis Armstrong! We love him! If you are hoping to find some processional or recessional alternatives, some jazz wedding music, for example, then how about Louis Armstrong's Jazz Wedding March from the film High Society?

The traditional wedding march processional is "Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin" (Richard Wagner) (also known as "Here Comes the Bride"). It is played while the bride enters the church and proceeds to walk UP the aisle.
But there are a lot of brides and grooms who are great jazz fans, and you know those jazz lovers -- nothing traditional for them!
See some samples for other great classical music selections -- some of them might be used inside the church or room where the wedding is to be performed while the guests are waiting for the ceremony to begin! Good mood setters.

Breaking Wedding News!  

July 2010 -- Will it last through the summer? -- American pop music star Katy Perry and British comedian Russell Brand became engaged in late 2009, so that is not news. Ms Perry recently explained that she sent Russell Brand telepathic, subliminal messages in order to achieve her engagement to him. The 'California Gurls' singer now tells the world that she constantly communicated to Brand telepathically placing the idea of asking him to ask the marriage question in his mind.

"Every night we looked into each other's eyes and I was thinking, 'Please ask me, please ask me'," she announced. "So all the time we'd been sending each other subliminal messages!," said Perry. Ms Perry also explained a more intimate detail of the formerly elusive Mr Brand: Brand reciprocated to her thoughts with the same intensity. In short, unbeknownst to each other, they were

simultaneously sending the same message. "Then, when we finally talked about the idea of getting married, he admitted he was thinking the same – he'd been trying to tell me that I was the woman he wanted to marry by communicating it with his eyes," Ms Perry reported. Scientific studies to follow in 2011. File: Katy Perry, Russell Brand engaged

Don't forget to entertain your guests while they wait for the wedding ceremony to begin! Your wedding is a 'show' produced by you and it starts the minute the guests step foot into the church, temple or place where the marriage ceremony will take place. Confer with the representatives of the church to find out what musical options are available to you for filling the church with music before the service. Will they let you bring your own music in on an ipod? Can they hire some musicians on your behalf? What type of music do you want your guests to hear. Music while your guests are waiting is a very nice touch that really warms up the room!
