    Old is not the point as long as it's good.. Kelly Clarkson not for 20+ ages? lol.
    Glen Fredly's song is new...
    Hmm like i said it's better if you search on the Internet for some titles of YOUR favourite; coz other people's might not be ur fav. and it's ur wedding. So who cares about other people..lol

    A wedding has different stages, each stage should have appropriate music.
    This applies for the wedding day and the wedding video.
    Here are the stages of a wedding aka anatomy of a wedding:
    The Ceremony
    Prelude/Seating
    Processional
    Bridal Entrance
    Interlude
    Recessional
    The music for these stages depends on your own liking, but here are some suggestion for a tradional one:


    The Ceremony Prelude/Seating
    The prelude is when guests are arriving and ushered to their seats. The musical choices can be
    cheerful or solemn, depending on the mood you want to create. Below are some popular classical
    choices:
    Air on a G String – Bach
    Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring – Bach
    Piano Concerto #21 – Mozart

    The Ceremony Processional
    This musical selection is played as the wedding party starts down the aisle. A traditional march
    keeps the couples well-paced as they proceed down the aisle. Again, cheerful or stately, the
    mood will be established by the choice. Some good examples are listed below:
    Canon in D – Pachelbel
    Pavane – Faure
    Gymnopedie – Satie
    18th Variation – Rachmaninoff

    The Ceremony Bridal Entrance
    A bride can use the same music as the wedding party processional or may choose to have a
    different piece. The mood desired and the bride’s personality help in this selection. Several
    examples follow:
    Bridal Chorus (Here Comes the Bride) – Wagner
    Etude in E Maj – Chopin
    Trumpet Voluntary – Clarke
    Piano Trio; Second Movement – Mendelssohn

    The Ceremony Interlude
    The number and type of Interlude selections depends greatly on what type of service you are
    having and how traditional you want it. For instance, in a Catholic Mass there are obvious
    events like Holy Communion that are usually accompanied by music. The lighting of a Unity
    candle has become a popular wedding ceremony event and can be accompanied by a musical
    selection. Consult your officiant and your orchestra leader for suggestions. Some popular
    selections are listed below:
    Wind Beneath My Wings – Henley/Silbar
    All I Ask of You – Andrew Lloyd Weber
    Ave Maria – Shubert
    Because You Loved Me

    The Ceremony Recessional
    The last step of the wedding ceremony. The bride and groom, now man and wife, followed by
    their attendants, proceed down the aisle. Joyous, uplifting, even bouncy, music, are favorites to
    close the ceremony. There are many popular choices, some are listed below:
    Ode to Joy – Beethoven
    Spring, The Four Seasons – Vivaldi
    Hornpipe, Water Music Suite – Handel
    Wedding March, A Midsummer Night's Dream – Mendelssohn
    Siman Tov, Mazel Tov – traditional

    Nice one Mar. It's always nice and classy to play classicals on weddings :)

    And Air on G strings is like... heavenly :p Though I probably use some of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book 2 interpreted by Gould... just because it's loud and harsh and weird :p

    Yeah, not really into the flowy melodious tracks =_=b

    Eww. the new songs are called NEW (and not CLASSIC) for a reason.

    I'd take a classic love song instead of a recent one just for its NEW value =_=b
