In 1991 David Bowie married Iman Abdulmajid. No doubt your ceremony will be of equal class.
Because Bowie is a spirtualist Christian from a part Jewish family and his then wife to be a Sunni Muslim, he opted that he wanted his music "non-religious, but with a hint of mysticism"
He decided to write his own score, some 4 hours of music. Only two pieces have been made commercially available and can be found on the cheap CD's "Black Tie White Noise" and a comilation of ALL his instrumentals called "All Saints".
The titles of the available pieces are appropriately called "The Wedding" and "The Wedding Song".
Beautiful pieces of music for a beautiful wedding.

Ok, Lets go completely New Age here.
If you Can Get hold of it buy an album by Adiemus called Songs Of Sanctuary. You may know their most famous song which is also called "Adiemus" from the Delta Airlines tv campaign from quite a few years back, but although that is a fantastic song, you don't exactly want everyone playing guess the commercial on your wedding day. I suggest the last song on this album called "Hymn". Now don't be fooled this is by no means religious regardless of the title. The blurb inside the cd cover states "The songs were influenced in the main by classical form. the text was written phonetically with the words viewed as instrumental sound. The sound is universal as is the language of music" Phew! Well sorry to go on so much and have a fantastic day when it arrives.
