Classical / movie scores

[theboyfold]

Guys and gals

Looking for a little bit of assistance in hunting down some music to be used in the background in the run up to my forthcoming wedding.

We're currently going with music from movies, and the playlist is as follows:
Where Dreams Are Born (A.I.)- John Williams
Cinema Paradiso Love Theme
Theme from Love Story by Andy Williams This is the right version though...
Henry Mancini: 'The Windmills Of Your Mind'
Theme From A Summer Place
WALL•E OST - Define Dancing
Star Wars V - Han Solo & the Princess
Alan Silvestri Forrest Gump Suite

So what do I need from you? Ideally tracks with a similar feel about them, ideally without any lyrics. Fire away!

Some examples from our wedding:

The Bridal Ballad:

Salut d'Amour

Softly Awakes My Heart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9piRiiZ0C4Q&fea...

There were more, but 1. was what mrs k walked down the aisle to, 2. was our first dance at the reception and 3. was incidental music during signing the register (although our was an orchestral version by the Monteverdi Orchestra).

Thanks This one is nice, not to sure about the other 2 as we're trying to stay away from vocal tracks.

Like I said, the Monteverdi Orchestra does a lovely version of Softly Awakes without vox.

Can't find the bugger on the 'tube though.

note to self, read replies fully

I'll have a forage around and see if I can find it

Thanks for the above, both are nice, but both seem to have a slightly dark feel about them, although there is some nice stuff on the rest of the Piano soundtrack

True, but we're avoiding the funk for the time being, funk happens later in the day.

I'm on the hunt for 'nice' background music for the bit before my wedding ceremony.
