Church appropriate music??

We are getting married in St Patricks Cathedral, Melbourne.
We have been advised that we can only use 'religious' music. I love Pachabel, Canon and am 99% sure we will be using this for the first, walk down the aisle song, but with the other stages of the ceremony in which we have music, I have no idea what else to consider!! Does anyone know of any church appropriate music we could include in our ceremony?? Thanks!!

Lily answer:
We're getting married in a catholic church and we were the same - we have to have catholic or churchy music. But our wedding singer was fantastic, she knows our priest and what he will and won't let thru, and she had hundreds of songs to chose from! So I suggest speaking to your singer/piano player/music person - you'll be suprised.

Technically speaking - it has to be classical music (not piano) just the old english tradition classical music. you'll have no problem with pachabel and canon in d!

Also sneaky hint - when signing the register - it's actually a government legal document not church related - so you can pretty much have whatever songs you want - within reason.

All up we got away with
Walking in: Heaven - Bryan Adams
Signing the register: Can't helping falling in love with you - Elvis, and Everything I do, I do it for you- Bryan Adams
Walking out: A whole new world - Aladdin theme song.

Plus all the normal psalms etc.

Good luck!
