We've listened to hundreds of versions of songs commonly used in wedding ceremonies and chosen the ones that, in our opinion, are some of the best.
Below we provide several samples of Sunrise, Sunset - a song from the musical "Fiddler On The Roof" that's sometimes used for the Bride's Processional. Since the song refers to both the Bride and Groom (scroll down to see the lyrics), it is especially appropriate for a wedding where both the Bride and Groom process up the aisle at the start of the ceremony. First (1), we provide a complete version of the song so you can hear it from the beginning - just click the title of the song. Then (2) we provide a compilation of some of the best samples we could find.
(1) To start, let's hear a complete version of the song here: Sunrise, Sunset.
(2) And now here are some of the best samples for your ceremony broken down into specific musical categories...

Sunrise, Sunset Lyrics
(Tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
(Golde)
I don't remember growing older
When did they?
(Tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
(Golde)
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?
(Men)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
(Women)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
(Tevye)
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
(Golde)
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day
(Perchik)
They look so natural together
(Hodel)
Just like two newlyweds should be
(Perchik & Hodel)
Is there a canopy in store for me?
(All)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
