Andrew: I respect your belief system but in regards to whether the music is appropriate, it's a moot point as the wedding won't be at a church that prohibits such music. Point of fact, the pastor is a musician who knows that instrumental music can be separated from it's title and help a congregation be closer to God. Also, not a liturgical wedding, per se.
