I don't know how common this one is, but the words and tune spoke to me -- "Yedid Nefesh". Both as an expression of the relationship I yearn for between myself and Hashem, and I"YH the life I'd be starting with my chosson.

I don't remember who composed the particular tune I walked down to, but it was a waltz - "Ye-did, Yedid Nefesh; A-av, Av HaRachaman...". It's a commonly sung Shabbos zemer, but I'd never seen anyone walk down to the chuppah with it.

Other tunes I've seen that I thought were nice were "Bil'vavi Mishkan Evneh", "Ma Ashiv La'Hashem" (from Hallel) and "Lechu Neranena" (tune by Yehuda!, words from kabbalas Shabbos - another waltz).

I'd suggest going through many songs and picking something that means something to the couple.

Abie Rottenberg. I think on his compilation called aish or something like that. What a beautiful song.
