Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy
Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Guide me O thou great redeemer
Praise to the Lord, the almighty the King of creation
They're my favourites for weddings. Mostof the ones that are specifically about marriage are a bit sappy and rubbish, but the first two are reflective and very beautiful and teh second two are rousing, feel-good hymns. They're all relatively well known.

On the classical side, there's Mendelssohn's Wedding March from the opera A Midsummer Night's Dream, Wagner's 'Here Comes the Bride' from the opera Lohengrin, and Edvard Grieg's popular short piece 'Wedding Day at Troldhaugen'.

If you really mean hymns, for a church wedding:
Ye Holy Angels bright - this has a fantastic descant for the choir to sing
Immortal, invisible God only wise
Jerusalem
Guide me o thou great Redeemer
May the grace of Christ our Saviour
Praise my soul the King of Heaven
Praise to the holiest in the height

Hymns should be your preferences. DO you like "Beautiful Savior" then use it.
The classic Paul Stukie song "The Wedding Song" is always nice. Not terribly religious, but appropriate.
Ave Maria is always nice.
"Trumpet Voluntary", music used by Princess Diana's wedding is a great processional
Try this for comtempory music...

Bind Us Together is a very appropriate hymn
And then the last hymn could be Give Me Joy In My Heart which is very uplifting but use it after all the serious bits are over.

Give Me Joy in My Heart
Lord of the Dance
If you want your guests to join in I would choose some of the more well known ones.
