Hi there. There are loads of hymns to choose from, but some are more suitable than others when it comes to Weddings.
I guess overall it depends what type of atmosphere you want. Hymns such as Lord of the Dance will provoke a more lively atmosphere whilst ones such as Morning Has Broken will give out more of a calm feel to the proceedings.
Either way, your vicar will be more than happy to come up with suggestions. However, if you feel a little uncomfortable asking him/her, you may want to check out somewhere on the net. I have attached a link to Weddingsday.co.uk - the article that it links to has a useful intro to hymns at Weddings as well as a list of the most popular ones. On the site you will also find links to musical versions of each hymn so you will be able to hear what they sound like. It also has tons of pages on the site talking about other aspects of a Church Service as well as other things on honeymoons, transport etc. in case you still need to get things sorted on that front.
Anyway, I hope this proves of use and best of luck for the big day in 5 weeks!

OK, the first thing is, it's heartening to hear you still have the husband. That's what the wedding is all about, after all, right? Second - no one's wedding *ever* comes out the way they dream - no matter what they say. SOmething always happens, because it depends upon an army of people you are hiring for the first time in your life, to do all sorts of critical jobs, and more often than not at least one of them messes up or misunderstands what you thought you wanted. Getting from in your daydreams to the ground is a very very long trip. First - talk to your husband about the way you are feeling. Make sure he understands you don't regret marrying him - just that you are feeling down after the buildup of a dream wedding. Keep in mind, this is *normal* - even if things turned out largely as you planned. The time after the wedding is, well, a lot of work that most people forget. There's no after-celebration, you're just married...and life goes on. Normal, and nothing wrong with that, but can psychologically be a letdown because you're tired and everything is new. It's incredibly important that you talk to your husband - not Yahoo!Answers - and share your feelings. If you are feeling socially left out, perhaps start to invite a few people over for dinner every week. It's time for you to establish your social patterns, and this is a good way to get back into that, and also be able to decorate the table, arrange a menu - things you can now control that didn't turn out as you wished at your wedding. If you make sure to use all the stuff you got for your wedding, and make the table beautiful with fresh flowers, take LOTS of pictures, you will get through this. And someday, you will be able to look back and laugh at the horrible photographer, caterer, and security guys, and realize you got the best of all out of the day, and he's right there in front of you. You're not wrong to be disappointed, but don't let it rule your life, and be careful of depression. Tell your husband, and your doctor, before it really takes hold, and you'll get through it together.

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 the second two are rousing, feel-good hymns. They're all relatively well known.

Hope the above link helps. Also choose your favourites or something cheery and not associated with funerals! All things bright and beautiful?
