_____________________

* Instead of playing Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" ("Here Comes the Bride") as a processional, it is more appro-priate at an Orthodox wedding to chant an Orthodox hymn. According to some local traditions "It is truly right" is chanted in second mode (see page 5) as a processional. Another troparion that is chanted in some places as a processional is "Awed by the beauty." On this page is the heirmological (brief) version, and on page 3 is the sticheraric (long) version.
