Best Answer

A wedding recessional has nothing to do with the economic crisis that occurs at the wedding. (Although, the crisis usually occurs straight AFTER the wedding.)

A Wedding Recessional is the music that accompanies both bride and groom as they exit (almost always QUICKLY) the church/chapel/wedding hall. The Recessional is usually upbeat in tempo (pace) and is certainly in a happier mood.

Popular Wedding Recessionals include:

  • Mendelssohn's Bridal March from Midsummer Night's Dream
  • Henry Purcell's Trumpet Tune
  • Beethoven's Ode to Joy from his Ninth Symphony

YouTube is a great place to get sample audio clips of these Wedding Recessionals.
