* Instead of playing Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" ("Here Comes the Bride") as a processional, it is more appropriate
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.
