Help! Music for Wedding Ceremony.

So, me and japan are getting married at the end of next month, and the registry office have suggested we provide a CD of music (apparently the ones they have are terrible).
So, there needs to be three sections:
1. Music for when the guests are arriving (~30 minutes)
2. Something for me to walk down the aisle to.
3. Something that plays while we sign the registry book (I'm guessing ~10 minutes).
I am completely stuck. I don't really want the traditional boring classical music (and the interesting stuff probably won't work for the wedding). My father and I have agreed that walking down the aisle to the Imperial March from Star Wars or one of Beethoven's funeral marches is probably a bad idea ('cos we'll piss ourselves laughing).
I quite fancy having some music which is non-traditional, and anything geeky or videogame related will make us giggle a bit (in a good way).
I have a horrific idea of playing those songs which people think are romantic but that are actually creepy during the signing bit (like Police's Every Breath You Take), but, again, I'm not sure if this is really a good idea.
Help me H/A, or it's registry office crap for the wedding.

Alternatively, nab the Halo soundtrack, and use the Title track (I prefer Halo the first's), but that could sound cool, and only people that have played it would get it.
Edit: so it would make sense.
As far as for when the guests are arriving, I don't have any specific suggestions, but I would recommend something unobtrusive. The guests are all going to want to greet each other and talk a little bit, which is hard to do if you're blasting Metallica or something. I think we just picked some classical pieces that we both liked.
As an example - my wedding music was:
Pre-wedding - mix of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and other 60's-70's lovey songs
Bride's Entrance - Ice Cream by Sarah McLaughlin
Paperwork - Friend sang Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding
Exit - Dear Prudence by the Beatles
Dinner entry - Imperial March from Star Wars
First Dance - Strange Currencies by REM (yay horribly depressing first dance songs!)
Second Dance w/ Parents - In My Life by the Beatles
Third Dance when everyone joins in - Killing in the Name of by Rage Against the Machine
Yeah, people didn't expect that third song.
Have some fun! It's your day... everyone else can suck lemons if they don't like it.

It's cute, and not many people would recognize it.

But remember that it doesn't matter how dorky it is, it's your wedding, not the guest's.
Anyways... does your wedding have a theme song? Just went to one and the couple used "Love Story" by Taylor Swift as their theme song and they played it on their enterance and also their first dance.
Another friend of mine used the Star Trek Generations Theme music at the ceremony when they spoke their vows.
Still another family friend stick to the classics... "Canon in D major" at their enterance... and Wagner's "Here Comes the Bride" after the vow.

Because it was the first song we ever danced to together and when we first got together I was planning on going to University to teach music. It was just "Our Song" in the old way.
My cousin used this as her Wedding March

Mostly cause she was a huge ER nerd and it introduced her to this song and man Iz had an awesome voice!
My best suggestion is to choose something you love even if he seems indifferent. Brian also didn't care but I know he was happy that I was happy ('cause he told me so) So scour you brain for whatever you like.
I had to put together a disk of music for my mothers memorial and one of the selections was Mull of Kintyre by Paul McCartney as well as Beth from Kiss! so you can really mix genres cause anythign goes its your damn day!
Gonna be at my wedding
