The first thing that popped into my mind was, although not instrumental, Wedding Song by Loudest Whisper. It is short, sweet, mellow, with some fantastic female vocals. Heck! you could even dance to it.Shocked

Not prog, but Chris Rea's Road to Hell sounds like a good fit.

My wife and I danced to "Let it Grow," so I endorse this choice.
"History of Rock Written by the Losers."

Congrats! 

Karda Estra is an instrumental band with beautiful, mellow music. Try something off of Eve or Constellations, both albums are great :) 



The Enid has some pretty good stuff as well and are worth checking out. 

 



Some Chamber Rock should fit the bill, stay away from the darker stuff (Univers Zero, Present, etc.), some songs by artists like Aranis and PikaPika TeArt should do well. 


Maybe the Japanese post-rock band Mono has something to offer as well? Their music is beautiful.

Greg Lake - Closer To Believing (Lake/Sinfield 1977 from ELP -Works Vol One)
 
I would say this is the most romantic song I've ever heard without it being cheesy or slushy. Just some very beautifull sentiments expressed in a nice old fashioned sort of way.
 
If you want something a little ironic and to raise a smile then Queen's version of the Wedding March from the Flash Gordon soundtrack might be worth thinking about.

Congrats Clap

I'm not really an expert in romantic wedding songs but i think the following are quite pleasant:

Dawn is a feeling - Moody Blues
Nights in White satin - Moody blues
Afraid of sunlight - Marillion
A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

I'm not going to suggest an instrumental. I'm going to go for two yes songs, both of them wonderful love stories:
1. If Only You Knew
2. Turn Of The Century
You'll have her and them weak at the kneesTongue


Sorry, I'm not so sure about Turn of the Century; it's about the death of the lover of a sculptor (though it's a very beautiful song indeed).

It's a song about eternal love, a love that can never die, and, indeed, a love that transcends death. Sounds perfect for a wedding to meTongue

If I'm not wrong it's more about the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, the sculptor who falls in love with his creation.

Interesting topic !
 
"Living in the heart of the beast" is probably my favorite Henry cow's song but it does'nt fit the situation.
 
The voyage (Moody blues) is a great instrumental piece.
Most of camel's "snow goose" is appropriate, especialy "Rheyader".
"The discovery" from Renaissance's "azur d' or" is perfect and exactly what you asked for.
I would also use Albinoni's adajio.
I second Karda estra as a good choice.
'La cathedrael de Strassburg" (Focus) is another excelent track for you.
Fern knight's self titled album is another album you should consider.
 
And most important - keep in mind that what realy matters is not the wedding day but the life you live after it.

How about "Voyage of the Acolyte"?

Any song would fit great, I think.

Except maybe "Ace of Wands" and "A Tower Struck Down".

I wouldn't go with prog. Maybe some modern classical like Arvo Pärt?
