processionals - Royal bridal
On YouTube you can watch bridal processionals from recent decades. It's interesting to note the variety in the processional music.
1999 - Edward and Sophie - Herbert Brewer's "March Heroique"
1986 - Andrew and Sarah - Elgar's "Imperial March"
1981 - Charles and Diana - Clarke's "Trumpet Voluntary"
So why, then, do modern, non-Royal American brides feel that they have but only one option? (At least in my experience. I have never been asked to play anything other than the Clarke.)
Among their myriad tasks, organists unwittingly carry on Diana's memory everytime a Jane Schmoe walks down the aisle in a white dress.
