Recently, I was contacted by a woman who wanted me to teach her 3 nieces (ages 12, 12 & 14) to play a processional on handbells for her wedding.  None of the nieces have ever played bells before and do not read music.  The bride had no other attendants.

Additionally, "Here Comes the Bride" will be played on bagpipes immediately after the girls finish their processional.

So, I came up with a simple-to-play and simple-to-teach processional based on "Here Comes the Bride".  Each ringer has only 2 bells to keep it ultra-simple.

It's in E-flat because that's what key the bagpipes are playing it in, but of course it could be transposed to any key to fit whatever instrument(s) play "Here Comes the Bride".
