I need help again...

Right now I am trying to write bits and pieces of Ron and Hermione's 
wedding as a flashback.  I'm unsure of two things:

MUSIC.  *What* does wizarding music sound like?  I've noticed that 
95% of the songs tossed about here and on the PoU list I have never 
heard of before in my life.  I have the sneaking suspicion that 
wizards in this particular milieu don't listen to hip-hop and R&B, 
the music forms to which I'm addicted.  As for British "Muggle" 
music, I'm ashamed to say that I know little about it--the only two 
groups I'm familiar with from across the pond are the Beatles and 
Heatwave, neither of which are very contemporary.  Anyone know what 
JKR listens to?  HELP!

WEDDING TRADITIONS.  I have the magical wedding traditions down all 
right (and they were lots of fun to invent/write), but I'm unsure if 
I'm missing something that's particularly British.  I'm addicted to 
TLC's "A Wedding Story", and have seen all kinds of weddings... most 
of the Western ones were fairly the same.  Am I correct in assuming 
this?

Thanks for any help you can provide.  As always, credit will be given 
to whom credit is due.
