Is there a specific liturgy for a Corpus Christi procession?
I'm helping to plan a Corpus Christi procession in a few weeks, just wondering if there is an official way of doing it - or even a traditional way of doing it that corresponds to our community's fairly diverse make up, we are Parthians and Medes....

I'm helping to plan a Corpus Christi procession in a few weeks, just wondering if there is an official way of doing it - or even a traditional way of doing it that corresponds to our community's fairly diverse make up, we are Parthians and Medes.... Just Kidding, our parish is we're half German, half Irish and half Mexican. Half of us don't sing and half of us don't sing in the same language. So sound liturgical advice, as well tradition would be appreciated.

Is it OK to pray any five decades of the Rosary or do they have to be in the specific set of mysteries?

I'm working on setting up a guide book for a Eucharistic procession for Corpus Christi and I was told that it's not exactly traditional to pray the Rosary during one of these processions, but we orphaned traditionless Wisconsinite Catholics don't have a ton of songs memorized and nobody knows the traditional hymns by heart. We do, however, know how to Pray the Rosary and that's what we've been doing for the last couple of years.
I was thinking though, this year, instead of Praying the Glorious Mysteries (because we're doing the procession on Sunday, not Thursday) that we'd announce these mysteries (two Joyful and three Luminous)
1. Annunciation
2. Nativity
3. Wedding at Cana
4. Transfiguration
5. Institution of the Eucharist
Because they, in my opinion, are the "most Eucharistic" of the 20 mysteries.
Now, since I am just a layman whose only credentials is a Gold Catholicism badge on Stackexchange, my wife says I shouldn't just go an make this kind of stuff up. We've reached out to other people in the group for planning it, but nobody seems to want to give a critique of the idea and our priests are seemingly too busy with their transitions to new assignments to worry about this.
So, what I want to know is:
Is it OK to mix and match mysteries of the Rosary and if so, is it OK to call it a "Eucharistic Rosary"?
