Alternative songs to walk down the aisle to

Hi, i know I wont have anything classical. Favourites at the mo are 'all time love' - will young, 'iris' - googoo dolls 'gravity' - embrace

I too would also be interested in know what are having.

I reeeeally want to walk down the aisle to this (or at least part of it)

Wait for the piano to kick in ?

Very nice! im interested in what people have to say on this cos i need some ideas too.

Actually this is what I really want, OH has said no way (and he's a bigger fan of them than me) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEaLXZ-Go_Q

I've decided on sweet child o mine - but a piano version. I think it was someone on here that mentioned it and i listened on youtube - love it!

Was also thinking bout iris and thinking about gravity for first dance

Ooh love it !! I'm a big GnR fan!!

Im close to SazelBean, but Im having an piano instrumental of the start of November Rain. We had a guy record us a version of him playing it on the piano, It's really lovely x

Eva Cassidy Songbird

Its a tough one Hugo, i took months to decide and ended up going with a version of love song by the cure with inxs never tear us apart for signig resgister.

I love Eva Cassidy. This is beautiful and I like Somewhere over the Rainbow.

I can't be any help i'm afraid, i've got a string quartet booked so i'm having Canon in D!

Yeah, I love her stuff and so does my dad so it's perfect. I like Somewhere over the Rainbow but I always think of it as a sad song but I love the lyrics of Songbird and the tempo / sound etc seems to fit with the mood.

I'm going to walk into 'Can't help falling in love with you' by Elvis - it's partly tribute to my Mum who's a big Elvis fan but she won't be able to be with us on the day unfortunately and partly I love the lyrics too!

ooh, we might be having that for our first dance! I'm likely to have a piano version of a bizarre pop song that sort of got us together - we hate classical so it seems wrong to have classical music!

Hi, Great choices everyone. Hugo, I'm having The Blowers Daughter. It makes me cry everytime I think of it!

ooh are you? Which part are you having as its a long song (I love the last bits where that woman cranks up too!)? Are you having lyrics or just an instrumental version?

Like RAEF we are having Songbird, but by All Angels.

Walking out as Mr and Mrs are causing a few arguements at the moment tho he he

This is what I'm walking down the aisle to, fingers crossed anyway.

We are getting married in a hotel & they said the registrar won't let any music with religious words in be used in a civil ceremony & apparently they are really strict about it & it says Heaven in this song so we have to check it with the registrar when we next see them.

My 2nd choice is Queen - Somebody To Love.

I'm walking in to Stand by Me by Ben E. King and out to All You Need is Love by The Beatles.

Keelz, some registrars are stricter than others so hopefully you'll have one of the more laid back ones!

We're having All i ask of you from Phantom of the opera played by a lady on a harp....cant wait x

Wow that could be something new for the wedding song, alternative rather the traditional love song... well if you would choose an alternative love song that's a great one too. i kind of like the idea to have an alternative song in your wedding day. i have a couple in my mind i hope this might help you. bright eyes - first day of my life, nitin sawhney - breathing light, the cure - love song.

Bijou Wedding Venues

Eva cassidy is always a great choice!

I walked down the aisle to the Muse version of "Feeling Good" and we left the chapel to "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows".

I don't think it's chavy at all to have songs that reflect your personality. We were big on personalising our ceremony.

The goo goo dolls is the one i want too and was worried about the word Heaven - was even thinking about dubbing it out but think that will sound a bit silly. its so confusing because some married friends have said their registra was really stirct and wouldn't allow even one word like that, where as another friends was told Angel by Robbie williams was ok because it wasn't religious per say. might have to check with my particular regitra to se if she'll accept it.

Nothing classical, nothing we've heard other people having. Ours.

I'm sure everyone's seen this - would love to do something like this but OH is too traditional

Ooooo fingers crossed!!

After much begging and hair pulling our registrar has agreed to let us have an instrumental version of Hallelujah (providing we don't name it). Our friends are playing this for my processional on a guitar and electric violin. It sounds great, I'd show it to you, but I can't figure out how to put a WMA on here...
