*alternative* type music to walk up the aisle

I still love the idea of Moon River....even if it is the Taff!

Moon River - love that song!

I would love either....

Elbow - Newborn, from the album "Asleep in the back"

or..

Sigur Ros - Untitled 3, from the album " () "

Don't mock me or roll your eyes too much but I walked up the aisle to

"Bring Me Sunshine" - as in Morecambe & Wise but sung by Willy Nelson

Held fond memories for my Dad and I (no we didn't do the dance!) from growing up.

Might sound daft but if you look at the words it's really rather nice and broke the tension for all the guests and my H2B!

Am having Sea of Love by Cat Power - don't think it is that 'alternative' but not many people know it

I know how much you love this song...

eta: it starts getting REALLY good around 1 min 15-20! even i'm tempted to have it somewhere now!!!

I think I'll be going down to Dohery and Wolfman - for lovers but this is probably likely to change 10 times over before the wedding

Hi, I'm a bit new here and have a while to wait before my wedding (haven't even been engaged a week yet, and it'll be in July 2011) but I'm considering going down the aisle to this:

It got used as the theme tune to this programme, which was the only way I could find it on youtube, but it's about the right length and is so lovely when it swells. I'm pretty sure not many people will ever have heard it before either, which is a bonus!

Let me know what you think?

Wow, love this! So beautiful.

Ooh la la, I knew there was a good reason I was stalking you. I ❤️ Newborn.

SG45, I suggested Dear Lover to Count Duckula as a first dance the other day. Also loving Starlight.

Have you thought about something by Air or Sigur Ros, pretty alternative but beautiful and emotive stuff. Maybe:

Can't believe I would forget this as a suggestion, but this could also be tear-inducingly sweet - it's 'First Day of My Life' by Bright Eyes:

I think Moon River could be a great choice, but the other two are very different and pretty cool.

If you haven't already, check out this page: Wedding Ceremony Music Suggestions.

Hope that helps

Awesome suggestion with Air BWC.

Starsailor - Love is here

I love New Born! Hadnt though of Wolfman and Docherty but think that would be an inspired choice!

Moon River is very popular - I've played it three times this month! A few of the most recent requests are at https://www.celebratewithmusic.co.uk/repertoire.html.

Einaudi's music is very popular too.

Er, where have you been all my life?! That reads like one of my ipod playlists!

I seriously love Zero7. Have you heard Sophie Barker's Lullaby album? *sigh*

I used a piano version of moon river recently.........awesome!

We are having a New York Themed wedding so all our music is Sinatra.

Im walking in to The way you looked tonight and were walking out to either New York New York or Fly me to the moon

Tracey

No I haven't. Did you buy it for Wee Braw ?

I walked down the aisle to Sweet Child of Mine but it was the piano instrumental by Scott D Davis xxxx

I did but I listen to it all the time without him! I particularly love it when I'm feeling poorly, very soothing.

x

Ahh, I'll have to get a copy then.

BTW - I don't want to crash SG's thread too much, but what sort of music do you play when you DJ?

Thanks for all your lovely replies - it has been nice to llisten to them all. My favourite odd one - that no one has suggested is All is full of Love - bjork but SB also vetoed this so....

Am either having string quarter tribute's version of Chasing Cars (although am loving Come as you are by them too!)

or f*ck it, will bloody have the real version of Sweet Child of Mine and sod everyone else.
