done to death.. but Entrance music

I walked down the aisle to Songbird by Eva Cassidy so probablu biased but I love it! I reached H at the line "I love you, like never before" which is so ? but just fitted perfectly. Couldn't have planned it better!

I am walking in to Canon in D by Pachelbel, very original but I think it is beautiful. I'm really struggling to think of something fitting for the signing of the register. I'm still undecided about what to walk out to - I considered Beautiful Day by U2 but I dont know if its a bit much.

Songbird is so beautiful but will it make you cry more?! I would be a blubbering snotty mess if I walked down to that!

I am walking down to Foo Fighters, Everlong. It was what our son was born to and I absolutely love it. Acoustic version, obviously!

I'm walking down to this:

I think this would be a good one to walk out to aswell as its up beat

How long does the entrance music have to be? Obviously it will depend on each individual venue but I was wondering if anyone had a rough guide. I have something in mind but it's only 1min 32sec and I have to get down a staircase and then down an aisle so I don't know if that might be cutting it a bit fine!

We had Elbow one day like this the instramental version for my entrance. Its very long 6 min so OH edited it to an appropriate length.

Yup so far i'm drawing blanks on this for my wedding. H2B is punk, and i'm metal/goth/rock....so it's hard to choose anything that wont be 'offensive' to the ears of our guests lol

H2B said he wanted Die my Bride by Murderdolls..... but i'm not convinced lol xx

Although i do like this....perhaps for entrance, not everyones cup of tea, but i think it's pretty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFK4HD7KAjk

currently looking for a pretty instrumental version of this x

or this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKGpZuadMsA

Do you both like GN'R Miss_Understood?

I'm avoiding G'n'R at all costs... been married before, had Sweet Child of Mine played at that wedding, now i hate everything about the song. Stupid ex husband!

I've found a lovely accoustic version of Think About You that we're having played when we sign the register, I was wondering if you would have wanted to have listened to it. Damn ex husband!

Interesting, we have a piece of music we like but it's 6 minutes long and too long for an entrance music so we had thought about using it for singing the register. Do you think we need something extra "just in case"?

Actually i had totally forgotten this song.... and i really like it (this song helped me in a sense let go of my dad)....i might use this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBTXNPZPfbE

How about Roberta Flack.... The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

It's a beautiful song!!

I walked into Richard Marx Right Here Waiting for You. Very random 80s song but it was the music I loved so we had the instrumental. H started blubbing as soon as the music started!!

We're looking at having Sharp Dressed Man by ZZTop for our entrance, and Sylvia by Focus for our exit, but we're trying to find more insrumentals for the signing. Still to be decided though.

But the entrance is so short in terms of space I don't think we'll get past the intro on any song we choose!

I'm walking in to the instrumental version of Des'ree Kissing You from Romeo and Juliet. My OH cries every time he listens to it so gawd knows what it'll do on the day!!

My traditional choices were actually unsual as not many people have them anymore!

Entrance - Bridal Chorus
Register - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Variation 18
Exit - Wedding March

We have a string quartet playing Elbow, One Day Like This

I like Chasing Cars...

Geordiebarbie, i'd forgotten what great taste you had in music ?

i walked into rhapsody on a theme of paganini, beautiful piece of music that i've loved for years.

we had adele - make you feel my love for the register signing (am soooo angry x factor has made it popular again! i wanted it to be mine, all mine!!! <stamps foot> ?), plus rolling stones - sweethearts together, and stevie wonder - signed sealed delivered ?

I absoltely love Adele but this section of the song for me just doesn't fit in with the wedding as I would like to think that I have made my mind up!! ?

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But i would never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment that we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong

My music is a little bizarre but fun -

Walking down the aisle - Here come the girls (Boots advert)

Signing register - Oops I did it again (this is our 2nd time)

Walking back down aisle - Forever Autumn (Justin Hayward) - H2B's mum fave song...

Wow - post and then come back sometime later to loads of responses.

thanks all - there is certainly some eclectic mixes here..!

i'm along the right lines and have some new ones to look at too. Will have to look at the youtube ones later - can't at work

I'm walking down the aisle to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere over the rainbow

And we are signing the register to Eva Cassidy - Songbird

We haven't quite decided on the exit song just yet, I REAAAAALLY wanted to incorporate Etta James - At Last somewhere as I love the song!

Another one I looooove is:

Ben E King - Stand by me

i don't think anyone noticed at our wedding... at least i hope they didn't... ?

I think I'm having Elbow one day like this too as it's my favourite song. We both like chasing cars though so it may feature at some point too.

I sooooo want this when we're signing, ha ha.

Cheesy but fun.

Oooh love your choices...

I am looking at Jonthan Cain's Bridal March https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIyXWm_cw2E

With Yiruma's River Flows in You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOqUFqF_ZwM

They make me go all goosepimply!

I absoloutley love this, i'm going to show OH when he gets in from work and hope he likes it as much as i do.

Our ceremony is in a C of E church....just wondered whether it's usual to have CD music playing or whether everything gets played on the organ.....i'm a bit clueless about weddings really ?
