Wedding Music

*PJ*, 3 April, 2010 at 11:02 Posted on Planning 0 8

Hi all, need your opinions!! We are getting married in family church and since I can remember I have always wanted to walk up the aisle to 'Here comes the bride'

and exit to the wedding march.

Just want some feedback on if people still do this?!! I haven't been to a wedding for years where i have seen this done, but all the weddings have been in hotels/different venues. I really want it!!

Also first dance songs?! Me and h2b are having KCI and jojo - all my life. Its always been our song but just any other ideas?!

Thanks for your help!!

P xx

    I think anything goes these days so long as approved by vicar/registrar!!

    most of my friends who have had traditional church ceremonies have had "here comes the bride" and gone out to the wedding march - they've all got married over the last 5 years or so. im having a civil ceremony so choosing own songs that mean something to us

    Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! And i'm having a civil cermeony ?

    I wouldn't feel like i was getting married if I didn't have them - and like you say, no one has them now so in fact, you're beig a bit different.

    I say do it! ?

    I'm with GB on this one. I dont think I'd feel like it was a proper wedding without here comes the bride!!! I've found a lovely piano version for my civil ceremony Smiley smile

    If you want it, then have it!!! There's nothing wrong in sticking with tradition!!!!

    I say do whatever YOU want and don't worry about what anybody else thinks or says.

    As for your 1st dance song - if that one means a lot to you and your OH then thats what you should have. Its supposed to be special to you two.

    Many people still do it. I played it for a couple just last week. The Wedding March still gives me goosebumps! (shucks)

    Hi,

    I'm in a professional quartet that frequently plays at weddings and although it isn't played that often now we have done it a few times!!

    Hope planning is going smoothly!
