What is your exit song?

OH and I are walking out to Send me on my way by Rusted Roots. Hoping to have a beautiful acoustic guitar version of it played by OH's uncle!

We had the strings play One Day Like This whilst we signed the register, we kept the exit music quite traditional and the organist played Widor Toccata's 5th Symphony

All you need is love by the beatles, but on the strings. x

Mine was this;

I danced down the aisle as well.?

We had Jason Mraz Im Yours

Absolutely DD! It sounds amazing on the strings too.

We're having New Found Glory's version of Glory of Love

Cant get on youtbue at work but will look later x

For some reason, and i still dont know to this day why, my little Brother and SIL had 'Im too Sexy' by Right Said Fred....i am assuming HIS choice and noe HERS!

I've been thinking of different ideas - currently one of my fave ideas is Walking on Sunshine Katrina and the Waves but it has no personal significance to us so I'm still thinking....

I don't think One Day Like This is at all dreary, it think it's really uplifting!

We had ELO's Mr Blue Sky (it was the only football related thing I allowed) played by the string quartet.

Ha ha we're having Mike Oldfield's "Portsmouth" followed by ELO's "Mr Blue Sky"!

We are having Natalie Cole, This will be an everlasting love, very up beat and the words are perfect!

Sylvia by Focus.

Thanks everyone, lots of ideas here. I am youtubing like crazy now. I am fancying a bit of beatles but OH (weirdly) not too keen (don't even get me started !!!)

Oh poop id not even thought of this! spent so much time fretting about the 1st dance song! loving the idea of higher & higher though, quality song!

We're hoping to have Bring Me Sunshine

10 days and still haven't decided on this! OH was grumbling last night that I was taking too long choosing it so delegated it to him. 15mins later I asked how he was getting on - he'd got bored and gone onto fb instead! Very hard to find something upbeat that's suitable for a church wedding.

Loving some of these choices though ?

Sounds like my OH - he is totally ADHD with any wedding or non-wedding jobs I give him and after about 5 mins wanders off onto fb or sky sports results or something

I keep going back to listen to the Elbow song and still absolutely love it. I might just ignore my mum, though I know she means well in giving me her honest opinion, I don't think it sounds dreary now I hear it again!

I am adding some of these songs from everyone here to our 'guest gathering' section of the music list and also thinking some of these could even work for signing the register... I want really upbeat songs and not any that are too serious as ours is a civil ceremony and we want to avoid the sort of classical church type music.

We had bruno mars 'marry you' everbody loved it x

I think the words to One Day Like This are lovely. I found the lyrics on google:

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off the heavy one
Heavy like a loaded gun

What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say
I can only think it must be love
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

Someone tell me how I feel
It's silly wrong but vivid right
Oh, kiss me like the final meal
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see the light
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

When my face is chamois-creased
If you think I'll wink, I did
Laugh politely at repeats
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin

Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see you like
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
Stumbling over what to say
Well, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

So throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right!

We had We Go Together from Grease.

We're having Starship - Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now

we love it, for all the wrong reasons but its got a significance for us

PB- weve gone for New Found Glory "Kiss Me"- like the dawsons creek one but pop-punk ?

We want something upbeat and that will crack smiles and hopefully laughs on the day and some dancing back up the aisle, so we are going for The Cantina Band by John Williams.

We sure are gonna do the jazz hands and with OH wearing his black and white spats, we should hopefully capture some funky shots for our album and to have a laugh back on in the years to come

We're haivng the same as our entrance which is Canon but we're having the classical version for our entrance and an electric guitar version for our exit.

Some more reasons to conduct a YouTube search https://www.celebratewithmusic.co.uk/recommendations.html - a long list of music to choose from!

We're going for Fairground attraction's 'Perfect'. It was going going to be Madness 'It must be love' but Perfect is more upbeat.

I convinced OH not to have 'Signed sealed delivered' after I looked at the lyrics.

I want 'Grow old with you' the song from The Wedding Singer. x

I think we will have Florence And The Machine - You've Got The Love

It's good to see another NFG fan on here. I'm seeing them at Leeds fest on Friday for (I think) the 15th time ?

We're having Candi Staton You Got the Love played on strings
