What to walk into... (music question)

waddle_thepenguin, 7 April, 2010 at 11:58 Posted on Planning 0 23

I'm having a bit of a dilemma when it comes to music for the ceremony.

We've already decided on the music to have playing when we're signing the register: "It Must Be Love" by Madness, and "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees.

And we're sorted on the recessional: "And Then I Kissed Her" by the Beach Boys.

But I can't for the life of me decide what I want to walk into, and I don't really want it to be Here Comes The Bride, and I'm also not sure I want it to be a classical piece seeing as the rest of the music isn't.

I know I won't get to hear much of whaetever I pick, but I'm still stumped.

What are you lovely people having?

- Helen

    Hi,

    We are having quite upbeat music for signing the register but I wanted something that was romantic and soft for walking down the aisle.

    I love classical piano music so I have chosen this.......

    Shoe - snap! I'm walking in to Kissing You by Des'ree too. Great minds!

    I remember watching Romeo & Juliet when I was about 13 or something and thinking that was the song I'd like to have at my wedding, and I still want it all these years later! (apols for fluff)

    I love kissing you from romeo and Juliet beautiful!

    I'm not too sure either with the whole walking in I don't want "here comes the bride" I am in between Iris and Chasing cars but classical. Then for signing the register were having signed sealed delivered by Stevie Wonder and will need another but not sure yet and walking out I think Greatest day by Take That but that could change as I'm not too sure!

    I like your choices too waddle first time I have seen those songs picked on here!

    Thanks. Smiley smile

    We only decided on the Beach Boys for the way out last night, the signing ones we'd had sorted for ages.

    I think I'll investigate an instrumental of Iris as I do love that song. Also maybe "When You Wish Upon A Star" - the Disney song. I had briefly considered A Whole New World from Aladdin, but then rememebered that Jordan and Peter Adre butchered it not so long ago, so will now give it a miss!

    The guys having Iris by the goo goo dolls - are you having a civil ceremony, and if so has it been approved by the registrar?

    i also love this song but thought it wouldn't be allowed because of the lyric in the first verse:

    'your the closest to heaven'

    I'm also undecided as to what to walk down the aisle to.

    KJ - the rose will be lovely - love that song!

    Right - am all sorted.

    Thanks ever so much for all of your suggestions, I did very nearly go with an instrumental of Iris - but in the end I've gone with a piece of music by Boccerini, back to the classical music idea. Smiley laugh

    Feels good though to have put it all down on paper and posted it off - one less thing to worry about!

    Good luck to all those still having to choose!

    Not fully decided as yet, but I'd really like a couple of bars of "Trouble" by Ray Lamontagne! then switching to "Time of your Life" by Green Day.
