Please help! songs to walk down the isle (civil ceremony)

Cannon D is a nice one I personally am thinking of having Kissing you from romeo and juliet have no idea for signing and leaving never actually thought about them !!

I had Glasgow Love Theme (from Love Actually). The first half of it. Almost had me in tears on the day!

A friend of mine had the pink panther theme to walk in to . . .

I'm having Cannon D...I think its beautiful xx

Thats what im having!!!!!!

You have excellent taste!!

Ahh my MOH played it to me when I started planning the wedding and we both sobbed..its beautiful…

It's lovely isn't it. I was lucky enough that a friend of mine plays the piano so learnt it especially for me to walk down the aisle to.

Amazing....

For the registry office we walked in to Max Richter, Autumn Song 2 (check him out, great contemprorary classical music). for our own ceremony we wakled in to Bright Eyes, First Day of my Life which was lovely.

Wow this debate is happening in another place too - the violinist guy I am using (Simon Jordan) is playing Pachelbel canon as he says he can time the end of the piece as I reach the altar... then it's Better Together (Jack Johnston?!) and possibly some Take That Greatest Day towards the end of the ceremony. He's staying on playing more popular stuff on the piano during the reception. There's a great saxophone player too called Matt Stacey who was good but expensive.

My other half wants me to walk into the tune that Darth Vadar walks around to in Star Wars. I have said a big NO to that.

I'm walking in to an instrumental version of Music Of The Night from Phantom of the Opera :-)

That's so funny - my fella suggested Chopin's Funeral March. I was like, thanks...

I think we're having an instrumental version of Foo Fighters 'Everlong'

OMG me too!!!!!! I'm discussing it with my String Quartet's manager.

Yey for the music twin ... it's my favourite musical ... I'm obsessed with Ramin Karimloo as Phantom :-)

We are then signing register to 'Love Never Dies' Instrumental and walking out to 'Past The Point Of No Return' ... the bit in the chorus "Past the point of no return, no going back now, our games of make believe are at an end, past the thought of if or when, no use resisting, abandon thought and let the dream descend' ... happy happy happy!!!!!

We're mixing up the Music. We've got some nice classical pieces for the guests arriving and the register signing but i'm entering to MotN (no one else knows so shhhhhh!) and then we're leaving to a string version of "My Girl" just to inject some fun. Then durin the drinks reception they'll play other pieces like the star trek theme (OH loves it) , Ground force theme, the Stella artois music etc....I've had a blast trawling through their repertoire picking out pieces.

Ellie Gouldings - Your song for us

My Other half has requested "imperial march" and I am actually considering it as a surprise for him - but will actually morph the music into something more suitable for when I reach the altar, anyone any suggestions?

I think if I was going to have a classical pice for the processional, I would use Jupiter from the Planets, the music to Jerusalem (although that can be problematic with some registrars) or Arrival of the queen of Sheba.

If you want dramatic and classical, what about the Tchaikovsky's finale for the Sleeping Beauty ballet? My dad chose this for my entrance for my first wedding. It as all 18th century themed, I had the little ones walk in first, then the adult BMs, then I came in at the crecendo 56 seconds into the clip below. I absolutely loved it!

Who says you are not allowed?!?

I'm having this too, all of it will be played though, with the flowergirl and BM's walking in first then me. I get teary everytime I hear it.

We used an instrmental version of Elbow one day like this,

Oooh I hadn't thought about Glasgow Love Theme, I love that. Almost crying now! We have no idea for signing the register, we're not having anyone playing an instrument. There's a really cool group called the String Quartet Tribute, who do instrumental covers of songs we like such as Foo Fighters, Snowpatrol, U2 etc. We have a couple of ideas for when we wak out; Travis - Happy or Velvet Underground - I'm Sticking With You.
