What are you walking down the aisle to??

3 August, 2013 at 15:42 Posted on Planning 0 26

Hi all,

I think I have just decided on the song I will walk down the aisle to- City and Colour-Northern Wind. It means a lot to me and my fiancé as we are huge fans and I adore the song Smiley smile

What song are you walking down the aisle to? and out of the venue to?

    One of our first dates was at the 100 Club on Oxford St to see an intimate Tim Minchin straight set. It was a wonderful night. Tim was supported by a Scottish singer called Tamara Schlesinger. We used an album track of hers because it was light and sweet and she has the prettiest voice, perfect for a summer wedding. We also loved that no one else would recognise it so it was another 'us' thing Smiley laugh

    Hmmm at the moment it's the following but it's not definite so we may change our minds:

    Entrance : Here Comes The Bride OR something similarly classic.

    Exit: Thank You by Led Zeppelin.

    Leona Lewis - footprints in the sand.

    Was going to have that as our first dance but OH said he wanted a different one for that as we have a song which means something to us.

    Im now kind of stuck with what to have as the signing of registrar music and walking out music!

    Aren't I dull ... Walking in to Pachelbel's Canon. But there is a reason, when I was 19 my mother and I saw it's performed in Venice in a beautiful church and it was a very emotional al experience and means a lot to us both.

    No idea what we are walking out to yet!

    In - bittersweet symphony, (trying to find and instrumental) the verve

    Signing registrar - i want book of love, peter Gabriel unfortunately OH doesn't want that so still don't know

    Out - we go together, John travolta and Olivia Newton john

    First dance - better together, jack johnson

    We are also making up a playlist for guests to listen to when waiting for me to arrive at the ceremony and then a background playlist for during the canapes and dinner. Our venue as a sound system rigged through all the rooms and hooked up to an iPod dock. So you can mingle through all the rooms listening to the same music, I think it will give a nice feel.

    I must admit we are being very traditional with our in & out songs.

    I'm walking in to the Bridal Chorus and we're walking out to the Wedding March which are both being played by a harpist.

    We've spent all afternoon trying to think of a first dance song and are still no closer to picking one. Still, it's whiled away some of the rainy afternoon we've had today.

    Me too. OH wanted to stick with the traditional, and I am happy to oblige (mainly because I am lazy and can't be bothered to put too much thought into it!).

    Walking in - Processional Hymn by Vangelis (beautiful piece of music)

    Signing of Register - A friend is singing 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'

    Walking out - This is the Day by Manic Street Preachers

    First Dance - Everyday by Slade, it has a huge personal meaning for us as we spent the first 4 years of our relationship 200 miles apart and the opening line is 'Everyday when i'm away, i'm thinking of you'.... I WILL NOT CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!

    I DON'T KNOW!

    We have to send the paperwork back to the registry office in a fortnight at the latest, and I still haven't decided.

    The problem is that OH and I don't have a 'song'. We both love music, have very diverse tastes, but our musical mood changes all the time so I could pick something now and- when it comes to the day- think "Why on earth did I pick this?!"

    Does it even really matter? I don't think it does. I might just pick something arbitrary. But nothing slushy!

    Current favourite is the intro to Love Spreads by the Stone Roses.

    This! We couldn't give too hoots about the church ceremony and all its rules and regulations about what we can and can't do/ say/ play (no offense intended, apologies), so we just hired a singer & organist, told them we both like Bach and they came up with stuff for us Smiley smile If it doesn't matter to you, and you have free choice, pick something random so you've got a 50/50 chance of liking it on the day Smiley winking

    Our wedding is waaaay off (don't even have a set date yet!) but I already know what I want to walk down the aisle to! It will be Somewhere Over the Rainbow but the version by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, it's played on the end of the film 50 First Dates which is one of mine and my OH's favourite films. I also love Wouldn't It Be Nice by the Beach Boys from the same film, so that might feature in the wedding somewhere too.

    Walking in to 'Together in Electric Dreams - Phil Oakey' and walking out to 'Mr Blue Sky - ELO'.

    Neither song mean that much to us... they are just cool tracks that we both like (which given I like indie and folk and he is a metal head was pretty difficult).

    We walk in to our reception to the Rocky theme tune (might insist we wear boxing gloves ?), and our first dance is Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, fused into Shake your tail feather from the Blues Brothers movie.

    Eclectic!
