We have only decided on entrance music so far. David Garrett instrumental on violin of I'll stand by you, because my h2b has stood.by me and been supportive throughout my cancer treatment.

For gathering and entrance (there was no aisle to speak of) we had Last Time by Bond which is a kind of instrumental arrangement of Bittersweet Symphony.

For signing we had All the Time in the World by Fun Loving Criminals and When Tomorrow Comes by the Eurythmics.

To exit we had Goldfinger by Shirley Bassey which took us out to the DB5.

Bagpipes for us.

In to Highland Cathedral and out to The Gael.

The only 'real' music we've had to choose is our first dance

Processional: Savage Garden, 'Truly Madly Deeply'. DH chose it: love him, hate this song!

Register: 'What a Wonderful world', Louis Armstrong and 'Bridge over Troubled Water' by Simon and Garfunkel

Recessional: 'Thinking' by Rusty Shackle

Followed by a mixed bag of random stuff (including 'Ernie the fastest milkman in the West' among others) for the next 15 mins while everyone trailed out behind us

Walked in to: Together in Electric Dreams by Phil Oakey

Signed the register to: Don't Stop Me Now by Queen and LOV by Fitz and the Tantrums

Walked out to: Mr Blue Sky by ELO.

And they still all make me grin when I hear them.....

Walking down the aisle to The Beatles - all you need is love

Walking back down the aisle as a married couple - The Beatles - I want to hold your hand

First Dance Ed Sheeran 'Kiss me' followed by Black eyed Peas 'I've gotta feeling' to get the party started!

Thank you for sharing! It's very helpful

We're having:

Guests arrive

Variety of J-Pop music

Processional

Pazu's Fanfare, from Studio Ghibli's Laputa: Castle in the Sky

Signing the register

Not Even the King (Alicia Keys)

TBC

Recessional

TBC - currently toying with a couple of J-Pop numbers or the Krobeiniki (aka the Tetris theme tune)

We are having Nick Drake, Aphex Twin, and the Smiths. I know... it's an unlikely combo.

Not sure at the moment

Thinking of All you need is love by the Beatles for walking down aisle, and the chain by fleetwood mac (grand prix intro music as my OH loves cars)

my friend had a metallica song to walk down the aisle (her fav band) and to leave the friends theme tune (shes a big fan), which were both so fitting. I wish i had some really meaningful song or one that people think aww thats so k.j.w/us.

We're also having bagpipes (that's if the vicar allows them)

for walking down the aisle:

highland cathedral

walking out:

hills of argyle, and others once out (leaving that up to them)

luckily for us my h2b plays the bagpipes and plays in 3 bands, so we have one of his band mates is playing for us ?

Arriving to 'the arrival' by Abba played by string quartet

leaving to highland cathedral

still to decide on few other songs for them to do, possibly do run by snow patrol with us both being runners and one of string quartet is our running friend , all ties in nicely with us

Walking down the isle (which is a surprise to groom) to marry you by Bruno Mars, sung by my brownies who will walk out before me, cd will be playing to.

signing of the register - my niece is singing At Last, Beyoncé version

walking out - your love is lifting me higher, Jackie Wilson

The only one I know 100% is that I'll be waking down the aisle to The Shape Of Things To Come by Bear McCreary, from Battlestar Galactica. I might also have Passacaglia by the same composer and from the same show at some point. I'd quite like our recessional song to be Tender by Blur. We're not having a first dance.

I hadn't even thought of music for guests to enter. Sod that, we're only having 12 guests anyway, they can chat amongst themselves.

Walking into _ Adele Make You Feel my Love piano version

Signing to Eva Cassidy Songbird and Boyzone Better

walking out to Happy Pharell Williams

Ohhh! You are using a piece of studio ghibli too? I'm using the piano version "the name of life" from spirited away!

Also going to be using (but not sure where during the ceremony):

Theme of love (piano) - final fantasy 4

The empress (instrumental) - Chinese televised drama

Zelda's lullaby - the legend of zelday, skyward sword (leaving the ceremony ?)

We're being geeky lol

Arrival of bride: Theme from Star Trek (the 1st of the new films)

Signing of register: Themes from Fringe, Firefly and Game of Thrones

Exit of bride & groom: 11th Doctor theme from Doctor Who

First dance: Rule the World by Take That

Finally decided on after the ceremony music of an instrumental tinkly version of let it go for our Lapland wedding. Well it is in an ice chapel so a real Frozen wedding!

We had the following - some slightly unusual choices but reflect us and our tastes very well!

Pre-ceremony:

Casualties of Cool album by Devin Townsend (one of our favourite albums and very chilled)

Processional:

Nothing Else Matters - cover of the Metallica song by Apocalypta (cello quartet)

Signing of register:

You're my best friend - Queen

My baby just cares for me - Nina Simone

Recessional:

You give me something - Jamiroquai

Hello,

Not sure if you are still interested, we got married in July and had:

Entrance Music: Paradise Stars - Noah & The Whale

Exit Music - All I Want Is You - Barry Louis Polisar

First Dance - Crack The Shutters - Snow Patrol

We didn't have a DJ, we chose to play our own songs using Spotify, playing a range from Foo Fighters to Frank Sinatra. I played a Cliff Richard song for my late Mum and we even had Imagine Dragons version of Taylor Swift's Blank Space. We played my husband's favourite song, Agape by Bear's Den followed by Luther Vandross with So Amazing.

We had a whole range of songs but the most important thing and the reason we didn't have a DJ, is that every song we played meant something to one or both of us

Dawn

Guests arriving: "Nothing Else Matters" by Apocalyptica
Entrance: "Amazed" by Lonestar
Signing the register: "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith
"The Deeper The Love" by Whitesnake
"Your My Best Friend" by Queen
Exit: "Walking On Sunshine" by Katrina & The Waves

I want to use "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" by U2 but my OH isn't keen. Can't imagine why...

We were not at all traditional so doubt anyone will be picking up tips from this but;

for guests arriving - should I stay or should I go, I predict a riot, I would walk 500 miles, one way of life - can't remember the others.

walking down the aisle - In my life, the Beatles. OH loves the beatles and I chose it as a surprise for him.

signing the register - Clare Island, The Saw Doctors. We both love it.

Walking out - Beautiful day, The Levellers. One of our favourite tracks by a favourite band.

Apparently my cousin had to stop his wife from dancing whilst they were waiting for me to arrive?

Bridal entrance - metallica - nothing else matters.

Leaving - blue suede - hooked on a feeling.

Signing the register - Sara bareilles - I choose you.

Newton faulkner - if this is it.

And if we get chance, for my father's amusement - iron maiden - bring your daughter to the slaughter.

We had - while guests were arriving - a selection including

Moon River

'Your song' - Ellie Goulding

'Over the rainbow' - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

'You make me happy' - The Ukuleles

'A thousand years' - Christina Perry

'I have a dream' - Amanda Seyfried

'Moments' - Charlotte Campbell

Arrival of the bride:

'How long will I love you' - Ellie Goulding

Signing of the register:

'When you know' - Shawn Colvin

'You take my breath away' - Eva Cassidy

Recessional:

'All you need is love' - The Beatles

First Dance:

'When you say nothing at all' - Ronan Keating

I absolutely love your choices !

Another bagpipe bride. I really like Highland Cathedral but OH not keen so probably going with Rowan Tree for processional. If we can persuade the piper it will be a piped version of the Star Wars theme for our exit but unlikely he'll want to do that in which case I'd quite like Mairi's wedding if it's an option.

Lovely choices everyone, here was mine :-

Walking down the aisle - Canon in D by Pachelbel

Signing the register - A Thousand Years (instrumental version) and Rule The World (instrumental version)

Walking out - Incomplete by Backstreet Boys
