This is part of the tradition that i don't want... I want something more to me as a person not traditional.

Cancel, my future brother-in-law will be singing a wonderful love song as the bridal party walks down. I think it adds a more personal touch.

Cancel. There’s so many good songs out there that might mean something to a couple! I chose the instrumental of Intertwined by Dodie.

Cancel! Not sure what we're using yet, but we have about 5 options that are violin/instrumental versions of songs we love.

Cancel. In my opinion, it's boring and the song should actually mean something to the bride and groom.

Cancel. I have always hated the march. I walked down the aisle to Elvis's I Can't Help Falling In Love With You on violin. It was beautiful. My sister walked down the aisle to Sleeping Beauty by Tchazchosky. It was also beautiful.

Cancel, I love the idea of having my own song to walk down the aisle too; but I am going with something different than the traditional "Here Comes the Bride" song; I plan to walk down the aisle to an instrumental Storybook Love from The Princess Bride. It is a very pretty song and tune.

Ohhh, I like this. My daughter already has her processional chosen, but this would be excellent for either seating of the special guests and parents or as a recessional. Thanks for sharing.

Cancel. Super weird song. We have a song we want to incorporate into the wedding, but don't want to dance to it, so I found an instrumental version and slowed it down a bit - super sweet, personal and not cheesy.
