We are keeping the “Here comes the bride” but we found a remix version that has an electric guitar sound mixed in with it!

Hard pass. The original lyrics were not even romantic. Youth and virtue- no thank you

I'm definitely going to say cancel! I would rather come down the aisle to a song I can relate to and or holds a piece of my ❤️

Cancel- though I will still be using a classical/instrumental version of a modern song.

Cancel. I'm walking down to "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles. Much more fun.

Cancel! I'm going to walk the down aisle to a guitar solo of Tom Petty's "Wild Flowers". My mom passed away 5 years ago, and she always said this song reminded her of me... ironically it's always reminded me of her to.

Cancel. I always cringe when I hear it. All of our songs are so different and personal to us - that's more important to me than traditional wedding songs.

Cancel for me. I think it is a grand tune but not for me. It's too generic. I want something personal and sentimental to me as I walk down the aisle.

I’m honestly probably going to keep this just because I can’t think of any other song to go down the aisle to. However, that could change if I do find such a song!

Cancel! Changing up the ceremony music is such a good way to personalize your wedding.
