Where do you stand on "Here Comes The Bride"? Keep or cancel?

Cancel! I walked down the aisle to Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love." He's my favorite singer, so I just had to walk to one of his songs.

Nope. I want a different song. I'm not marrying in a church, but some churches don't allow this piece because of the pagan connotations of the opera. Ironically, this song is actually not the processional down the aisle, but is sung when the bride (in a doomed marriage) is escorted to the bridal chamber.

Cancel! I don't think I've ever heard that song at an actual wedding. There are better ones.

Cancel. My ceremony will be dedicated to my late mother. So the wedding party will walk down to one of her favorite artists Anita Baker "you bring me joy". I will walk down to my favorite artist Whitney Houston " I believe in you and me"

My sister had this played at her wedding and I thought it was kind of boring. But that’s just me!

I’m walking to A Thousand Years, string version.

Cancel. Brides should walk down the aisle to a song that is meaningful to the couple, not to some song that everyone has used. I think it is a perfect time to add a personal touch to the wedding.
