Cancel. We're using instrumental music that has sentimental value to us instead.

Likely cancelling. I'll likely pick something else, perhaps an instrumental arrangement of a song or other composition.

KEEP! There is a reason this tune has been around for hundreds of years. Modern songs come and go and then forgotten.

CANCEL! It's just not a good composition. And I'd prefer something more personal anyways.

Keep, only for a bit. I want "Here comes the bride" played when I arrive to venue steps and enter the doors. I want the music changed as I am walking down the aisle.

Cancel. Make it something personal and meaningful to the couple getting married. That, and it sounds very old fashioned.
I plan to walk down the aisle to a rock song my FH sent me when he agreed to my proposal.

Cancel! I hate this song and am not having it played at my wedding. I feel like it’s been so played out because of movies for the most part.
