Cancel. I haven’t heard the song in the last 10 weddings I have attended. The guests and I enjoyed listening to the song the bride played and it made us understand what she truly likes. Those songs meant something to every bride that picked it. I love that!!

Definitely cancel. I'm walking down to an instrumental, acoustic guitar version of Perfect by Ed Sheeran.

Cancel. There are so many amazing songs to walk down the aisle to, why would you choose the most boring one?

Cancel. My FI is in charge of the ceremony music and I'm sure it will be something he writes.

Everyone does Cannon in D though. It's the new Wagner. I interviewed a wedding musician once and he said it was his least favorite song because everyone wants it.
