    Cancel. I much rather walk down the aisle to a song that means something to us both. That way if we hear it on the radio or somewhere else it always sparks those butterflies that come from a great memory. Its wonderful to remember love.

    Cancel. I’ve never liked that song, I feel nothing when I hear it. The alternative “new traditional” Canon in D is so lovely and makes me a little emotional though.

    Definitely cancel! For me, it just does not fit me or my fiance's personalities. We're walking down the aisle to my friend playing a piano-rendition of 'Married Life' from Up. Smiley smile Still more "classical" sounding, but not traditional

    I am trying to pick a personal song to walk down the aisle. But if it came down to it, I wouldn't mind walking to the traditional song.

    Keep. I could not imagine anything else. I'm getting married in a church so what other song is so regal and fitting for my long walk down the aisle.

    Absolutely cancel, but do not know what else will be aloud in the Catholic Church. Anyone have any ideas?

    Cancel. I love not knowing what song the bride will come down to, and knowing it's something more personal. I am obsessed with phantom of the opera so I've been set on "All I Ask of You" and wouldn't dream of anything else
