I was am planning on walking to Bebe and Cece-When I found you. Mom's walk to Musiq- Love Bridesmaids-Eric Benet and Tamia-spend my life with you flower girls/ring bearer- I have yet to decide

Grandparents and parents are walking in on Ribbon In the Sky by Stevie Wonder.

Wedding Party- Nobody in the World, John Legend

Since we are old school.... I've always wanted to walk down the aisle to Bobby Brown's "Every Little Step I Take". We've been amassing a huge list and this thread has added a few I'd forgotten.

I needed this so bad!

I definitely needed to see this post! Been searching for a processional song for awhile.

Thank you ladies, I am loving this post!
