Singing down the aisle?

Corinn, on January 11, 2018 at 11:24 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 16
I saw a YouTube video recently where a bride actually sang a song as everyone processed in, and then continued to sing as she walked down the aisle. It was sort of lovely in the video! My fiancee really loves it when I sing for him,and I have a song in mind that is significant to us. In your opinions, would it be obnoxious and extra to sing at my own wedding?

    I recently saw something like that when watching four weddings. However, I think I would be too nervous to do something like that, and that's one more thing to stress about. But, it's your wedding, if it is important to you, go for it!

    Personally, I think it is a little over the top (and you will need to have a REALLY good voice to do this). Are you doing a first look? Can you sing to him then instead? If not maybe sing to him at the rehearsal dinner instead.

    This. It can be an awkward situation. And you'd probably need a microphone on you. I like the idea of singing to just your FH at your first look or another private time.

    Agree with other PP's. I feel like it's extremely awkward for the guests.

    If you want to do it, I think the rehearsal suggestion or during a first look would be a better time/place for it.

    I would feel so awkward as a guest if you did this.

    If you want to do this then you totally should. Guests can feel awkward if they want. If it's special to you, do it Smiley laugh

    If you want to sing there is a better time for it. Reception or something else. Don’t give yourself another thing to worry about/distract you as you walk down the aisle

    I would think it's simultaneously lovely but also massively cringe for the bride if it didn't sound amazing. Unless you're a trained singer in front of tons of people, you may just be too nervous to do this really well.

    That being said, I went to a wedding recently where the bride sang to the groom at the reception and it was SO lovely. Also, I have a couple of guy friends with musical skills and they sang/played to their wives during their receptions and their guests loved it.

    I would feel super awkward as a guest if this happened at a wedding I was attending. Maybe it really is lovely, but I have a really hard time picturing it and the logistics of how it would work. I think singing at the reception may be a better option!

    As a guest, I would be rolling my eyes if this happened. It just screams "look at me, look at me!!!"

    I saw this on four weddings too and I think she won because of it. She also self-catered if I remember correctly.

    I think it’s cute but i would be worried I would cry while walking down the aisle. Or be focused on singing versus enjoying my moment walking down the aisle.

    If you can keep your composure and your voice is phenomenal, definitely! I'd be concerned about breath support and volume, so having a back up plan if you decide you can't do it would be super important.


    It might be a nicer thing to do at the reception, as long as you keep it short and sweet.

    I think it's about your day. I saw a video of two different brides singing "the one he kept for me" and they nailed it! The audience loved it and FH seemed so appreciative. My wonderful extremely talented fh is singing to me as I walk in. I would not have it any other way. Girl sing! Sing! Sing!

    I would probably feel uncomfortable and awkward. I feel like that's such a strange thing to do.
