Songs for Recessional/singing Marriage Certificate?

mrswinteriscoming, on September 15, 2021 at 2:28 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 7

We are having an intimate outdoor ceremony (by our standards) with about 40 guests. My bridal party and I will be walking down the aisle to a cover of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" as we have a small bridal party and it makes sense to do this not to break the flow of the song.

Our acoustic duo have advised that usually brides and grooms like to pick a recessional song and a song for signing the marriage certificate though I haven't really given this much thought!

What songs have you selected for your recessional and marriage certificate signing? I haven't got a clue what I want for these!

    For marriage certificate signing we've chosen Peter Gabriel's Book of Love and the Postal Service's Such Great Heights. For the recessional we're having Ray La Montagne - you are the best thing!

    If you're going with Elvis, what about some other songs from a similar era:

    signed sealed delivered (I'm yours)

    you send me

    have I told you lately

    We’re just doing one song for processional as well, since it’s a small bridal party.
    I was thinking to use the Can’t Help Falling Love as well, but for the processional. And I didn’t even THINK about the signging LOL

    Yeah, I don't think we'll do a song for the signing. I don't want to highlight this moment with music. However, our recessional is to the song "I Wanna Remember" by NEEDTOBREATHE.

    We signed our marriage license in private. After the ceremony.


    Our recessional song was, Marvin Gaye - Let’s Stay Together.

    We walked back up the aisle to Walking on Sunshine. In our state we signed at the county office and it only needed to be singed by the "witness" and officiant. And our officiant signed it in front of us while we were outside doing sunset pictures. . .nothing formal or even seen by guests
