Walking down the aisle - song suggestions needed

Margaret, on July 21, 2020 at 8:34 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 8

So my FH and I want to include his son (10) in our wedding planning. And we've done that successfully thus far, from the date, the location and even our invitations.

We're an older couple (40s), this isn't his first wedding, our parents are in their 70s, etc. I asked my FH what he thought about instead of me walking down the aisle alone or with my elderly mom (father passed away) we walked down the aisle together with his son between us and have his son join our hands as we reach the alter. He loved the idea which I'm thrilled with, and we have to still present it to his son.

So the question I now have is what song would you use to walk down the aisle? I thought I knew what I wanted, but now that it could be the 3 of us together walking down the aisle I'm at a total loss of what song / music would be appropriate.

    I would use whatever you have in mind, I don't think having his son in the processional should change the song.

    Good point, I guess part of me was thinking it should be more "familial" versus more me to FH (if that makes any sense)

    I have always loved the Beatles here comes the sun. My sister walked down the aisle to this.

    Ooh I feel like the Beatles have several different songs you could use! 🎵

    You could also just do a instrumental processional if the lyrics are throwing you off!

    Thanks! Definitely need to think this one out some more. Our first choice was very personal to my FH and I, where as now I want something more representative of the three of us.

    We are in our 40s too.

    I am going with instrumental All of me loves all of you John legend.

    I saw piano guys and Brooklyn Duo have good instrumentals for weddings. I was going to have my niece/bridesmaid walk to A thousand years instrumental version.

    Thanks! I’ve done some research on the Piano Guys and Brooklyn Duo and like some of their music. It will be just the 3 of walking together. I thought to have some fun / upbeat music playing from the time of seating until we walk down the aisle. But it’s still really the last thing on my list to do. LOL

    Love that idea.
    Perhaps Mumford and sons or the Beatles
    There so many would be nice to pick something means something to you as family
