What did you walk down the aisle to?

I have not decided on this at all either! However, I do think if you want to do two separate songs, a short pause isn't awkward, just builds the suspense of the bride a little bit more! Was at a wedding this past Saturday that did exactly this, (with the violin instrumental recording) and it did not feel weird at all as a guest!

Some Ideas

Vitamin String Quartet has GREAT covers to some pretty songs that songs below are their covers

1. At Last (Originally by Etta James)

2. Somewhere Only We Know (Originally by Keane)

3. Can't Help Falling In Love (Originally by Elvis)

4. Just The Way You Are (Originally by Bruno Mars)

Also Check out Brooklyn Duo and The Soho Strings!

I walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds.

I'm walking down the aisle to the instrumental to version of "Keeper of the stars" by Tracey Byrd. My great friend is actually playing this on the piano for us!

Later, that'll be the last dance song at our reception to the original version.

So the idea is, it'll be the first song FH sees me to and the last song we dance to at the wedding.

I'm thinking of my bridal party walking down to instrumental Here Comes the Sun and I will walk down to instrumental Can you Feel the Love Tonight. YouTube any songs you like/are considering and they probably have many versions so hopefully you can find a violin/cello cover of a favorite song. I was originally thinking Somewhere Over the Rainbow the Hawaiian version by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole but my FSIL walked down to that at her wedding in December so I wanted something else lol

At this point, I'm pretty settled on walking to a version of "Han and the Princess" from Star Wars.

What I'd recommend is to start looking up instrumentals and covers of songs you like. Looking into groups like the vitamin string quartet or even just finding cover artists on youtube can be a good way to start. Sometimes hearing a familiar song a different way can help you find something you like!

I don't know the exact song I will be walking into but before me, probably when FH/Groomsmen/bridesmaid walk in, the Jurassic Park theme song is going to be hopefully played. We have a duo violinist and guitarist I am in the works with them to see what songs they generally play and to see if they can play that.
