What song are you using?

So I just realized not everyone uses the typical wedding match when the bride walks down the aisle. If you're not using the traditional song what are you using for yourself and the bridesmaids going down the aisle? Are you using that song for when you walk back up the aisle as a married couple or...

    We're still trying to decide on this.

    bridesmaids - not sure

    bride - The Book of Love by Peter Gabriel

    recessional - Dogs Days are Over by Florence + the Machine

    We're having a cello/violin duo, so it will all be instrumental.

    Not sure about bridesmaid's processional, but I love this beautiful version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20rkmlN2css) of Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" that's mixed with Pachelbel's Canon in D for when I walk down the aisle. The very beginning is one part (when I'm about to walk down the aisle) and goes into another part (when I start walking down) and I love it!!

    Once we're announced as a married couple, we want to play Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth" since it's upbeat and will hopefully get the party started! It's also the song at the end of Black Mirror's "San Junipero" episode, which hopefully a lot of people who've watched the show will relate to!

    I am 95% sure I'll be walking down to "I Get To Love You" by Ruelle. Others that were on my short list were "I Choose You" by Ryann Darling and "You Are Mine" by Spencer Combs & Holley Maher. Not sure yet on the bridesmaids but will likely go with a piano version of a modern song since my song has mostly piano in the background and I want them to flow.

    For the recessional, we want it to signify the start of the party so we are doing "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors.

    I am stuck between "I Choose You" by Sara Bareilles and "Halo" by Beyonce. We can't agree on an exit song though.

    Never Tear Us Apart by INXS for the processional.

    Recessional we're still deciding, but it'll probably be Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars.

    Nearly a year and a half out, nothing is super nailed down but we are pretty stuck on using classical music for our entries and exits. This is what we have so far:

    Processional (for everyone including parents): Agnus Dei by Samuel Barber

    Recessional: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel or Widor's Toccata/Widor's 5th Symphony

    FH wants to use 'Miserere Mei' as our processional. It is beautiful and he knows all of the words thanks to his involvement with several choirs but processing to the altar to a song titled 'Have mercy on me' doesn't seem quite right.

    There are so many songs to pick from .. I am not using the traditional wedding song. I am a big R n B fan and have decided to use a Whitney Houston song or Musiq Soulchild song but only instrumental... no words!

    My and his parents are walking in to “Marry Me” by Train. My one bridesmaid (my future step-daughter) is walking in to Si Bheag, Si Mhor, a Celtic instrumental song. I’m walking in to “I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You” the Pentatonix version. We’re all walking out to “signed, sealed, delivered” by Stevie wonder. Probably dancing out lol!!
