Are you having BMs? They could walk and be in spot right before the part of the song that you want to walk out to. If you have no BMs, or if you just want the song to play only for you (which is what I want) you can have the music start playing for the 1 min 22 seconds and at the 1 min 23 seconds mark have the officiant motion for eveyone to stand as you begin to walk down the isle. Having the music play while people are sitting will build the anticiaption of you entering the room, and since they will be seated during that time it won't be awkard.
I agree with AnnieAAA and I am in the similar situation too. I love it when the bride doesnt appear right as the MOH gets to the end. It builds the excitment in the air. I am waiting less then a minute but I think over a minute will be fine
It's your wedding -- you do it up! If you want to make people wait, they will, it's not that long! :) Oh I love weddings, this just got me so excited to walk down the aisle! :)

What song are you looking at? I think that would build some excitement for your guests and your FI, too. :)
The plan right now is an instrumental version of The Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony" for the BM's, and then Edwin McCain's "I'll be" for me. I want to get through the entire first verse and chorus. Maybe I could come in at "Tell me we belong together," that's one of the best lines. Hmm...
I def like the idea of waiting till a specific verse, espcially if its powerful, before the bride begins to walk. I'm going to have "In my life" by the Beatles playing when I walk down the isle and I'm not going to start walking until the "But of all these friends and lovers..." its my favorite part of the song!
I love this post! I'm walking down to "At Last" and think I'll have to let it play out a while before I make my walk. I was nervous about making people wait, so I'm relieved to know others are doing the same thing!
I think a little wait is good. builds up the anticipation. don't make it too long though or people will start thinking, where is she? you should be okay...what about flower girls or someone else walking down during that extra time? or having mothers light candles up front? something...
I'm struggling with a similar situation. Mine's 1:10 or something like that, and I really can't start it later or end it sooner. Still thinking about what to do, but of course you could always have your bridesmaids proceed during the first part of the song, and when there's a change in tempo, you can start. =) Or you could just walk REALLY SLOW.

Okay, we're opting for non-traditional music for the wedding. The problem is, for the song I want to walk down to, it really needs to run for at least the first minute and 22 seconds to get to the end of the good part. I don't really want to cut anything out, or wait too long after it starts to come out. But a minute and a half sounds like a pretty long time, given that it's a pretty average length aisle. Any ideas how to draw it out?
