Bridal processional: La Rejouissance (Music For the Royal Fireworks) - Handel
First dance: Dance Me to the End of Love - Leonard Cohen
And all those young whipper-snappers had to put up with it! 
Well I have to say that I am not coming down the aisle to "here comes the bride". Nope, not even close.
Since we're marrying in a historic church, it has to be a classical piece or a religious choice and they have a booming pipe organ. I love it, but am leaning towards having a harp and my song I've chosen far is Clair de Lune by Debussy .
Our first dance songs aren't picked yet, but some of my favorites are: "Sea of Love" by Robert Plant & the Honeydrippers, and "You and Me" by Dave Matthews (both perfect for the encore seaside wedding!). We are leaning towards the Dave song.
I came down the aisle to Pachelbel's Canon in D. First dance was Ryan Adams - When Stars Go Blue
Ha I'm 24 and 90% of the songs at my wedding weren't popular in my lifetime!
You can't go wrong though with a great classic.
I absolutely love Clair de Lune now..I've listened to it quite a bit and am really really happy with it.
Hey there curious bee! ;) I don't have kids and can't keep up with those other music boards what-so-ever, so you're in a better spot than me!
I am walking down the isle to The Wedding Song (There is Love) by Peter Stookey - it's a classic and beautiful song. Not sure what the recessional song is yet, but something fun. It's a very small, 16 guest, wedding.
I'd love to hear more about what other encore, mature brides are doing music wise for their cermony!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
All right, encores and more "mature" brides out there. There are plenty of music posts on the regular boards. I can keep up with them mostly because of my kids, LOL, though I will admit I have to look up some of them on youtube. Some I like, some are not me, just as with all music. But now nostalgia has me wanting to hear what songs you will choose as an encore/more mature bride. Modern, or old school?
Your song...
First dance...
And, if you are walking down an aisle to music, what's your choice?
Signed,
A curious bee :)
