    I think all of these are good IF you go instrumental version!  I was at a wedding this past year and the bride used.... Cinderlla's A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes....Instrumental!  EVERYONE was crying...if you do a search for it, as soon as the piano makes the chimming the doors opened and there was this BEAUTIFUL BRIDE and it just all made sense!  OH CHILLS thinking about it again!  Good Luck!

    we're considering "Waiting on an angel" by Ben Harper, acoustic guitar instrumental. It's a nice melody and pace.

    Bright Eyes- First day of my life.

    This the last line of this song kills me.

    Besides maybe this time is differentI mean I really think you like me.

    This is my second go around and I'm am so in love with this man but still so nervous because of a previous marriage that went wrong from the start.

    I'm having the wedding party walk down the aisle to "River Flows in You" by yiruma. It's just a piano playing and it is so hauntingly beautiful.

    Here it is on youtube. It's only a a 3 minute song but for some reason this one lasts 9. Either way if you go to itunes you can get it in the original way yiruma plays it:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOqUFqF_ZwM

    The song I'M walking down the aisle to is from the movie pride and prejudice. I've never heard of anyone walking down the aisle to this song and since we are having a movie theme undertone to the wedding I think it's that much more perfect. It's only 1 minute 23 seconds but that's long enough I think. It's "Liz on top of the world" by Jean-Yves Thibaudet:

    Maybe one of these you will like. Or maybe it will just inspire you. :)

    I'm walking down to So Are You To Me by Eastmountainsouth as an acoustic set

    I think it'd be beautiful as just an instrumental

    I'm waling down the aisle the Vitamin String Quartet version of Sweet Child of Mine. My fiance is a G&R fan and I love different covers of songs. The intro is just dramatic enough! I like non-traditional aisle walking songs :)

    I'm walking down the aisle to the acoustic version of "Make you Feel my love" with a friend of mine singng. So it will be a mix of the Bob Dylan and Adele versions. Can't wait!

    I am using classical music.  I found a piece called the Butterfly Waltz.  It's sooo pretty and upbeat so I won't be crying the whole way down the aisle!!!

    I chose my favourite song from my favourite movie. Maybe that's an idea for you?

     

    (FWIW, I chose Edelweiss from The Sound of Music)

    I a, walking down to Kenny G's forever in love. I have always loved that song, I am having my BP come in the the first part of the song (the dj will have to edit it so it repeats) and I will walk in as the saxophone starts. We are walking back down to all you need is love by the Beatles.

    I am leaning towards "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King.

    I went to a wedding last year and bride walked out to "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve (Cruel Intentions) and I thought it was awesome!  I'd steal it if she wasn't coming to my wedding...it was so dramatic!

    On a recent episode of Parenthood, they had a choir sing Adele's “Make You Feel My Love.” Then again, anytime you can get a choir to sing for your processional, its going to be pretty amazing.

    I found a list of a few other good song ideas here.
