    Just curious as to what other brides are choosing as their song for the ceremony and as their first dance :) Anyone doing anything non-traditional?

    I think we will end up dancing to Angel by Jack Johnson or Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis for first dance...for the ceremony, I think I am going to be traditional :P

    I'm walking down the aisle to an instrumental version of Don't Stop Believin'...for no reason really, just when else am I going to get a chance to make a grand entrance to Journey? Never. :)

    Haven't picked the ceremony songs yet.. I'm thinking maybe Heavenly Day by Patty Griffin for my processional and What I Wouldn't Do by A Fine Frenzy for the recessional?  Our "introduction" song for the reception will be Let Go by Frou Frou (that's really our song, but it's too fast and random to use for our first dance.).  First dance will be Lullaby by Dixie Chicks.

    I'm talking down to Sea of Love by Cat Powers. And I think our recessional song is going to be First Day of My Life. We're thinking At Last for our first dance but we're not even sure if we're going to have a first dance or not yet.

    @Jillbean- You sound like my kind of girl. lol

    I'm processing to an instrumental of "Imagine" by John Lennon. We' haven't nailed down a first dance song yet but our list of options has been narrowed to:

    • The Luckiest by Ben Folds
    • First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes
    • No One's Gonna Love You by Band of Horses
    • Brighter than Sunshine by Aqualung

    I'm walking down the isle to "Next to You"  by Mitch and Mickey from the movie A Mighty Wind.  Our first dance is "Without You" by Jasper and the Prodigal Sons.  I wanted our recessional to be Never Ending Story, but I got vetoed :(  boo!  No clue what the recessional is going to be for now.  Oh and my father daughter dance is "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie! There's going to be tons of Stevie Wonder at the Hyphensmith wedding!

    @zippylef LOL. I like your choice too. :) 

    We just decided the groomsmen and bridesmaids will enter to an instrumental "White Wedding" by Billy Idol, and we will all exit to "You're My Best Friend" by Queen (with lyrics). 

    I told a friend of mine and she was like "Is your wedding eighties theme now?" 

    All I had to say to that is dust off your turquoise taffeta prom dress, baby! This ceremony's a party!

    We haven't had any official talks but this are some ideas off the top of my head I don't hate:

    Bridal Party and I walking in to: Party Music from the musical Hair,

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M38WxLxHnKY

    Recessional: Bargain, The Who (would be our first song but not very dance-able),

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1AgiTh4X8U

    First Dance: Old Souls from Phantom of the Paradise,

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f19L5H3eqzQ

     

    I grew up with lots of musicians around and music defines my life. And I have at least two years to decide so it will probably change, considering I want to work The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Eagles in somehow. hahaha.

    @Jillbean - My fiance's  groomsmen are walking into a string quartet version of Don't Stop Believing!!!! Isn't it so perfect?!?!

    I'm definitely going very untraditional for ceremony music:

    I'm walking in to the theme from GWTW

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikVeY0brtXU&feature=related

    my fiance's walking in to the theme from The Office

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9GilKnpiv0

    the groomsmen and bridesmaids are walking in to Don't stop Believing

     

    and our recessional will be I'm a Believer by Smash Mouth

    We're having a pretty traditional wedding. I've always dreamed of walking down the aisle to the traditional bridal march.

    The songs during the ceremony are "The Prayer" and "When I Say I Do".

    The recessional song is "Somewhere over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

    And our first dance is "Soulmate" by Josh Turner :)

    We plan to have Ray LaMontagne's "You Are The Best Thing" playing as we leave the ceremony. We still have a million different ideas for the first dance. FI loves Michael Buble. Like, LOVES/wants to be him when he grows up. Lol. So there's a good chance Michael Buble will be the artist for our first dance.

    You Are The Best Thing:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAVR1SbW9fU

    I picture this just starting to swell as the officiant starts in on the whole, "...power vested in me..." business, then playing louder as the wedding party leaves.

    My gals are I are walking in to "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys. Recessional will be "Best of my Love" the the Emotions. Should be fun! We're entering the Reception to "Two Hearts" by Phil Collins (cos we're big cheese balls) and our first dance will be to "Eight Days a Week" by the Beatles. Super fun!

    walking down to ave maria, because i'm catholic and you can't use non church music

    first dance-over the valley, by pink martini

    FI proposed to me while we were looking over the wilamette valley, and the song was written about looking over the wilamette valley (thats in oregon btw) so it's pretty perfect.  it's a sweet song "and when we're old and grey/i'll still be betting/you are my one and only love"

    Not sure what to walk down to, I was thinking of the song "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston. our first dance will be to our song "Diary" by Alicia Keyes which was the song that played during our first kiss.
