    Hey Bees.. what songs are you using that's different than Luther Vandeross to walk down the aisle on? Are there any other songs out there.. church songs?

    I looking for something that slow but has alot of meaning. my aisle is short, so i need it to be powerful!

     

    Thanks,

    My song is a piano version of Canon in D by Pachelbel, somewhat like this one

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

    It's a long song but we're going to have to cut it short. I just love how pretty it sounds

    KC and JoJo This Very Moment, KC and JoJo All My Life, Johnny Gill You for me, and any gospel song. We are walking out on a gospel song. We feel that it is a testmony of our lives.

    @deebstation:yeah that was the song i had in my head for months but now i'm rethinking it. something more modern. I love that some by Maxwell "stop the world" It could work as a song to come down the aisle to or as the first dance!

    "She's You Queen to Be!"  Yes, I did!  I had an instrumental (sax-only) version of the song when I came down the aisle. It was so funny when I was watching the video afterwards, and I hear my one friend go "YESSS!" once he realizes what the song was.  It was pretty hilarious & very "us" so I loved it.  Still kept it classy by using the instrumental version, so anyone who didn't actually know what it was, just thought it was a pretty-sounding song, and it was still definitely recognizable to everyone who actually knew what it was.

    I walked down the aisle to Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve.  It was great!

    We also seriously considered "I'm Yours" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

    @eileenquiry i love the song, though some people think the beat is too fast. i do feel that we will have to walk slower-like every other beat-but oh well that gives people more time to see my beautiful dress! :)

    Let It Be - Beatles

    My FI actually picked it, and I wasn't too sure since it didn't seem fit for walking down the aisle BUT after hearing it played by a quartet I knew that was it!  We're having a string quartet play at our ceremony!
