    I am soooo excited because I just decided what song I shall be walking down the aisle to. I have choosen: The music of "Blackbird" by the Beatles via violin and cello.

    I'm thinking the instrumental version of "You Are My Sunshine". Not the kiddie version, of course!

    I will be walking down the aisle to something more traditional, Pachelbel's "Canon in D".

     

    BUT....for our Recessional we will be exiting the church to my favorite band, Coldplay, and their instrumental piano version of their song "Yellow". :)  :)

    Okay, so I don't really have an aisle to be walking down, but we will have "entrance" music as people are settling for our short, intimate ceremony.  It's a shortened, edited version of Ingrid Michaelson's "Little Romance."  It seemed so appropriate.

    "I'm in the mood for love/I'm in the mood to dance/I'm in the mood for a little romance. I'm all dressed up tonight/I waited all night long/when will they finally play our song? I'm in the mood for love."

    I know it's not traditional to actually have music with lyrics, but nothing about our wedding has been traditional so far and ingrid michaelson's music has a special place in our relationship, several good memories relating to a few of her songs.

    My favorite movie is the sound of music.  Ever since I was a kid, I have LOVED that wedding scene.  I'm thinking about having the organ music (sans the Maria song) played when I come down the aisle... I can get ahold of the sheet music.. just have to decide!

    Simple Gifts.  We're having a string duo at the ceremony and they do a beautiful job with it.  It was actually FI's suggestion, but I love the melody and it goes with our small wedding and theme.

    @MichelleMyBell - your icon is adorable!

    I'm walking down the aisle to "Once Upon A Time ... Storybook Love" from The Princess Bride.  I've known I wanted to walk down the aisle to that piece for yeeeeeeeears now.  I think it has perfect breaks in the music for my 'maids and a good break in the music for my entrance.  I just hope we can pull it off!!

    My FI has an attachment to Pachelbel's Canon that stems from his high school band days, so the parents and my grandfather are entering to that.  While he and his guys are in their way in the song will switch to a hip hop version of the song that opens "See You When You Get There" by Coolio.  My girls are walking in to an instrumental of "Everything" by Michael Buble and since the FI gets to mix things up with his music, I'm walking in to a pepped up version of "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring," called "Joy" by Apollo 100.  Our recessional is "Fishing in the Dark" by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.  It will be nothing if not original :)

    Totally unoriginal-At Last...I just love the beginning of the song and think it'll be perfect to walk too. I'm having my man of honor walk to It's a Wonderful World.  The processional is the one we are most excited about though-U2 Beautiful Day. We will have the song start right at our first kiss and get louder after the officiant pronounces us..yay!

    @mamadee, that will be gorgeous! Liz on Top of the World is on my short list of possibilities. :) We don't know what music we will have yet, but if we leave it up to my sons it would be "The Imperial March." ;)

    ooooooo Blackbird instrumental!!!  what a good idea!  i was going to do Somewhere Over the Rainbow (the hawaiian version, if you've heard it...) but my FI doesn't want anything associated with a movie or with lyrics... blackbird is a good idea!  we're dancing our first dance to Something by the Beatles, and the rest of the wedding party will be walking to Across the Universe, so this would fit our unintended theme lol
