    We're using a condensed version of In My Dreams by A Piece of the Action. That's a plug for FI's band.  He wrote the song and is the singer, but it's also about me, definitely non-traditional.

    Our wedding party is walking in to Song #2 by Blur.

    We are thinking Ima Be by Black Eyed Peas or your Love is My Drug by Kesha. I have been to a lot of weddings that they used I've Got a Feeling by Black Eyed Peas.

    I'm comtemplating Conquest by The White Stripes.  I really just want the horn intro and the word "Conquest."  The rest of the lyrics don't really fit us, but I just think it would be super awesome.  I'm hoping my DJ will have the ability to cut the vocals right after he sings "Conquest"

    Lets Get it Started, by Black Eyed Peas.  The band chose it and it was perfect!

    We're probably walking in to "That's What I like About You!" by the Romantics. Our bridal party will probably walk in to "Let's Get It Started" Black Eyed Peas. Have fun choosing your song!

    Bridal party and us will walk into "what is love" by Haddaway. I'm hoping some of them will do the head bopping routine from "A night at the roxbury".

    We are going to use "Forever" by Chris Brown for all of us...since my mom would have a COW if we danced down the aisle at the ceremony (like that YouTube video/Office episode) we're settling for dancing into the reception...LOL.  :)

    my FI got to choose this, and he chose the voiceover of the dude yelling "let's get ready to rrrrrrrrrumble!" followed by the song that goes "y'all ready for this?  da na na na..."

    yep, it's straight off the jock jamz soundtrack... hah!

    We are leaning towards "I Believe In a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness. It has a great beat perfect for the bridal party entrance. Check out the lyrics...

    Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel

    My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel

    Touching you, touching me
    touching you, god you're touching me

    I believe in a thing called love
    Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
    There's a chance we could make it now
    We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
    I believe in a thing called love
    Ooh!

    I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
    You got me in a spin but everythin' is A.OK!

    Touching you, touching me
    touching you, god you're touching me

    I believe in a thing called love
    Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
    There's a chance we could make it now
    We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
    I believe in a thing called love
    Ooh! Guitar!

    Touching you, touching me
    touching you, god you're touching me

    I believe in a thing called love
    Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
    There's a chance we could make it now
    We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
    I believe in a thing called love
    Ooh!

    The musical intro to "Thunderstruck" by ACDC - it just gets you revved up!  Perfect intro music, I think!  Plus, FH said no lovey dovey songs, lol.

    MasqueradeMom    May 21, 2011   Louisville KY

    My daughter's wedding is in a theatre, on stage, and the reception is in the main lobby.  The theme is Phantom of the Opera/Masquerade and the Bridal party will come down the stairs into the room to the song "Masquerade". 

    We have made custom masks for each of the bridal party and there is an inexpensive mask for every guest on their table :)  It's going to be great!

    This might be a dumb question but... when do you use a song for your entrance and when do you not?? Do you not use a grand entrance song if you're being introduced and going straight into your first dance?  My fiance wants to use something fun like "Another Bites the Dust" or Lets get Ready to Rumble... but we're going straight into our first dance from being introduced... so would we not use one at all???
