What song did you walk down the aisle to?

[ErlingHaalandsManBun]

My DD is getting married next year and we have been discussing songs for her to walk down the aisle to.

She is quite 'alternative' and not at all 'soppy' (her words not mine!) and doesn't want anything too lovey dovey.

So what did you chose and why? I may get some sneaky good ideas for her 😜

For reference when I married my DH I walked down to Chaka Khan 'Love Me Still'

Walked in to ’Here, There & Everywhere’ by the Beatles. A friend sang ‘Grow Old With You’ from the Wedding Singer while we signed the vows. We walked out to Hall and Oates, ‘You Make my Dreams’ and the first dance was to ‘Heroes’ by David Bowie.

Can't help falling in love (the Ellie Goulding version as I wanted a woman singing it but I much prefer the original) to walk down, Bob Marley is this love for signing the register and The Temptations My Girl to walk out (DH choice)

Flower girls/page boys and bridesmaids walked into pachelbels canon in d and then I had ‘the one’ by kodaline…signed the register to beautiful piano version of ‘love story’ and then walked out together to ‘happy’ which my 8 year old nephew chose!

Zadok the priest (Handel) as did both our DD's
We just had organ but DD's had choirs.

Arrival of the Queen of Sheba on the organ.

Whiter of Pale (which is very Bach like), instrumental version, played on a church organ.

I love this! My favourite piece of pipe music. How lovely.

Bach's Prelude and Fugue in G Major

Highland Cathedral for me !
Played on a wonderful organ , lots of crescendos and swoops .

The Corrs - Runaway

I’d have this

November Rain by Guns & Roses! Love the music and it was November!

Mr Big. Nothing but love. Big hair rock band but this song has a wedding sound to it.

Yes - Agree

all my cousins got married in the 80s and it was here comes the bride!

Elgar’s Nimrod. We walked back up to the Up Film’s ‘Married Life’.

Paradise by Coldplay

Yes that was my other suggestion - raindrops

Let there be love would be good

Can’t help falling in love with you walking in and Better together by Jack Johnson at the end.
Some ideas for you..
Simply the best by Tina Turner or Always Be my baby Mariah Carey. They used a cover version of both songs in the Schitts creek wedding.
Baby can I hold you, Tracy Chapman, There’s a lovely version she did live with Pavarotti on YouTube.
Another idea that I think is quite cool is You’re so cool, Hans zimmer, it’s from True Romance and I think I saw an interview with Margo Robbie and she had it at her wedding.

They said it was too connected with the church - and to be fair, I grew up Catholic and associate it with alleluia!

I had the pipes (Amazing Grace).

What about “happy heart”
Andy Williams - wait for the big crescendo

I had Songbird by Fleetwood Mac. Our first dance was Nothing Else Matters by Metallica - we class that as "our song". Married 13 years today!

We had “Butterfly Waltz” by Brian Crain for walking down the aisle and a few other pieces of his for the other bits

Another one who had Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major, played on the organ.

Walked out to Widor’s Toccata.

A few years later, our child was born as Pachelbel was playing: planned CS so we brought in music, and they emerged during that piece!
