What song did you walk down the aisle to?

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'

My granddaughter walked down the aisle to music from Lord of the Rings. Beautiful and moving.

I came in to 'Gabriel's Oboe' from a film called The Mission. It's a beautiful piece of music and was played beautifully. I thought it was the perfect thing because I play the oboe and love the sound. It wasn't until my son was a few years old that I realised it was still more perfect because I had called my son Gabriel.
