To think I can get away with this? (wedding related)

[FadingAwayToAHippo]

To walk down the aisle to

Ha, that used to be my ringtone on my mobile for when the MIL rang.

I need to suggest this to my sister, she's getting married on 4th Msy next year...

I hope you've got an understanding priest! No way would ours allow any music that wasn't religious. Even at my grandad's funeral, my Nana wanted "My Way" and he wouldn't allow it. If he agrees then go for it!

Very nice, AllHail.

I'd consider the theme from Lawrence of Arabia but I can't imagine having a formal sort of wedding like that.

Hope you get it approved Fading.

We has a civil ceremony so we has free reign, I walked down the aisle to "Good Riddance" by Green Day!

Marvellous. Of course you should. We've had friends going out to theme tunes such as the "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" tune and a Monty Python tune - go with what works for you!

That's my mums favourite film, she'd love that!

Will need to put a good quote in from that.

Also, "I fart in your general direction..." that's for my dad:)

On second thoughts OP.... you need this

You could sweep up the aisle like a Princess to this!

Now wondering if I should say to DP or not.aybe I could leave it as a surprise.

I'm sure the priest will be fine, he's generally quite relaxed, again within reason, this just might be stretching reason a bit!

Don't tell him what it is, just play it. Tell him you fancy something dramatic and with a serious purpose.

The priest, that is, not your DP.

Definitely dont tell him!

I want to see the wedding vid of his face when the music starts and you enter the church!

I would love to walk down the aisle to the death march, as long as I didn't have to wear a black dress and helmet! I also think it would be fabulous to have the Cantina band tune playing for the few minutes before the bride arrives, when guests are finding their seats! DP and I have never had 'normal' ideas about weddings. Another idea is Muppets themed! No plans to marry whatsoever, just hypothetical scenarios! I saw a clip on You've Been Framed aaaages ago where the bride entered to the Jaws theme! What better way to start your marriage than to show everyone what a great sense of humour you have together!

Dooo eeeet. Weddings can be really tedious and the "quirky" ones can be really twee. This would be so funny - really help everyone relax and enjoy the day.

I have a sense of humour but walking down the aisle to the Death March is the most hideous idea, as is the Jaws theme tune. Why? Just why?

There's different and then there's tacky.

Op walk down to whatever you like, it's your wedding. :)

I'm not sure. I think having a quirky piece of music is great, but I certainly wouldn't want a complete theme including Star Wars costumes and Yoda cake or whatever. Too much is definitely tacky. What I really cringe at is weddings where some generic overly schmaltzy first dance song is played, with the couple shuffling awkwardly across the floor, and poems, readings or hymns that seem to have no thought in them. I like it when the couple show a little part of what really means something to them. OP, If you've made your mind up I think your issue is more practical, and whether or not the Priest will allow your choice. Let us know how it goes down!

On a side note, one song I've heard a lot at weddings lately is Marry You by Bruno Mars. I will tell you why this is an awful choice:

It's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you

1. "...something dumb to do" = I haven't given much thought to this at all. We've probably only just met.

2. "...is it this dancing juice? Who cares, baby" = We're obviously wasted, confirming all of the above.

I genuinely want to know if people choose this because of the catchy melody and chimes in it, or if the lyrics really resonate with them and is a true reflection of their love! Cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe!

MY BIL is huge star wars fan, they walked back down the aisle to the star wars theme...it didn't quite work on the organ though, I don't think many people recognised it.

Ha ha Welsh May the Fourth be with You! Love it!

error I have had similar ones where you just know that they havent actually listened to the lyrics properly!

"Isnt she lovely?" being played whilst the b&g were necking like a pair of teenagers in a bus shelter was when you consider the song is about a fathers love for his baby daughter!

My cousin had "My heart will go on" from Titanic, interesting choice as the song is about the one you love dying. Not least because her heart most certainly did not go on, not if the subsequent messy divorce due to her knocking off her ex throughout her engagement and marriage was anything to go by anyway!

I would love it. Geek weddings rule...we often thought about having a zombie wedding. Our massive plan was just after we'd exchanged rings to have my DH start coughing and then fall down dead and turn into a zombie...he'd then attack me and I'd turn into a zombie (blood etc everything) and then we'd chase everyone out of the registry office...well it was a bit more detailed than that...but we ended up not having the means to do it like that...We were going to have someone doing zombie make-up on the guests at the reception and make it all post-apocalyptic.

That probably sounds horrific to lots of people but we're both MASSIVE zombie film buffs so it would have been amazing

I think if I am going to do it (waiting on the pianist getting back to me before I speak to the priest) it will just be fore the bridesmaids. But I will run it by my sisters first, if they have a problem I'll scrap it.

I found Glasgows Love Theme (can't link as I'm in work so no access to youtube) which is from Love Actually and also the Butterfly Waltz which may be from Twilight so kind of stick to our movie theme.

I also love The Luckiest by Ben Folds. But where does that leave DP? I want something to be personal to him during the service.

His other favourite film is the Rocky Horror Picture Show...

I should point out other than the music choices and the table names this is a pretty standard/traditional wedding, with no running theme, maybe a bit rustic-y if anything.

id have thought the victory music from the end of SW would be better!

"Wise Up" by Aimee Mann was my worst wedding soundtrack horror. I don't think most of the guests knew the lyrics, and it's musically appropriate if you don't, but...

Op, you could always have Sweet Transvestite as your first dance. Or Let's Do The Timewarp Again. Real floor fillers!

We will have the time warp at some point but first (and second) dance already picked :)
