What music did you arrive into the room you got married in?

[nowwearefour]

Or walk down the aisle or similar to? My friend is getting married in march and is stuck. Mine was pachelbel's cannon. Or anything you would or wish you had arrived to?

No. I got married abroad in an hotel. It never occurred to me to ask for music!

Beach Boys 'I Can Hear Music' it's our favourite song and the lyrics are quite nice. The music alone still brings shivers and almost tears to my eyes.

Beatles 'All You Need is Love' on the way out played by our lovely but slightly drunk organist.

I'm not married yet - date set for May 2013. I want to walk in to Heaven Tonight by Hole, not going to tell anyone except DP, DBro and my bridesmaids :)

My Dh wrote me a piece [smug]

Queen of Sheba in.
I think it was Trumpet Voluntary on the way out followed by Vidor's Toccata. I'm lucky to have an excellent organist in the family!

In - Charpentier's Te Deum

Out - Widor's Toccata

Walked in to an instrumental version of Kissing You (theme from Romeo+Juliet). Wanted Gorecki by Lamb, but got bullied into using some musicians connected to the church who were a bit shit, so went with something I knew they could do rather than have them butcher a gorgeous but v difficult song for my big entrance.

The wedding song from Marriage of Figaro

Can't remember my 3 hymns now.

Got married in a hotel and had Lovely Day by Bill Withers and Sail away by David Grey. My sister had truely, madly deeply by savage garden which I loved.

I had a harpist playing a lovely folksy piece he composed himself. It was lovely . He was one of dh's mates and did it as our wedding present. :)

Lockets, thats really a lovely way to have included your dd, great choice.

We had my cousin playing his Irish tin whistle. Lovely lovely tune called The Butterfly for walk in. Can't remember what he played as we left, too busy grinning!

In to this

Out to

Walked in to an arrangement of Night and Day played by a friend's string quartet. They played When I'm 65 while a signed the register but I can't remember what we walked out to - don't think we specified anything in particular.

Aw Truly Madly Deeply was our first dance.

In to Gabriel's Oboe which is the gorgeous theme from The Mission.

Out to Jerusalem played on the organ.

In to Marvin Gaye 'Ain't no mountain high enough' and out to Elvis - not a church wedding obviously!

I had 'Words' by the doves. The beginning is a nice instrumental. Bit different but people will recognise it cos it's used as background music on telle a fair bit

In: Trumpet Voluntary
Out: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba

It was a church service.

Oh, and we had a friend (prof. opera singer) singing Porgi Amor (sp) while we signed the register.
