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?

In to Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (Bach)

Out to something by Mozart which I am mortified to not remember right now

Got married outdoors
Walked down aisle to Avril 14th by Apgex Twin-gorgeous piano song would make you cry!
Left to Musica Dramatica by Aarf

*Aphex!

I walked in to Chanson De Matins by Elgar. Out to Arrival Of The Queen Of Sheba. Can't remember what we signed the register to.

Don't remember hearing any of it, despite having a string quartet!

Arrival of the Queen of Sheba

Much to my Mum's amusement...

Up the aisle to Charpentier Te Deum

Down to Parrys I was Glad

15 years afterwards william and Kate copied us !

I wish I'd walked down the aisle to Pachelbel's Canon, I thin it's perfect. Did the Queen of Sheba instead though as trade off with DH (he really wanted that, and I really want the really cheesy traditional Wedding March to leave the church on)

A close friend of mine is a composer and wrote something for a chamber choir which I walked down the aisle to (also smug).

I walked out to Joy to the World (we got married just after Christmas).

In:" Morning "from Peer Gynt suite , Grieg, ( my choice) out ( his) something by Elgar ( can't remember precisely, but over 20 years ago); first dance " Night and Day" ( Cole Porter??) Plus best friend singing ( jazz-ish) mates with sax & keyboards, and the funniest speeches ever! ( thanks to DH ,BiL ,and my own DB).

Boccherini, the Passa calle from Musica notturna delle strade di Madrid. Supposed to be for cello but my friend played it on the violin, it was lovely.

What did she decide?

I went in to Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
Signed the register to Pachebel Canon
Out to Charpentier Te Deum

Dire Straits, Romeo and Juliet

o mio babbino caro - always loved it since I saw 'A Room with a View'

Very traditional

Up to The Bridal Chorus (ie here comes the bride)

Down to Widor's Toccata (like Princess Anne!)

Moon River

I'm walking in to Stay with you by John legend, walking out to Cream by Prince (DP vetoed Gett off)

Pachabel Canon in D - walking in
Clair de Lune - register
Rule the World (Take That) walking out

First dance,

We definitely went in to 'When will we be married Molly' by The Waterboys, but played as an instrumental on piano and violin by friends of ours. Can't remember what we walked out to - I think it was a piece composed by one of the musicians (unfortunately not something he'd composed specially for the event). Our first dance was Jimmy Hickey's Waltz, also by The Waterboys, played by a full Irish band. Dh and I went to a special 'wedding dance class' to learn how to waltz!

PS DH is Irish so we felt the Celtic theme was appropriate.

Appropriate this should come up today, as it's my 10th Wedding anniversary!

Walked in to The March of the Prince of Denmark

And out to the Star Wars theme, played on the church organ Took them all a few minutes to recognise it...

I will walk in to Te Deum & we will walk out the The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba.

We're having Nothing Else Matter by Metallica while we sign the register. On a pipe organ

Parry's I was Glad.

Chasing Cars was playing as I pulled up in the golf buggy car and walked down the aisle. Then Annie's Song by John Denver played as we took our vows

In: Morning Mood (for Peer Gynt, Grieg)

Out: The Shire, by Howard Shore (from Lord of the Rigs, but beautiful classical piece)

In to the rejoicing from handels firework music and
out it was Bachs toccata and fugue in
During the signing of the register a good friend of mine did a medley/mash of oh happy day, moving on up and something else I can't remember

The theme tune from Austin Powers on the way up and Summer in the city on the way down. We wed in a helicopter flying over Las Vegas. They weren't our choice but the pilot asked if we wanted music and this just happened to be what came on. :)
