What song are you walking down the aisle to?

I do not want to walk down teh aisle to "Here Comes the Bride." This is a Jewish WEdding, so I will be wlaking down with my parents. Any ideas of something else that is nice?

    "Butterfly Waltz" by Brian Crain.  I absolutely love it.  I was told long after I chose it that it's the song that Bella walks down the aisle to in Twilight, which could be a major plus or minus for you (for me, it would be a minus, except I figure the only people who would recognize it are Twihards, and they'd like it.  Anyone else won't make the association).  But it's an absolutely GORGEOUS song - I like it with piano and violin.  A good friend of mine will be playing violin to accompany the piano recording.

    Thanks Ladies! I just decided I am going to walk to "Sunrise, Sunset" (which was supposed to be my father/daughter dance). I am going to do the father daughter dance to Daughters by John Mayer instead (this was all a compromise with my mom. Now I need something for the girls to walk down teh aisle too, but I have to thank you- I LOVE the Vitamin String Quartet and I am guessiing I can find something they do.

    The song Bella walks down to in Twilight is called Turning Page by Sleeping at last.  I walked down to the instrumental of it (I had a violinist & 2 guitarists play it for us on the beach) gorgeous song.. i'd say that about any song with violin in it though.  But Youtube the insturmental, its amazing.

    The Piano Guys "1000 Years" cover (cello and piano) - it's such a great song, and I prefer instrumental over words for this part (we'll have words for the recessional - the Somewhere over the rainbow/What a wonderful world song)

    That actually makes me happy.  I wasn't thriled about it, as I was afraid someone would think I was a Twilight fan and did it because of that.

    I'm using "truly Madly Deeply" by Ray Lamontagne. It's magical...

    We actually won't have any music. 

    FI and I will do a first look, then we will walk into the ceremony area (outdoors) arm in arm.  It's a Swedish custom.  We only have two witnesses and I didn't feel like hiring a musician for 3 songs total.

    George Strait- I cross my heart.

    H and I are huge country fans and I'm SO glad I chose this song. It's very meaningful

    (I actually wanted pretty woman, but he refused)
