Processional Music... Thoughts?

Hi all!

I am working on finalizing my ceremony music plans.... I know I will be walking down the aisle to the traditional Packelbel Canon in D, and we will be leaving to "Love Theme" from St. Elmo's Fire....

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what to play for my wedding party's entrance... I guess we have a combo of the traditional and contemporary going on with my selections as-is, so that doesn't matter too much... I want something beautiful, but not overused....I think me and my youtube will be playing together for a long time tonight...

*sigh*

    Thats so funny.... I used the St Elmo's Love Theme for my birdal party enterance! =)
    Then I used just the music from 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift for our recessional.

    As for a suggestion for you to use, what about some other musical theme? Both 'Forest Gump' and 'My Girl' have amazing beautiful theme music!

    My Girl!
    That's brilliant!!!

    I have to listen to it as I don't remember exaactly how it went, but I remember thinking that it looked beautiful.

    I LOVE the St. Elmo's Fire theme. It's not typical wedding music, I guess, but I'm glad to know someone else used it too!

    Our WP will probably walk into Daft Punk - One More Time. It's not a beautiful song or anything but I like it.
