what did you walk down the aisle to?

AmusingBride

I'm thinking we're not going to do the traditional "Here comes the bride" song. I'm a HUGE Dave Matthews Band fan and I'm thinking about "Crash into me" but I'm not sure. Any ideas? I Recently sang "Never felt this day" by Brian McKnight for my sister's wedding.

Oh yeah, HI!! I said some awkward things a few days ago but I wanna play nice, ok? The guy and I have been together almost 2 years, we're grownups and all kinda butt crazy in love (as is expected). We're planning to get married summer of 2012, Not sure of the date yet.

I used a live version of "In My Life" by Dave Matthews Band.  I picked the song first, then found a version I loved.  It just happened to be the DMB one.

We considered that song, because we're both huge DMB fans.  

Instead, I went with a piano version of "Kissing  You" by Des'ree (the love theme from Romeo and Juliet.)  We used the song for the entire wedding party, and I entered about 3 minutes into it right at the big build-up in the song.  Cheesy? yup. But it was perfect for us.

I love Crash Into Me.

I walked down to Calico Skies by Paul McCartney. It will forever and always be my favorite song.

I love that song and I would go with it (Crash Into Me). 

Music was not a consideration for us-we were outside at Red Rock Canyon in Nevada and the only aisle I walked was the very long ramp up to the overlook.

Let my love open the door - Pete Townshend. It was awesome.

I'm going to have my brother sing "Some Enchanted Evening" from South Pacific. It works for us.

You're so funny.

I walked down to "Clair de Lune" by Debussy, in honor of my father. But I almost walked down to  "Crazy B!tch" by Buckcherry, someone hit the wrong button.

I'm going to go with the opposing opinion here and say not to use Crash Into Me.  The song has a vastly different meaning than what you might think... appropriate. 

We're also big DMB fans and are considering I'll Back You Up or Crush.

Down the isle not sure, but I want to do a DMB song called you and me together.... its such a cute song, but we are having a childrens chior sing it with an acustic guitar group of 7 guitars doing their own harmonies with flutes.

Honor Thy Mother by Wayra. It's a Native American song with a lot of flute sounds and some drums. Wayra speaks in the beginning about respecting nature, but we started when it's just instrumentals.

laurenclaire1386

I walked in to Little Martha, by the Allman Brothers. That song is mine and my dad's favorite and it was perfect.

crose29

I am hoping to walk down to Beethoven sonata 8 2nd movement. The church has strict policies but im not budging. Its a weird pick for a wedding but I dont care.

We used an instrumental version of Queen's Somebody to Love (by Vitamin String Quartet). It was awesome!

It's a bit of a joke between us that that's gonna be our first dance. lol

VItamin String Quartet's "Chasing Cars."

Crash Into Me, though beautiful, is a bit sexy for an aisle walk, methinks.
I'll Back You Up or Steady As We Go would be a better DMB song I think.

That said, the BP walked in to an instrumental of Nothing Else Matters, and I walked in to Into My Arms by Nick Cave and the Badseeds

I love the lyrics and have heard two different interpretations of the song. One Dave says it's like some creeper looking throught the window at some chick undressing "Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me" and the oher is that he wrote it for his wife. I'm gonna go with the second :)

laurenclaire1386

"Crash into me" just screams sex to me. Don't get me wrong, I adore the song. Just not for walking down the aisle.

WOW

katiewhompus

Chirp, I thought the same thing but to each their own. It reminds me of the "If I was invisible" song where half the people think it's super sweet and I go "Um, stalker much?"

I walked down to Oh Shenandoah which is a regional song. You had to cross the Shenandoah river to get to the wedding site and it's an incredibly beautiful song, especially when played on the harp.  We also thought this set of lines was touching as H moved from VA to Maine when he thought we wouldn't be together, then back to VA after we started dating.
Oh Shenandoah,I love your daughterAway, you rolling river.For her I'd cross,Your roaming waters.

Sarah, Beatles and I were just talking about this song yesterday-- it was in both of our lists of song choices for the wedding, but didn't make the cut.  LOVE that song, so much.

Yeah, I see that. I'm not really sure how much our grandmother's are going to be listening to the lyrics though or how far into the song it'll get.

Huh?

As one of the resident musicians on this board, I'm confused.

saisongbird

The BP walked in to Winter from the Four Seasons.  Spring is way too overplayed for me.

I walked in to Cantabile by Tartini.

stellaella

As of now, we've decided that the WP will walk down either to the suite in Forest Gump or Somewhere over the rainbow - the Hawaiian version. 

I'm going to be walking down to Canon in D - the non-funeral sounding version.

MissIntentional

I had  no idea there were so many DMB fans on here.
i walked down to vitamin string quartets version of coldplays yellow.
