Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music Discussions

Recessional song

I need help finding a recessional song (when me and my fiance are walking out after the ceremony)! We want something upbeat, somewhat current, something we can possibly "bee-bop" down the aisle to. All the songs I've seen are too slow or a little outdated. What did everyone else pick for their recessional?

    Well I meant "be-bop" for lack of saying "dance" down the aisle. Another "our song" song would be too slow. I basically want something really upbeat and fun. I kind of like "Signed, sealed, delivered" but my fiance's not crazy about it.

    I am planning to do the same thing, have an upbeat, non-classical song as the recessional.  Some of the ones I'm thinking about are:
    - Oh Happy Day
    - Walking on Sunshine
    - I Wanna Hold Your Hand
    - I'm a Believer

    We did "Hey Soul Sister" by Train. We didn't want anything too sappy. We wanted something upbeat, fun and romantic at the same time :)

    I'm using "Perfect" by Jon Mclaughlin. I LOVE it. Very upbeat, but not overused... or used at all as far as I know.

    I am using Married life from the UP soundtrack -- though that doesnt help you much

    at least it may have you consider your favorite movies for music

    We just decided on Black Eyed Peas - I Got A Feeling....I've been obsessing over that song for the past few months. I wanted to use it prior to the ceremony but I want to be there to hear and enjoy it (but I don't want to walk down the aisle to it) so he suggested us walking out to it. :)
