Ceremony Music Timing Help during Processional!

My plan is that the parents will walk down first (which is 3 sets of parents) Then the attendants will walk down (2 Maids of honors will walk by themselves and the rest will walk down with groomsmen, which is 3 sets as well). The aisle is pretty long and the bridesmaids will be coming from a stairs on the side of the country club and meeting the groomsmen right before the aisle. I was wondering if I should pick separate songs for the parents to walk down to? Or could I fit it into 1 song? (The plan was for everyone to walk down to Vitamin String Quartet's "Wonderful Tonight" which is 3 minutes and 17 seconds long.)

Thanks!

    Depending on your musician, you could probably have them loop back around to the beginning of the song if you wanted, and they could keep repeating until everyone has made it down the aisle.  Most professional musicians, can find a way to end the song even if the're smack in the middle, so they probably won't even have to play all the way to the end of the song again once everyone has made it down the aisle.  I also don't think there's anything wrong with picking a separate song for the parents to process to. I'm doing that for my wedding, and I think that'll work just fine. So, either way can work for you!
