What was/is your exit song?

liv2tell

We have every song we want to play during the ceremony nailed down...except the exit song!

We want something more upbeat but still romantic, ya know? What did you play (or what are you going to play)? I was thinking "l-o-v-e" by nat king cole but FI thinks it isn't upbeat enough.

suggestions please?

We are having 'Life is good' by Kenny Chesney.

What song are you using for your Bridal Party to walk down to?

FutureMrsSheeler

We are doing Marry Me by Train for our recessional.

Magdala9

Goodnight sweetheart (retro 50s song).   ETA  Oops...that was to exit the reception. 

For our recessional, we used Rainbow Connection played by a solo guitarist.  Our processional was Storybook Love played by the same guitarist.

During the whole processional "Grow Old With Me" sung by Mary Chapin Carpenter will be playing

Such a pretty song!

EmilyJorgenson

"Today" by Smashing Pumpkins  

FutureFroats

I'm also looking up recommendations.  We're young and modern so right now the one we're thinking of is "I Think I Wanna Marry You" by Bruno Mars

We had a church wedding and we were not permitted to use secular music. We used Allegro Maestoso by Handel.

angelchild24

we are using Garth Brooks Wrapped up in you

tpender13

We used U2's "Beautiful Day"

wbinnie04

Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve. Just the music no lyrics.

laurenmount5

We're doing "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz, performed by our string quartet

WaterPig83

We're using the Air Force song, maybe the Army song (he's AF, I'm Army) but that probably wouldn't work for you. Hmm, upbeat and romantic? Maybe Lucky by Jason Mraz/Colbie Callait, "I've Got the World on a String" by Frank Sinatra, my sister recessed to James Brown's "I Feel Good"

That's all I can think of for you. Good luck!

liv2tell

Thanks everyone! I love hearing what you're using. We decided on "How Sweet it is To Be Loved By You"

If you like big band jazz...we're using Tank by The Seatbelts. It's super upbeat, all instrumental.

Lets Get it On, by Marvin Gaye.

Check out Brett Dennen- The One Who Loves You the Most.  It sounds like exactly what you are looking for.  Here is the you tube video of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XwSRzNCYIA&feature=related

<div>I love this!!! </div><div>
</div><div>We are thinking of using "This will be (an everlasting love)" by Natalie Cole. We'll also throw another song in there, maybe like "You've got the best of my love" by the Emotions, just to make sure music is playing the whole time people are leaving the church. (We have gotten the go ahead on secular music from the pastor. Yay!) </div>

arizonatea

We're using Sweet Child O' Mine

JAYECY

We are using " You are the sunshine of my life" - sung by  Aaradhna, an artist out of  New Zealand

dovely

We're using a piano version of "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zekdq55R74&feature=related. It's the only song FI wanted, but I didnt feel the lyrics were 100% appropriate, so it's our compromise.

ellentravis

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" -- the light, upbeat ukulele version by Israel K.:)

frasey

I want to use Magic by JRDN. Its upbeat but not too in-your-face, and the words are amazing!

StephB1185

I'll Be There - Jackson 5, but played on the piano.
