non-traditional ceremony music?

has anyone used any un-traditional ceremony music for the wedding party, bride, and afterwards? and if so, do you mind sharing what the songs were? i'm at a loss for picking what i want and what is appropriate. my fiance and i both know that we don't want the traditional music though. thanks for the help everyone.

  • For our processional(everyone, including me), we had my cousins play "Always With Me, Always With You" on dh's electric guitars. . .It was a song he used to play all the time, and thought it fit perfectly!

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • We're probably not having a WP since our DW will be really small. But I'm serioulsy considering walking down the aisle to "Somebody's Getting Married" from The Muppets Take Manhattan. Nothing about our wedding is traditional and I'm a HUGE Muppets fan.
  • Pre-processional music: String Quartet version of music from "Ocarina of Time:BP processional: Piano rendition of "Melodies of Life" from Final Fantasy IXMy processional: The ACTUAL "Melodies of Life" from the game.Still have not picked a recessional yet ... but I'm pretty sure it's coming from a video game at this point.
