Ceremony music

mandm111

I need your ceremony music inspirations!
I will be walking to Canon in D, but I'm having a hard time picking my processional and recessional music. So far, we are thinking of Air on the G String by Bach, What a Wonderful World by Starsound Orchestra and Wonderful Tonight by Vitamin String Quartet for our processional. Nothing really stands out to me. Any ideas/suggestions?

My music selections are in my bio but I was definitely pop music.  I walked down to She's Got A Way by Billy Joel and our processional was Your Song by Vitamin String Quartet.  We walked out to Viva Las Vegas which people will say is "overdone."  However, it's only overdone if you read posts on the Las Vegas wedding board on TK.  No one at our wedding had ever been to a wedding using that song before.

All of the songs we chose has meaning to us personally and were songs that we loved, not just songs that "sounded good."  Work with your FI on what songs you guys love.  Instrumentals of your favorites can take the place of a "classic."  Even Don't Stop Believing by Vitamin String Quartet sounds awesome.

I'm walking down to Air from Suite No. 3 by Lumiere String Quartet

I WANT our processional song to be Cinema by Benny Benassi (I KNOW!) but FI thinks it is TOO crazy..I told him we are getting married in Vegas, what ISN'T crazy?! LOL!

It is our song, and we are trying hard to find a slower, more tame version but if not, that's what it will be, the original My fiancee is a DJ, and LOVES electronic music, so it is so fitting.  We will see though!

I had the following songs, all instrumental versions:
Cannon in D
Butterfly Waltz
Here Comes the Sun
Landslide
Can't Help Falling in Love by Jon Schmidt

My BMs walked to Don't Stop Believing, the piano version and I walked to the piano version of Marry Me. When I heard the DSB start as I waited to walk down the aisle it gave goosebumps. We ended it with You Make My Dreams by Hall Oates.

I would like to walk down the aisle to the SW theme and then after FI and I will walk back down to the Indiana Jones theme... not sure if it is set in stone, but I sure would like it

My current music selections are all piano instrumentals of:
Can You Feel the Love tonight - Elton John (Grooms entrance, with minister etc.)
Truly madly Deeply - Savage Garden (Bride's processional)
Open Arms - Journey (during ceremony)
Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis (Recessional and obligatory Elvis song )

We might change the first song to "Somebody's Getting Married" from The Muppets take Manhatten.  I'm not sure I want to pay extra for the song though.  I guess I'll decisde closer to the date and see if we have anything left over in the budget.

Are you using instrumentals or with lyrics?

Vireyda

Pnutbutr - they're all instumentals by a pianist at the chapel.  If I do switch to Somebody's getting Married though, that one would have lyrics.
