I walked down the aisle to "Storybook Love" the theme from Princess Bride, played on the classical guitar. We are both geeks, and it was our way to sneak a little subtle geekiness into the wedding.
I always thought about Pachebel's Canon. But, the music is one of the 2 or 3 things that the FI seems to REALLY want a say in, so i'm letting him pick it all out. He's mentioned an acoustic version of "In My Life" by the Beatles, so maybe that. We'll see
I'm using Pachelbel's Canon as well. Ever since I played it in grade 9 band I knew it was the song that I would walk down the isle to. My FI wants me to use the traditional wedding march, but I've said no as this has been my dream for so many years!
The strings only version of "Tonight Tonight" by The Smashing Pumpkins. My fiancee and I both love grunge rock, so I know he'll recognize it, but people who don't know the song will just hear big angelic violins, so lovely and classy, but still grunge/
Hey you know the original of I believe is a Stevie Wonder song? You've just reminded me of that song which i REALLY love, but we can't play it in church... Now i'm thinking maybe I can talk them into the Art Gunfunkle version it's a little more mellow than Stevie's original
We wanted instrumental music, but nothing too traditional. I got married last weekend and walked down the aisle to "Mothersbaugh's Canon" from the soundtrack to "The Royal Tenenbaums".
We're tossing the idea around of walking to Why Wait, Rascal Flatts .... it would be less of a walk and more of a line dance. LOL .... we're not sure yet. Sure makes us laugh every time we hear it and start imagining what we'd do.
I want to record a piano/violin cover of "Ice Dance" by Danny Elfman for Edward Scissorhands. I think it'll be gorgeous for our "Simply Meant to Be" theme!
Can't get out of the box! But I absolutely love Piano Guys! They have several other wonderful instrumentals that are worth checking out for music ideas.
I've been waiting to walk down the aisle to "The Throne Room" from Star Wars Episode IV since I was a little kid! Can't wait for it to happen this June (And no, not a theme wedding... we just both love Star Wars)
I will be coming in to a string quartet cover of Paramore's "Still Into You", and we will walk out together to the original version. Our first dance will be to Paramore's "The Only Exception."
Re: What song are you walking down the aisle to?
The truth behind a well laced dress
thousand years by Christina Perry.....love that song!!!!
I haven't completely decided yet but I've been in love with this song since I was little. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg1Xvfo-Jq8
It's from the Mask of Zorro. Just a beautiful song. Either that or the love song from The Princess Bride. Yes i'm a movie nut. LOL
