Ceremony Music

Still having trouble picking out a recessional song.  I'm doing Prelude in C by Bach for the parents processional and Canon in D for the bridesmaid and my processional.  The recessional is the problem I'm having, though.  I want it to be something fun but FI hates everything we've listened to so far.  No Beatles(his request).  It's funny, all of the major stuff was really easy to decide on but something like this...ugh.

We also figured out we won't be able to take dance lessons before the wedding so high school prom style it is, woohoo!  Now we have to pick a first dance song.  We have a whole CD full of them and can't seem to pick one.  I'm not a huge fan of the first dance but I wanted to do something choreographed to make it less awkward but that's not going to happen with his schedule being what it is.

I told FI to pick both songs and run it by me and I'd probably agree, haha.  I'm just done with the music aspect.  We'll see what he comes up with if he even gets around to it :-P

    I'd try and find an oldies song that is nice and short for your first dance- that way you don't have to be up there dancing too long if you aren't a huge fan of it!

    Our recessional song is somewhere over the rainbow re-done by "the Piano guys".They are amazing, and re-do a lot of songs with a piano and cello. I am actually going to be walking down the aisle to "A thousand years" Christina Perri but re done by "the piano guys".

    The bridal party including FIs dad who will be walking with FIs aunt will be walking to the piano version of "You and Me"

    I got a lot of our prelude music along with processional song from this site: http://weddingmusicproject.bandcamp.com/album/processionals-for-brides-bridesmaids

    I think that we are odd because our processional is going to be an acoustic version of "I wanna grow old with you" by Adam Sandler. My bridal march is going to be a song that the FI bff wrote it is called "Safe With Me."

    I noticed that you had a Jason Mraz quote in your signature.  He has some really amazing songs that I think would be fantastic choice for a wedding!

    Yea, we'll probably end up doing that song for the first dance.  Yesterday, FI and I sorta kinda picked the Pirates of the Carribean theme song(NOT the yo-ho, yo-ho a pirate's life for me hahaha).  The more epic-sounding one.  I emailed the musicians to see if they could do it...no response.  Ughhh...

    My trumpet player FINALLY agreed to just play what we wanted, the theme song to Pirates of the Carribean.  Quirky I know but we have a travel-themed wedding and I'm a sailor ;-)  We're stoked that's finally checked off the list!
