UNIQUE CEREMONY MUSIC-Recessional

Hey Everyone, My wedding is this August, and currently I'm working on our music list! I've looked high and low for some untraditional ceremony songs, and I've found some really wonderful suggestions! I think I have most of it figured out... but the recessional has me stuck (and my fiancé has knocked down some of the selections I've liked! I want it to be a really upbeat fun song to lead into the reception! We are having a DJ! Please give me some suggestions!! Here's what I'm thinking so far: Pre ceremony: Vitamin String Quartet, Don't Stop Believing (might need another few selections) Parents/Bridal Party: The Theme to Forrest Gump (fiancés fav. Movie) My walk down the aisle: Vitamin String Quartets, I Can't Help Falling In Love With You Recessional???? HELP! Thanks!

  • We're doing Michael Franti: 'Say hey, I love you'. It's a fun song we both love!

  • We will also have a DJ for the ceremony and the reception will be immediately following in the next room. So we wanted something fun to get the party started. We  are choosing Signed, Sealed, Delived by Stevie Wonder.

  • Happy together! - turtles 
  • We are using I Got You by Thompson Square. It was upbeat and fun and still kinda sweet and romantic.
    You can't argue with the universe..Well, you can, it just doesn't get you anywhere.

  • I'm looking for a song to walk down the aisle with. I want it to be more about mothers and daughters. My mom has done so much to help me with my wedding. She wants to walk me down the aisle with my dad but I would rather it just be me and my dad. any ideas??

  • I just started looking up vitamin string quartet songs and fell in love with coldplays clocks by them.
  • I'm using Ray LaMontagne- You are the Best Thing for our recessional. It's upbeat and soulful.

  • So I have a few other ideas to add for all of you. Not sure we are going to use any of them, because my fiance is still vetoing all my suggestions!!! But here's a few:

    ~Ain't no mountain high enough
    ~Never let you go (from the parent trap soundtrack)
    ~Stuck like glue - Sugarland
    ~Love is a Fairytale -Taylor Swift

    Thanks for all the suggestions! If I come up with anything else I'll be sure to post!!
