Wedding Vows & Ceremony Discussions

What's your exit song (from the ceremony)?

Did you want something sweet/sentimental or fun and quirky? 

I'm sort of at a loss.  The song I want is fun and upbeat and he hates it :o

Re: What's your exit song (from the ceremony)?

  • We went for fun and quirky - especially since the cocktail hour started right after the ceremony (all in the same location).  We used "If I Could Give You More" by Harry Connick Jr.

  • We had a flute and harp duet, I wanted something upbeat and light.  We chose Antonio's Vivaldi's "Winter" movement 2 from his "Four Seasons".

  • Our string quartet played Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust." 

    H picked it.

    I would have gone with Mendelssohn's "Wedding March."

    If I asked my husband he would have just looked at me and say "what in the hell do I care?" lol.  Although I do agree that every bride should talk with their FI about details, some, like my DH don't want a single thing to do with wedding details.

  • He was adamant about the first dance and knowing what it meant to him I didn't even consider anything else (This Kind of Love by Sister Hazel). We agreed on what the WP will enter to (Kisses and Cake from the PS I love you soundtrack). I'm walking down the aisle to an instrumental version of Grow Old With You from The Wedding Singer. What I'm getting at is that I'm not making decisions without his input :-) I want Forever by Chris Brown or Signed Sealed Delivered by Stevie Wonder. The only song he likes for that purpose is I Do by Colbie Callait....which is cute but I think it'll be popular. I wanted to be a little bit different.

  • The Turtles - Happy Together

    We wrote out the lyrics in our program and had the pastor invite the guests to sing along.  It was a lot of fun.  We had sung a few hymns ealier in the ceremony so people were already in a singing mood.
  • We had an organist and did Mendelssohn's "Wedding March."
    Anniversary
  • We are going super unique...Bad Company "Feel Like Making Love"
  • I went traditional with Beethoven's 9'th (Ode to Joy) :)

  • We used "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"  Our guests all sang along and we exited under an arch of bats held by our wedding party.
  • I have picked Everything by Michael Buble. I figure it is fun and upbeat which is what I am going for.

  • We've been trying to find rock ideas for our recessional. Right now we're considering "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles and "Maybe I'm Amazed" as covered by James Durbin.
  • My husband chose the song from Pirates of the Caribean

    Haha, that's our song.

    And Tiffannie: Winter is the best movement!

    And NEY, but if I had to make a choice right now, I'd open with the first part of The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra and exit to the finale.

  • What about "Then He Kissed Me" ...we're thinking of that :)
  • VSQ's version of Run LIke Hell by Pink Floyd.  He is a big Floyd fan. 
  • Well my FI loves Starwars so I let him have this one; it will be the throne room theme. It actually sounds like a processional song so I'm ok w. it :)

  • "For All the Saints"
  • Were doing Hall & Oates "You make my dreams come true" my FI and a couple of his grooms men are big fans - haha

  • We used Good Day Sunshine by The Beatles
    Anniversary
  • Hey Soul sister by train... or Starlight by Muse. Still torn. :)
  • Home by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes - FI says its his song for us - but its too fast of a song to have our first dance song too, so were leaving the ceremony to it :)
  • my FI is super traditional and probably wont let me do All you Need is Love... but i think my organist [ also my bff ] can take something classical and interlude a bit of beatles into it for me without it being obvious...and then we are both happy...
    Love is All You Need
  • I was thinking the instrumental of "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay. We are going to have a string quartet and I think it would sound pretty

  • We went traditional with The Wedding March. 

    My brother & SIL exited to the Alabama Fight Song, complete with brother & all male attendants donning houndstooth hats ala Bear Bryant.  My brother was shocked!

    A friiend & her DH exited to "At Last".  They were in their late 20's/early 30's & had given up on finding love.
