    It is a lovely piece, but I would use that for the prelude music if you are doing a CD or DJ music source.  The "here comes the bride" song is so common because it has a very pompous, march-like feel to it.  Most people (IMO) expect the music to sort of "announce" that something important is about to happen.  If that's not your taste, there are alternative pieces of music you could choose that still sound as though they are announcing something... think along the lines of the Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Canon in D, Trumpet Tune, Trumpet voluntary (for more traditional titles).  

    In the end, my opinion is just that -- my opinion.  You will want to choose something that fits your taste and preference, and if you're thinking "this song SCREAMS that I'm coming down the aisle," then you've found your song!

    I agree. Walk down the aisle to whatever you want. I am thinking of walking down the aisle to Rainbow Connection.

    I agree, it is a nice piece but somewhat mellow for a bride's processional.  If you have live strings though, it could certainly be arranged to deliver the pomp usually present in a march (such as "Here Comes the Bride").

    Now, I must confess, having never heard of this piece, I hesitated to open this thread.  I was nervous it might be a variation on all the "how should my dog be incorporated ..." posts, but instead along the lines of "How should we involve our birds ..."  ROTF LMAO.
