I need your opinions on the "walking down the aisle song"

Our ceremony is going to be on a pier on the water and I will be walking down a long dock so more than likely I will be walking down the dock to a full 3-4 min. song. I'm trying to decide between "Marry Me" by Train and "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. Opinions please! Thanks!

    I'm truly obsessed with "Marry Me" by Train and I am def walking down the aisle to that! So that's my vote!

    I will be walking down the isle to Marry me as well. Im glad I am hearing other people that are doing this. My mom thinks I am crazy, but I want something different. We have some friends that can sing/play guitar so they are going to sing/play this for us and tweek it a little to fit us.

    I will be walking down the isle to an acoustic versionof I Knew I Loved by Savage Garden.  Of your two choices I would say "Marry Me" but both are going to be really popular this year.  I think "A Thousand Years" sounds like a sad song.

    1,000 years is nearly a full minute longer than Marry Me.  I'd go with the shorter.  4 minutes is already a really long walking song.

       I have a long aisle to walk down also and I'm using A Thousand Years. It was going to be Marry Me, but once I heard A Thousand Years I just had to have it. There is a point towards the end that seems like a clear break if you didn't want the the entire song.

    I agree w. PP about 1000 years being sad.  I do like the "Marry Me" version by Martina mcbride and the lead singer from train.  I plan to incorporate it somewhere in the wedding.

    Just curious, how is "Thousand Years" sad? I'm planning on using it, but mainly just the first 30 seconds (short aisle, haha).

    HAHA! 
    I don't think the song is particularly sad, I just think it "sounds" sad.  The lyrics aren't sad, just the music is somber and the singer sounds like she's about the cry.  I don't know.
