Walking down the isle song
Is anyone not walking down the isle to the traditional "here comes the bride...."? If so, what song are you walking down the isle to? I'm walking down to Everytime I close my eyes by Baby Face and Mariah Carey.

Re: Walking down the isle song
I'm using Debussy's Claire de Lune.
Played by one of my Uncles and one of My FI's

The song comes from an opera by Wagner. (Not that the marriage the song precedes is very happy.)
[QUOTE]I love Canon in D. If we have music we were thinking of walking down the aisle to <strong>Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole</strong>.

This is what I'm going to do. That song has been significant to me for many years. It is my favorite song ever.

[QUOTE]I am walking to <strong>Storybook love from the Princess Bride, the instrumental version.</strong> I was thinking Marry Me by Train for when the parents and MOH walk, then the recessional song might be Blake Shelton's Nobody but me.

Love it. My sister has been vowing for years that she's going to walk to that when she gets married. I tear up just thinking about it.
I'm walking to a section of this, but I haven't quite decided which one yet:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jJnyyta07k" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jJnyyta07k</a>
Most likely either the bit starting at about 5:30 or the bit starting at about 7:20.
[QUOTE]My bridesmaids and I are walking down to "A Thousand Years" by Christian Perri. Absolutely love that song. It's very untraditional and I love that!

</div><div>I love that song! We are having a harp/violin duet play for our ceremony, and the bridal party will be walking down to an instrumental version of that, and then they will segue to Canon in D for my walk. I adore that piece, and I get teary eyed whenever I hear it. Packing the waterproof mascara!

It was originally written and played when pregnant prostitutes entered bars/brothels. Classy, eh?
Here is a link to the music on youtube:

Before I heard this piece, I wanted to walk to "Falling In Love In a Coffee Shop" by Landon Pigg, or "Best Friend" by Queen.

The BM and processional will be Air on the G (arranged for strings)
I'll be walking down to Can't Help Falling in Love with You (again, arranged for strings)
I get teary just thinking about it. Ugh, hormones and lack of sleep!

That's a BEAUTIFUL choice! I love that piece. My fiance wants Pachabel's Canon in D, but to me it's so over-played I can't stand it. I also don't like the bridal march, or a lot of the more traditional music used, even though we are a traditional couple. I've kinda got this fantasy of having everyone walk down the aisle to Ravel's Bolero, but probably not gonna happen. We both love Tchaikovsky, so I think we'll probably go with the Coronation March for the recessional, but I'm really liking Chopin's Autumn Rain for the processional.
