Can you reassure me?

So I played my processional songs for my parents the other day and I cannot get their reaction out of my head.

This will be the song that my bridesmaids will be walking down the aisle to this song (clicky) and my father will escort me down the aisle to this song (click).

I am of course very happy with my decisions and think they are beautiful songs. My dad said, " you aren't going to do the wedding march?" and my mom said "how are the girls going to walk to that song". They didn't have anything good to say about my choices.

So opinions please: Am I crazy for choosing these songs or should I stick to my guns and disregard what my parents think?

I'm walking down the aisle to the exact song with my dad

My FI and I are music lovers, so we felt that the music for our ceremony was the most personal part of the whole thing. I have yet to show anyone else what we are playing as I feel it's none of their business. I love the songs we have chosen and they make our ceremony feel complete to me and FI, and I feel that is all that matters.

I agree! Chose whatevever you want. My step grandpa is marrying us, so he just asked to know the whole flow and everything. He didn't seem to care either way.

Your BMs would be able to walk to anything. Don't worry about that. Music is the most personal part of it!

Go for it!! I'm not walking to the bridal march, either! I told my roommate last night and he about had a heart attack!! lol.

The wedding day is about you and your FI, not your parents. If those songs mean something to you, play them.

Your songs are great! We are also not doing any traditional wedding music during the ceremony, I definitely think its a personal decision and go with want you want.

Do what you want! I am also using 2 somewhat "non-traditional" songs for my processional, and when I let my parents listen to them, they thought I was crazy. I really don't care. I know they're beautiful, and they really speak to who FI and I are. My songs are "The Greatest Sum" by The Avett Brothers, and "Use Somebody" by Laura Jansen.

Thanks girls! I will keep my original songs because I love them and think they are beautiful:)

While they're not songs I would personally choose, they go together well and all that matters it that you are happy.

I'm not walking down the aisle to the bridal march either. I'm using Claire de Lune by Debussy.

Lovely choices. Stick to your guns!

Beautiful arrangements of two "classic" rock songs. If those are the songs you want, then use those.

I don't see anything wrong with them. I'm not walking down the aisle to the Wedding March either. My mom "gave" my brother and me a song years ago and that's what I'm using. It's Find Your Wings by Mark Harris. My piano player will just play the music for it so most people won't even know what it is, but the music is beautiful and it means a lot.
