Alternatives to "Here Comes the Bride"??

HKD817 · October 2010

I'm getting married in 10 days and I can't decide what song to have played when I walk down the aisle. I'm not a fan of the here comes the bride. Can you girls give me some suggestions?

The only other song I've found that I like is Pachabel's Canon.

Have you thought about something that isn't classical? I thought about Louis Armstrong "What a Wonderful World" and my fsil did a song that meant something to them!

Im doing the Glasgow Love Theme by Craig Armstrong. It's BEAUTIFUL and soft, not overused...and for me- Perfect.

This is it...It makes me tear up every time. Ah!

I was supposed to walk down the aisle to the piano version of "1000 Words" from Final Fantasy X-2. The attendants jumped the gun on walking down the aisle, so we walked out to one of the prelude songs, a piano version of "Eyes on Me" from Final Fantasy VIII. Ah well.

EhTb4evr · October 2010

I'm using "something beautiful" by needtobreathe! i love it!

[Deleted User] · October 2010

I'm using "This Is My Beloved" from Kismet.

LoriBee80 · October 2010

From the modern take on Romeo and Juliet, I always loved Desiree's "Kissing You."

I second Vitamin String Quartet.

They have a lot of covers of popular songs but they sound very classy

Ready2BMrsWade · October 2010

Theme from Romeo and Juliet

Claire De Lune

And I might get flamed for this but... there is an awesome (to me) CD of Disney Princess love songs on strings/ guitar. They actually mostly just sound like classical guitar music but if you listen its like..." I know this song!"

Selah-Bless the broken road is a great song. Listen to on google and let me know what you think<img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />

We used La Rejouissance (Music For the Royal Fireworks) - Handel. All of our ceremony music (with videos so you can hear what they sound like) can be found at this link.

asimms12 · October 2010

I 3rd the Vitamin String Quartet

I'm thinking of their version of "Drops of Jupiter"

I will be walking down to "Ribbon in the Sky" by Stevie Wonder. He proposed to me while the band we met dancing to sang it at my birthday party.

That is a really lovely song. Nice choice!

aalbrecht1206 · November 2010

My fiance made the suggestion for me to walk down to "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars.

shanlebret2 · November 2010

You might also try looking into movie soundtracks/scores. Many of them have beautiful songs, such as 'Romantic Flight' from the movie 'How To Train Your Dragon'.

erinmoore4 · November 2010

Depending on how traditional you'd like it... I am walking in to Ave Maria played on piano, no vocals. I've loved since I was a little girl.
