Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music Discussions

Recessional Song-What are you Using?

I have almost all of our songs picked out for the ceremony but cant seem to come up with anything for the Recessional. What are you using or what ideas do you have? Thanks!

    My FI had his heart set on the Mendelssohn Wedding March.  Oh well, we're traditional.  :-) 

    Depends on your taste as far as suggestions go.  Can you tell us what songs you're using in the rest of your ceremony?  I might be able to tailor my answer to fit your wedding music style or genre better. 
    July 16, Our Wedding Day, is also International Juggling Day!

    Well i am still not 100% certain on all the songs but these are the ones we have picked for now or the ideas we have at least....
    Processional:
    ·         Parents/Grandparents: Expression – Helen Jane Long (Piano Version)
    ·        Processional (Wedding party) Piano Version: Free Zac Brown Band
    ·         OR Piano Version: God Bless the Broken Road – Rascall Flatts
    ·        OR  Love Story Meets Viva La Vida – Jon Schmidt
    Bride:
    ·        Yellowcard Three Flights up

    So not too much on the traditional side but im just stuck on what type of song to use...thanks for the help!

    My FI and I are using a song called "Built to Last" by Melee. I studied abroad in London and he "dedicated" it to me while I was there, so it was special for us, but also appropriate for after we've just gotten married!

    I'm doing Weezer- Island in the Sun. It's fitting because we live in a beach town and it's one of my FH's favorite songs.  It just has a happy beat. 

    I was in a wedding where we walked out to Oh Happy Day.  Everyone started laughing because it was so cute!

    We are using "Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire" by David Foster. I LOVE this song, and it feels inspirational for the end of the ceremony.

    What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong is a popular choice!

    We're thinking about either Poprocks and Coke by Green Day or Extraordinary by Better than Ezra.

    We are using Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" to leave to. 

    The song has special meaning to me as it was the only song my parents could play to get me to stop crying as a cholicy baby. 

    It has always calmed me (yes, it's true- probably because of the heart-beat like beat).
