"Ripple" is either going to be for me walking down the aisle, or our first dance- When FI proposed he shared some of his favorite memories of us together, and all those little moments where he thought to himself "I want to spend the rest of my life with this girl." Us dancing to "Ripple" at Gathering of the Vibes over the summer was one of those moments.
I found the footage from the actual concert. We were in the crowd, close to the stage on the right side.
I'm crossing my fingers I'm not jumping the gun (or jinxing myself!) by posting.
We haven't 100% decided on a song, I originally wanted a piano version of the Game of Thrones intro but that was vetoed as being too dramatic for am outdoor wedding.
However, FI and I just watched "The Sign of Three" Sherlock episode and are thinking about having the processional be the waltz Sherlock wrote for Mary and John.
I think it's enough "nerd" for FI and I to have, because it's something we both love, but not over the top nerdy/silly. I want our personalities to be there but not have the ceremony turn into a show or a "statement."
We can't seem to decide on a song for sure. Part of me kind of wants to use part of "Aniron," the theme song for Aragorn and Arwen from Lord of the Rings, because I'm a huge nerd and I think that song is beautiful, but we don't know yet. (We really need to decide soon.) We're also looking into various Vitamin String Quartet songs we might use.
We picked ours this weekend! It's cliche, but we love it. "Marry Me" by Train. I played it for FI this weekend and he said, "That's it. That's the song. I pictured you walking down the aisle toward me while it was playing. I even pictured your dress--your arms were exposed." Lol, I'm not sure why the dress comment, but he loved the song.

Love this song. For the longest time I've pictured us using the Train x Martina McBride version.

We contemplated the Martina McBride version, as well, but there's just something about the tone and pace of the Train version that had me fall in love with using it--even though I adore Martina.
We haven't decided yet, but I keep telling him I'm going to walk down to the Downton Abbey theme. I am partly joking partly serious and I'm not sure if he can tell...after all, I should hate to be predictable
For the wedding party, they will walk to (no lyrics) Thomas Rhett "It goes like this" just because I love the instrumentals. I will walk to John Legend "All of Me"... And per FI's request we will walk out to AC/DC "You Shook Me All Night Long".

What do y'all think?
I say do something nerdy if it suits you both - just make sure it's meaningful to you both and not just nerdy for the sake of it (not just to make a statement, like you said). I think it is so nice when couples add wedding details that reflect who they are and what they enjoy together.
Just make sure it's not "The Rains of Castamere" from Game of Thrones!!!!
Edit: forgot to say I am planning to walk down the aisle to "Bron-yr-aur," a beautiful acoustic instrumental song by Led Zeppelin. Both FI and I have loved this song for the longest time!
I'll be walking down to "Morning Has Broken" (traditional Catholic Mass, so we're not allowed to have any secular music during the ceremony... but I wouldn't have picked anything secular anyhow!).
Holy cow, I can't believe how many people used modern tunes! Totally fine, of course, but I had (incorrectly!) guessed that traditional selections would be the norm.
As of now I had penciled in Trumpet Voluntary, but it feels more like a recessional the more I listen to it. The hunt continues... but I'm leaning towards a classical piece.
Well, I (with FI's approval of course, but he's been fairly indifferent to the music) finally settled on Trumpet voluntary as a Processional for the wedding party, and good ol'cannonfor the entrance of the bride. I know it is probably overdone, but it is really beautiful to me and I think will really create a meaningful atmosphere for the moment I meat my fiance as a single woman for the last time.
I did seriously consider Liebestraumby Franz List -- it is beautiful and has a few "soaring" moments in it, but it also has a touch of melancholy that I'm not sure would be perfectly appropriate.
And I MUST haveSimple Gifts for our interlude... love that song.
WP - loop of Ouverture from Within Temptation's Black Symphony.
I'm walking to Nothing Else Matters, I'm hoping to use the Apocalyptica version, but may be vetoed by their latest album. Our church actually has a very strict policy on using nothing related to Wagner. If can't use Apo, I'll pull the vocals from Metallica's S&M and use that.
Recessional - probably a loop of the end of Swanheart by Nightwish.
All the versions are live, so I'll be taking the crowd noise out.
First dance will be Ohne Dich by Rammstein. Both DF and I are refusing to have a wedding if we can't use Ohne Dich. Do not care how formal we are supposed to be here, the shared love for R+ is how we met, our first actual date was the 2010 MSG concert, we are using the semi tame song.
Last dance is back to Apocalyptica with Farewell.
Yes, we're metal heads. At least we're staying tame vs oh some Children of Bodom.

Our first dance is "It Had to Be You" - Frank Sinatra slow jazz version.
