Songs to walk down the aisle to-Catholic ceremony

I'm having a traditional Catholic ceremony with a mass but I really don't want to walk down the to "Here Comes the Bride". Does anyone know of any good alternatives?

Thank you. I looked but didn't see one.

"Here Comes the Bride" is a secular piece of music and most if not all Catholic Churches will not allow it to be used for this very reason!

You need to chat with your Church's musician/organist for what is/isn't allowed. This can be eye opening AND stressful! We ended up choosing Canon in D for our song to walk in to but there are many other options, Ave Maria being another popular option.. Start with your church's musical director though..

I used "By My Side". It was perfect.

I agree with previous posters. First talk to the musical director, organist, cantor, or whoever will be doing the music. See if they have a list to chose from or preferences.

We also ended up with Canon in D which is very popular, but there are lots of options.

I found searching songs on youtube and listening helped us decide what music we wanted.
