So I am absolutely clueless about music for the ceremony. Can someone explain to me how your supposed to pick songs?? I'm assuming one for bridal party to walk down....one for bride me!! to walk down the aisle, and then one once we are married. I do NOT want traditional music.....any suggestions? I was thinking marry me by train when I walk down and I do by young jeezy once we are a married couple Woohoo

Married in Vegas - June 2011
I am not fond of the traditional music myelf, but in our package, apparently traditional music is provided, so I need to call and find out if i CAN bring my own. I don't even know if they're eqipped to handle anything else. Buuuut if I can, I want to walk to Fools Rush In, either Elvis' original, or even Jon Schmidt's piano version which is amaaazing.
Definitely check out VSQ, gorgeous string covers of popular songs.
BP entrance was their version of the Beatles' All You Need is Love
My entrance was their version of U2's All I Want is You
Exited to Elvis' A Little Less Conversation
Guest Seating - All You Need is Love
Bridal Party Processional - In My Life
Bridal Processional - Here, There & Everywhere
Wine Unity Ceremony - Across the Universe
Recessional - You Make My Dreams by Hall & Oats (Totally out of left field, which is what I wanted. Plus the song makes me SO happy
*edited for grammar
Not sure if it's the real title of it, or not, but 'the Feather Theme' from Forrest Gump was our processional (my BM was just standing and waiting for us, she didn't make an entrance), and for our recessional we used the Linus and Lucy song from the Peanuts... it made our guests chuckle, it's a cute song.
We had the option of a 3rd song had we had our candle ceremony, but we declined all of that ... so only the 2 songs were needed.
