We are probably using our own ipod for our ceremony music.  I need a some to walk down the aisle to and a song for our bridal party GM and BM to walk down to.  I have 7BM's and 8 GM....they will walk down in couples.....but I just don't know how long that will take either (just one song?) 
I need some song suggestions!  I don't care if it's traditional or non traditional even modern.....we aren't getting married in a church so there are no stipulations.......thanks for you help and suggestions!
Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    I got married at the Conservatory by my childhood pastor so their "church" rules applied to our ceremony... all classical.  I had a very small bridal party so we ended up just having one processional song and one recessional song.  If I had tried to get a different song for "seating of the parents" and "bridal party processional" it would have been like 2 measures of each!  Went with  Schubert's Ave Maria in honor of my dad's parents who had it as their processional and then used Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring as our recessional in honor of my Mom's parents who used it as their processional when they got married.

    We were originally going to use 'Water from the Same Source' by the Rachel's for our processional  it is instrumental but not traditional 6:18 minutes long which we figured would work for our 7 person wedding party and possibly me but our church is pretty strict on the music so we are going to go with Ave Maria or if they let us Clair de Lune. I'm actually still bummed we can't use it - the build up is amazing.

    We're going to do a piano instrumental of The Cure Just Like Heaven when I come in. He had that as his ring tone for when I called before he finally told me he loved me. I think we may play a piano version of the Pretenders I'll Stand By You during the unity candle part. I had that playing when I told him I loved him for the first time. We're tyring to find an instrumental version of Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle for when the mom's walk in and light the candles. That song is actually written for his son so it's a parent child song that my FI has always loved. We haven't figured out what we want for the BMs and GM and FGs and RB. Is this too many songs? We haven't had our final meeting with our miinister yet so we'll see what he thinks.

    Very non-traditional here... Bridal party is Jack Johnson-Better together and I am walking down to Billy Joel-She's got a way.
