Go slow, in a tempo rhythm. You want your guest to be able to take as much photos of you and your hubby walking up the aisle.

In my wedding, I had some of my favorite slow "love songs" played on the piano as guests were being seated. It worked out great and set the mood as my family and friends walked into the building. As one of your other asnwers posted, most music after the "kiss" and the announcement of Mr. and Mrs. are more upbeat and have a tone of celebration. Could you play your grandmother's song in the middle of the ceremony? Like after a prayer? Your minister can tell your guests "in honor of the groom's Irish heritage, the song (name of song) will be played. (however you and your minister want to word this) You and your groom can look into one another's eyes and even tell each other how much you love the other while the song is played. You both will have great satisfaction that grandma and all of those Irish relatives will be blissfully happy to hear the song played.
Sqeezing a bit of family tradition into your wedding may very well be the "high light" of the wedding ceremony! Tell you minister long in advance so he can plan the words of the ceremony custom to your wants and needs.

Sweetie, you are a sweet girl to do this for your mother in law. It would a nice beginning for a long relationship. I would have the lady sing the song either after the groomsmen are in place. Or you the song sung after you walk the aisle to be with your groom.
It doesn't have to be the song to leave after your the cermoney. My daughter and her husband marched out to Sweet Home Alabama. It's your choice where you have the song, or even if you have it. Are you having dancing at the reception, you could use it then. Honey, it's your special day, and really there are no set rules to follow, it's want you and your husband to be wants.
I do think it's sweet you want to do this for her. I can't remember what the song sounds like, so you may want to hear it before committing yourself to something that you just can't stand.
You just have the most wonderful happiest of weddings!
God bless us all................

Can you use it in the music before the ceremony? Would it be one that you could seat the grandparents and parents to? I really like this idea since it is a tribute to your husband's grandmother. If you can't fit it into the wedding ceremony itself, could you play it during the reception? Just some ideas about how you could fit it in and make your mother-in-law happy.

You're supposed to use The Wedding March recessional at the end of your wedding.
It's a triumphant and a bit faster song, at least in my opinion.
With all due respect to your future MIL, it's YOUR wedding and you don't need to have any music in it that you don't like. Depending on your ceremony, you could alway insert the song before the vows. Speak with your officiant and see what he/she recommends.
Happy marriage.

Since the song is kinda slow, use it for the porcessional (the walk up the aisle). It should be fine once you walk at your own pace. You can use something else for the recessional.

Have this be the song the parents & grandparents are escorted to their seats during. It's too draggy for anything else. You should also have a song for the clergy, groom, men & the attendants to enter during, and then the song for you & your father/escort.
Upon leaving the church, your walk should be brisk, but not running and the music should be in tune with that.

Its supposed to be on the fast side. After the ceremony is over, everyone will be standing up and clapping, until you have exited the hall or room. If you walk slowly, your guests will be standing and clapping forever which will get really tiresome and tedious.

If you are having a whole ceremony, have it played while people are receiving communion. If not have it played as guests are arriving.

You should run up the aisle as fast as you can, find a closet and consummate.
