We played Beethoven's "Ode To Joy" at our wedding.

Actually, the bride going down the aisle is traditionally a march, the kind that is at a walking pace. If you want an alternative to the "Here
Comes the Bride" song [actually a Wedding March from an opera by Wagner], there is Jeremiah Clarke's trumpet voluntary [usually played on the organ] called "Prince of Denmark's March." It is tuneful, happy, uplifting, and "grand entrance" in nature. John Stanley also wrote some nice trumpet voluntaries...

My friend used music from a band by the name of Sigur Ros at his wedding recently. The album he used was simply called (). They have a few others also. Its soft music with little singing and all of the words are in Icelandic or a fictitious language called Hopelandic so its sounds very surreal or angelic. You can find their Cd's at just about any Best Buy or other music shops. It might be worth checking out.

Best wishes! I got the O'Neil Brothers CD for our wedding. It sounds so pretty! Most of the songs (all instrumental) are played on the piano. I have attached the site so you can hear their music. What do you think about "What a Wonderful World" (Louis Armstrong) or "Forever in Love" (Kenny G.)? Hope this helps you!

I felt the same way. I did Cannon in Dee. I havent had any bad luck with my marriage. Allthough, some people were dissapointed that I didnt walk down to here comes the bride. One of those people was my Dad. But, I dont regret it, I like to be different, thats why I did it.

The theme from "Titanic" is not old enough to be traditional. For a solemn occasion one should avoid pop culture. Some weddings have used the Trumpet Voluntaire (by either Purcell or Clarke) as a processional.

I'm not familiar with the song you mentioned, and I don't know if you like R&B but Luther Vandross has a wonderful wedding song called "Here and Now". It"s elegant tastful and would difinetly let your husband know that this day signifies fourever. Good Luck!

Ave Maria is pretty.
I chose a celtic song called "Eternity is in This Moment", it was very non-traditional but so am I.
I think "My Heart Will Go On" is pretty but I don't think I would choose that one.
Good luck!

Eva Maria. I always thought that is such a pretty song to walk to, and it's a bit traditional as well. So is Pachelebell, Canon in D.

Brain of J by Pearl Jam, the sweetest wedding song you'll ever hear. Me and my bride waltzed down while it softly played and enthralled our guests, what a wonderful memory
