Our wedding is in September in my fiance's grandpa's church. (his grandpa is the preacher) Both of our families are very laid back as well as the pastor. We have decided to not follow most of the churchy traditional ways. We're going to show a short slideshow before the ceremony starts, we arent doing the unity candle but doing the sand, and we are having a bridal party we just arent doing the mothers that are ushered in, and I dont want to walk down to the wedding march. I want some other song / music being played. Im country but my fiance isnt as much as I am and I still want the ceremony to be somewhat churchy but not, if that makes sense. What songs can we play when the bridal party walks in, I walk in, the sand thing is being done, im kinda lost on it. Can I play one song for the bridal party and I to walk into or have two different songs? Any help would be nice.

The only one I can think of right off the top of my head is "Years From Here" by Baker and Myers, a country song from the 90s. Some of the lyrics:
"Years from here, we'll look back and treasure
This moment forever inside our hearts
And from here to there we will make a million memories
That we can share
Years from here"
Another line from the song:
"I know we've just begun
But the best is still yet to come"
It's traditional for the wedding party to walk to one song and the bride to another but it's really your choice. I've been to weddings where only one song has been used for the processional and it was fine, no one commented that it seemed strange.
Good luck!

I can't think of any songs in particular to suggest, but every wedding I have ever been to had the wedding march for the bride only and a different song for the rest of the bridal party.

You could use just musical arrangements. Also go to http://www.fairplaymusicalgifts.com/samples.html and download "Song for The Parents of The Bride" for dear old dad and mom
