ok i wanted to have canon d play when all the bridal party walks down the aisle
but here is my question
i am getting married in church, and i wanted to have the song
"from this moment" by shania twain play
when i walk threw the doors and down the aisle with my dad.
can you play that in church? is it appropriate?
and if so when would i have the organist stop the song? which part would i have him stop the music,especially to were it doesnt seem so obvious that half a sentence is cut off.
i hope someone out here can help especially to those who heard the song before

i am going to have a cd played "if allowed"
i just was wondering if anyone out here knows if you can use a song to walk down the aisle instead of the classical,wedding march,instrumental, and same old stuff always played at weddings.

I think it could be done, but instead of organ, maybe have someone play it on guitar acoustically. There's probably sheet music.

ask the preacher at the church if they approve of the music. Are you talkin about having hte organist play the music or actually having like a CD or somethin? If the organist, I would say tell him to let you get to the front and settled for a second or 2 and taper it off, if he's anygood, he will figure out a way to make it work. You might want to meet with him a few weeks before the wedding at the church, and actually walk down the aisle while he plays so he can know about how long it will take and where to cut off at. I did this with my organist (I used trumpet voluntary) and it really helped her!

My parents are preachers. I got married at their church and from the begginning my mother told me, it's YOUR wedding! Do it how you want to remember it. I walked into Etta James, At last. Almost every older person in the croud teared up. It was sooo incredibly beautiful. Do the song that you want, because it's YOUR moment and it is going to make the biggest memory for you. The church should NOT have any say in that part of your ceremony. And I love that song too! It is beautiful. The organist would stop playing when the last groomsman and bridesmaid are situated at the front. Good luck and enjoy your special day!

You could get the cd the begining is very good to walk down to. And its not unappropriate but ultimatly its the churches decision. And if you dont want the cd go with the organ and have the organist play the begining of the song. I have the cd from my wedding.

Why not save it for your Father/Daughter dance at the reception? It doesn't seem quite appropriate for walking down the aisle. I am a wedding coordinator and many churches do not allow music like that. You want something upbeat for walking down the aisle...something that draws attention to YOU coming in.

It may not be much help, but have you thought about playing "from this moment" when you go to light the unity candle? Whomever is taking care of the audio at the church should be able to fade out the song to end it. I'm not sure what type of church you are getting married in, but I don't think that song is inappropriate. When my husband and I got married, we played "Keeper of the Stars" while we lit the unity candle and after we lit it, we stood there holding hands, looking at each other, and my husband quietly sang to me.

You can have what you like, unless the church has restrictions. For some denominations it has to be hymns or classical.
