99 Problems but the Recessional Song Isn't One

firstoneat56, on August 1, 2017 at 9:30 AM Posted in Planning 0 17

For those of you who thought I may have lost my damn mind with the Jay-Z Recessional song suggestion, rest assured as we are using "For Once In My Life" by Stevie Wonder. (FH was suggesting 99 Problems as a joke.) He did get a big kick out of all your comments and I love you all for them! I must report that we told our DJ about it last night and his response was about 3 minutes of solid laughing.

This got me wondering - has anyone heard any "out of the ordinary" processional/recessional songs or is anyone planning something that may raise some eyebrows or is hilarious?

    FH wants us to do the StarLord dance from Guardians of the Galaxy during the recessional. To Come and Get Your Love, like in the movie.

    I am considering how much I love him. It's a fair amount, but...

    Oh Delfina - I looooove that!!! Such a great song. But I'm having FH and wedding party walk down the aisle to "Take A Chance On Me" by ABBA... (This was FH's idea and I loved it.)

    I would absolutely still use the 99 Problems song because it would be hilarious and memorable. I've strongly considered using "F**kin Problems" by A$AP Rocky, kid you not.

    I'm not sure how out of the ordinary it was, but we used At All by Kaytranada for our recessional. It's an electronic dance song.

    I'm walking down the aisle to Teenage Dream. The acoustic/piano one by Darren Criss from Glee. Not sure if it'll raise eyebrows but it will I think be different from what most are used to hearing!

    @Sarah - someone is doing "Never Gonna Give You Up" at our Lip Sync Battle.

    @ catlady5x - I love that song, playing during dinner.

    When I worked at a bridal salon I sold a gown to an exotic dancer who was marrying a bouncer at the club she danced at. She walked down the aisle to Another One Bites The Dust!

    We're doing Never Gonna Give You Up, too. I guess it's not as original as I thought!

    We were considering using "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen as the reception entrance song. As of right now, we're using "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen instead, but there's still time to change our minds.

    We are using Another Bites the Dust after we get married and walk back down the aisle. He let me pick the song that we walk down the aisle to get married so I let him pick one for us walking out and that's what he wanted lol

    Im struggling with this choice. My sister just got married this past June. Theirs was "I believe in a thing called love" by The Darkness... and the jealousy runs deep. It was hysterical and the FUNNEST song to walk back down to with her other bridal party members.

    How to top it, how to top it...
