Alternatives to "Here comes the bride"

Me and my fiance arent really traditional so walking down the aisle to "here comes the bride" really doesn't sit well with me. Does anyone have any suggestions to an alternative?

    I am walking in to Elvis Presley: Love Me Tender... My best friend walked in to Shania Twain: From This Moment... I love when a bride and groom really personalize their wedding. I wanted my fiance to pick a fun song for him and his groomsmen to walk in to... but he said he'd rather not. So I get to be the fun one at the ceremony lol. They are however going to walk into some songs that are "tribute" songs by Vitamin String Quartet. Their music is a great way to take a rock song, or any song actually, and make it work with the ceremony.

    Strongly considering the acoustic version of "Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts (from the Hanana Montana movie :-P)

    Due to the fact that we are having a simple civil ceremony, no music for us. I am thinking of adding something for when we enter the reception though. Hmm, I need to get in touch with my friend the DJ who is supposed to be burning a disc for me. . . . I really really like Cannon in D - it's actualy my ringer on my phone.

    @ Jennifer B. I really dislike the traditional Bridal Chorus but I really like Jonathan Cain's arrangement and we will be using this. We are having live music and our church pianist said he could play it. Plus Journey is my favorite band is this my way of working Journey into the wedding Smiley smile.
