Geeky Recessional Song help

Sylphier, on March 27, 2017 at 10:14 AM Posted in Planning 0 18

I feel like lately all I'm doing is asking music questions. I'm having a terrible time finding a song for our recessional walk. We're having a geeky wedding with a storybook/literature theme and most of our ceremony music is nerdy. We're using Disney Fairytale Weddings soundtrack for seating the guests, then Dearly Beloved from the Kingdom Hearts video game soundtrack for the groomsmen with them cutting to "hooked on a feeling" by blue swede for FH to walk to, followed by more Disney instrumental music for the bridesmaids and me. So, I really want something that fits with our other music choices for the recessional, but is more upbeat. The closest I found that both FH and I like is the cantina song from star wars, but to me it doesn't "fit" well. Anyone have suggestions? Our dj wants our ceremony music choices sooner rather than later so they can find the exact versions we want.

    By recessional, you mean when you and fh walk back down the aisle after being married, right?

    Our wedding is following the same kind of theme, and we are using the imperial March done by Richard cheese for either our processional or our entrance, haven't decided yet.

    @futurelagrange I was so tempted to use that for our procession for the men but FH really wanted the guardians of the galaxy reference so we did that instead.

    There's always the Star Wars theme (different from the Imperial March) which is upbeat and lively; we used it as our reception entrance song. There's also the theme from Princess Bride (the exact name of it is slipping my mind right now).

    Zaz storybook love from Princess bride? I'm really considering that one but our officiant, who I've known my whole life, had a princess bride theme wedding and used that and since he's officiating ours I iffy on it. Just feels like it might offend. The star wars main theme is one I hadn't thought of! I looked at across the stars but decided it was too soft for what I wanted, but the theme might do the trick! Thanks!

    @disneysweetheart we're using you've got a friend in me for a dance song since I want to dance with my son to it, he loves toy story.

    Never had a friend like me is a cool idea! I have to pass that by FH!

    Good to see a fellow Disney addict around here! Smiley smile

    Do you like Final Fantasy? The song "First Love" by Utada Hikaru is GORGEOUS. I'd go for the instrumental version. I'm not a big FF fan, but I heard that song somewhere (don't even remember where), and I was instantly in love.

    ETA; Sorry, I missed that this is for the recessional. It's slow and melodic. Might not be what you want. But listen anyway, because it's pretty!

    RunawayBride beat me to it, but I was going to suggest looking into the world map themes from the Final Fantasy games.

    It has to be The Throne Room from A New Hope. Epic as shit.

    We're using all the different cantina music for our cocktail hour.

    We're doing Power of Love from Back to the Future haha. we both love the movie and thought it would be fun.

    I was also thinking of the song TimeLadyErika suggested, the throne room song (that is where Han, Luke, and Chewy get their medals right?).

    @TimeLadyErika- We are using The Throne Room for our recessional music! FH is HUGE Star Wars geek so when I suggested we use that he just lit up!
