Is there a such thing as being an "attention whore".... at YOUR wedding??

No, do it. I think its beautiful and meaningful for you to sing your joy as you walk down the aisle. I recently saw a link in a thread about DJs where a couple sang to eachother instead of doing a first dance. I love the idea Dionna, and if your FH likes it too, go for it. Everyone will be staring at you and oohin and ahhhing at that moment anyway, might as well give em more too oooh at and make it more memorable.

I agree, do it!

I certainly don't think that makes you an attention whore. All the attention will be on you anyhow! lol

However, I think you WILL be very emotional and probably nervous (see also: crying) which may make it very hard to sing. I would have someone else sing it for you as you walk.

BUT, that doesn't mean that you can't sing elsewhere in the ceremony, or even the reception.

I don't think so, that's a horrible way to describe a bride, even if one lives attention, truth is there's no need to even try getting it on the wedding day because all the attentions are on THE BRIDE that, not even so much on the groom.

I love your idea by the way, I'd suggest if you're gonna do it, do it as a surprise don't let your FH know, I've seen a bride did it on four wedding, the groom was absolutely blown away when he heard her voice singing as she walked down the aisle. She actually wrote the song herself, it was very touching, inspiring and intimate. I wish I could do something like that, but I can only sing in my private recording studio aka the shower. Go for it dear, don't listen to them and keep this to yourself.

Attention whore? Nonsense. You are the bride. I'm sure FH would love for you to serenade him. However, I agree with Analy regarding crying.

I agree... being emotional is the reason I said it was a spur of the moment idea that I later realized might not be the BEST idea. I had already planned to sing at reception. I just thought it would be cute I just don't think I could pull it off lol and the attention whore thing I was wondering if I was just pure crazy to think it was impossible LOL you're the bride.... its already all on u!

It's still can be done if you want, you can record it instead of singing live

It WOULD be realy cool if you could pull it off! Do you think you could? I was just thinking about myself walking...it was the only time the whole day I cried.

Another aside though...you booked a church right? Make sure you ask if they allow secular music to be sung. Lots of places allow only religious songs or hymns.

They don't really care what music long as its not... NWA or something of the sort lol! Its a universalist church. I THINK I could do it, BUT no telling that day & the thought of not being sure leading up to it will make me that much more anxious lol I think I will record it & do my live performance for the reception! Anyone interested in hearing my singing voice check it out on my wedding website.... mywedding.com/4become1 its a song I wrote for my honey! :-)

That's gonna be so special. You have to post it for us when you record it!

I HAVE AN IDEA!!!!

why not record the song and have it played as you walk down the aisle? As Analy mentioned you may be overcome with emotion and not be able to do so. You can always lip sync!

I will be so excited to share it with you all! New thing on my list of things to do lol

I agree... try to record it and have it play when you walk down the aisle. You will be so emotional walking down, I don't think you will get the words out right. It would be VERY cool if you were the voice on the track. Not attention whore at all

I'd agree, a middle ground would be to record yourself singing it. It'll still be great, and you won't have to stress too much about singing perfect and walking to your husband!

Wow! You have a very pretty voice, I say go for it! (If you don't cry) he woulde be so touched!

That would be so unique and your guests would really enjoy it!

I agree...RECORD IT!!!! I would be too busy trying to not trip over my dress and cry all at the same time!! LOL!! There would be an accident if I tried to do this and walk down the aisle!! LOL!!

Love the idea of recording the song. You could even make it a wedding day gift to FS - after the ceremony, give him the CD in a beautiful box or wrapper, with a handwritten love note. So romantic!

It is your wedding. You and your FH should be the center of attention. I love the idea. FH wants to sing to me at our wedding.

No you are not an attention whore...but I agree with PP that you may be emotional and not able to get throught the song.

I am in a similar situation and will be recording the song "Daddy" with my sister playing guitar and me singing. This is what I will walk down the isle to.

I really wanted to sing at my wedding too, but I am super emotional so this way you get to still have your own personal touch without fear of having to stop half way through with tears.

But you are definitely not an AW... you have a gift and you should definitely share it!
