    I will definitely say good bye to that and do something different.

    Cancel for sure. Never wanted to hear this walking down the aisle. Everyone will know when I'm coming. Haha

    Cancel without a doubt. I want a song that means something to me, and is heartfelt rather than formal.

    Cancel please! It’s traditional. An although there’s nothing wrong with tradition, I would rather have my own choice of songs to play that will be significant to us.

    Cancel. I am going to have something played on the keys. Thinking of "This is why I love you" by Major.

    Yeah, cancel. I never liked it to start with. I’ll be waking down to Once Upon A Time. From The princess bride.

    Say goodbye! It's way too overused and to traditional

    Cancel. I'll be walking to the song FH sent me when he said yes to my proposal. It's a rock song, but it has a beautiful instrumental intro to it.

    Didn't see this thread earlier, but definitely cancel. Who would want to play music written by a raging racist and anti-semite? Most rabbis refuse to officiate weddings where this song is played due to the dark and troubled history. The song may have been acceptable to play at non-Jewish weddings back in the day (for people who were unaware of the issues) but not anymore. My grandparents would have rolled over in their graves had I played "Here comes the bride" at my wedding!
