    Cancel, I'm walking down the aisle to something completely different. I hate sticking to traditional bride/wedding stuff.

    Cancel, we’re doing a modern song that’s meaningful to us for our processional and I think people will like it more than the traditional songs.

    Cancel! Pick a song that resonates with you personally (unless it's that one lol)

    Cancel I’m in love with the instrumental version of “fools rush in” so I’m 99.9% sure that’s what we will use.

    Cancel. It's just too cliché. Everyone knows you're coming down the isle. They don't need the song to make that known. Make it personal.

    Cancel. We are using Sleeping at Last by Turning Page. It is really more me, and the groom doesn't get a say in my entrance song! He has picked out 75% of the wedding so I'm getting my song!

    This one is definitely a big CANCEL! As much as I dreamed of my day growing up and that being played as I walked toward the man of my dreams, now that I'm older, there's just no need for it. We are having the instrumental version of Perfect by Ed Sheeran as I walk down the isle and I couldn't be more excited!

    Cancel it, its too old-school. No one plays that anymore and its too boring (in my opinion). Use something that'll stand out more and make you happy to hear as you're walking down the aisle

    We are having an outdoor wedding so I prefer to hear the silence of nature instead of music.
