    Modern. I am walking down the aisle to ‘Your Hand in Mine’ By explosions in the sky.

    And we are walking back up the aisle to ‘Married Life’ by Michael Giacchino- the song that plays while Elle and Carl grow old together in UP!

    Very traditional! Canon in D for wedding party and parents/grandparents. Here comes the bride for me and dad. And Wedding March for the recessional!

    Smiley laugh Omg thank you that would be SO helpful! Originally we were going with Fawkes the Phoenix's theme from Harry Potter but we still want to look around. Having help would be amazing thank you!

    We also changed our recessional song! FH said we should play the music where Wendy kisses Peter in the 2003 live-action Peter Pan! Smiley heart FH timed it out perfectly of at what point in the song we will kiss Smiley love I just had to share because this was so special to me! Here's the song if you're unfamiliar!

    Peter Pan (Expanded Score) 40. The Hidden Kiss

    Both! The processional was Pachebel's Canon played by our incredibly talented friend on the trumpet. The recessional was Cowboy Take Me Away on cd. I actually chose the song and burned the cd with one of my bridesmaids at 10 pm the night before the wedding and surprised FH. He loved it!

    I also made my own playlist of modern music for when guests were arriving.

    Modern because we have a Live Band for the Ceremony and Reception. Also, we have a ton of singers in the family

    FH will walk down with his mom followed by our wedding party to The Last Starfighter Theme song. I will walk down to Metallicas Nothing Else Matters covered by Apocalyptica, and after the ceremony we will walk together to We Go Together from Grease!

    That's going to be awesome! Are any of your family members singing at all during the wedding?
