Non-traditional entrance songs

Botty, on June 25, 2016 at 4:26 PM Posted in Planning 0 11

So after months and months I finally convinced FH that we should have a song called Navigate the Seas of the Sun by the lead singer of Iron Maiden (link below) as our entrance song. It's a song that he introduced me to and that I immediately connected to as I felt the lyrics really described us in many ways. It's pretty non-traditional in both its sound and the lyrics but we love it and we genuinely didn't find any other song we liked as much. Now that we've decided though I'm a little nervous that maybe it's too strange. Anybody else walking down the aisle to a non-traditional style song?

    All of our special songs are nontraditional. My FH is a pop punk guru so we're really tailoring our songs to our tastes and not traditional wedding music.

    Go for it! Especially since it means so much to you and your FH.

    I'm likely walking in to the Jurassic Park theme which is a little weird but likely our older guests won't recognize it and think it is just pretty instrumental.

    Make it your own moment. I walked down the aisle to Mariah Carey' "Always be my Baby" (instrumental) to honor a memory I had of my late father. At the rehearsal my friends & family were singing the song & it brought me much joy. This is your beautiful day... come down to whatever you want!

    Ours are non traditional! My party is walking down the aisle to the instrumental version of "Flightless Bird American Mouth" and then when I start walking the words will begin. Somewhere in that song is says "now I'm a fat house cat" so I'm making sure I don't take that long walking down the aisle lol!

    Ok you guys are making me feel much much better! The second runner up was the Game of Thrones theme song but it was too short for the amount of time the processional will take Smiley winking

    My dad INSISTED on making a list of songs for their entire wedding day. All traditional songs were thrown out and my dad made an entire list of songs that were okay'd. I'm sure my mom walked down the aisle to a traditional song as the wedding was Catholic, but the rest of the day was super untraditional from what I've heard. Probably the only thing my dad did to plan for the wedding, but it is what he remembers most from their wedding day! (well and everyone having a *bit* too much to drink but all in good fun)
