So here I am posting again and definitely won’t be the last lol

im having the hardest time finding a grand entrance song that isn’t a dance or fast pace song.
All the slower songs I’ve found are boring and too slow . We don’t want nothing crazy as we literally just want to walk in , plus I hate attention so I definitely don’t want too much attention as a “wild” song would bring expecting me to dance or something lol

mind you we don’t have groomsmen or bridesmaids as it will only be us .

As for first dance , I was thinking to do it after dinner with the rest of our dances and then it can just lead into everyone dance for the night ?

But I’m also stuck between doing it after our grand entrance since everyone’s attention will already be on us ?
I’m stuck on choosing when 😩

Could you just play your first dance song as you enter and go right to dancing before you sit down and eat? I have seen that done before and it goes fairly smoothly. Then you don't have to get up and be the center of attention again if you don't want to, and the first dance is over. No rush to eat or anything.
I like "For Once in my Life" by Stevie Wonder. We walked out to "My Best Friend" by Queen.

Hi Victoria! Love HayMrsO's idea of using the same song so it's easy to transition into the first dance! A couple of songs I'm thinking of off the top of my head that could be cute are:
Marry You by Bruno Mars
Home by Edward Sharpe
Rhythm of Love by Plain White T's

We did PP’s suggestion— we didn’t want to go crazy for the entrance, merely be introduced, and then go straight into our first dance. I had the DJ make a loop of the instrumental introduction part of our first song, and he played that under the names he announced (parents, bridal party, and then the new mr&mrs), and then roll right into the full version as we made our way onto the dance floor. It worked out perfectly!
