Song for walking down the aisle

Melissa, on June 30, 2015 at 1:52 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 23

I need some advice... I really love the song "I choose you" by Sara bareilles (the slow version) and I would love to walk down the aisle to it. My fiancé thinks I should walk down to something a little more traditional. We are having our ceremony and reception out doors and most of our wedding is very untraditional (bohemian-rustic). Is anyone else walking down to a non traditional song? Should I walk down to something more traditional?

    Yep! I'm doing a violin/guitar duo of "can't take my eyes off of you" by frankie valli.

    Eta: that's a surprise for my FH though. I doubt he will notice in the moment but I will! I think I choose you would be pretty. I like using songs that mean something vs. the traditional choices.

    There was not a single traditional song in our ceremony. I walked down to Hey, Soul Sister by Train. Even my grandmother didn't mind. Ha!

    I'm walking down to "I don't dance" by Lee Brice. We're not having a single traditional song at all, it's just not our style.

    I'm walking down to a piano version of Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out loud". None of our songs are traditional.

    Maybe compromise with a combination? our bridal party processional music and the recessional music will be classical/traditional...Wedding March, etc. However I will be walking down the aisle to a non-traditional song that my FH and I both love. I've found we have planned alot of our day that way...a combo of traditional and non-traditional elements.

    We are playing "Home" covered by the Piano Guys, so it's instrumental of the Phillip Phillips song. I think maybe if you find an instrumental version of the song you want, it might play to your FH's desire for more traditional, without scrapping the whole idea?
