Songs with the lyrics or Instrumental?

SierraToBeMull, on October 15, 2019 at 12:59 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 16

Hi everyone!

We are set on 2 songs to walk down the aisle but aren’t sure if we should use the instrumental or the regular song with lyrics? Has anyone used the regular song before? And was it weird?

We want Can’t Help Falling in Love –Elvis as the bridal party walks and switch to Speechless –Dan & Shay as I go down (FH request lol)

    I haven't gotten married yet, so I can't speak from experience, but I personally plan on using the instrumental version of whatever song I choose. I actually was thinking of "Can't Help Falling In Love" myself...I love that song! I was just at a wedding a few weeks ago and they used the lyric version of her entrance song, so I don't think it would be weird at all.

    I'm using Can't Help Falling in Love covered by Hailey Reinhardt, with lyrics. Her voice is so soulful in it, and the lyrics, of course, are timeless & beautiful. I couldn't see not having the lyrics during my own walk, because they're so integral to the reason I chose the song in the first place, but I don't know how I'm going to hold myself together! Lol. Tears will flow.

    I think it's a personal choice, but I don't see having the original song with vocals being weird at all.

    We used all of our songs with lyrics. I don’t think it’s weird.

    I did songs that were instrumental so people would still pay attention to the people walk down the aisle instead of the words to the music. Especially for my song because I wanted people to pay more attention to me than the words!

    I’m planning on using the instrumental for both song in my ceremony! For the wedding party, they’re walking down to Take On Me and I am walking down to Intertwined by Dodie.

    I will actually be walking down the aisle to Can't Help Falling in Love and will be using a violin cover. My bridal party will be walking down to A Thousand Years which is a cello and violin cover.

    I'm using an instrumental classic song, Clair de Lune, but that's a surprise for my FH.

    We were thinking of a guitar cover of Queen's Love of my Life for the bridal party and then Can't Help Falling in Love for me and then doing the A*Teens version of the song walking out because it's fun, upbeat, and they used it in Lilo and Stitch.

    I have fallen in love with Speechless

    But I get to love you by Ruelle gave me goosebumps... I think that it might over rule Speechless.
