Walking down the aisle: Processional songs

I'm having a happily ever after theme/ Disney I am walking to a cello version of beauty and the beast

I wish I had videos for you! My bridal party processional, bride processional, and recessional will all be songs with lyrics. I went back and forth a lot on the decision, but music is so important to me and I just find the instrumental versions to be less powerful.

Someone suggested to me that the wedding scene in Crazy Rich Asians has lyrics as she walks down the aisle because I had a similar question and I watched and it was BEAUTIFUL!

View Quoted Comment It sure does! I just watched this the other day lol. Awesome wedding scene!

I had lyrics playing in my processional song and I definitely didn’t sing lol. I unfortunately don’t have a video yet but hopefully I will soon

I found a beautiful instrumental version of a popular song that I’m going to use as my professional

I'll be doing classical, but it won't be the wedding march.

I used a song with lyrics. Sleeping At Last's cover of "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic."

View Quoted Comment This is the same reason I want to use a lyrical version. I actually discussed it with my FH aand we agreed together. He lives the idea because he is a HUGE music buff of all genres and generations. We are supposed to be picking out the song I walk down in together, but I want to surprise him and walk to 'Because you loved me' by Celine Dion. That will be the next best thing to getting to write my own vows... and it has made me think of him since the beginning of our relationship.

I have a love hate relationship with walking down the aisle with lyrics. I had a hard time mostly because lyrics somehow always had something that makes the “romantic feel” off. I walked down to a thousand years from now the piano guys version. Is a beautiful song.

We are doing all lyrical songs for our entire ceremony: procession (3 songs), unity ceremony, and recession.
