Hey guys so I am having so much trouble with picking my walking down the aisle song. I found the song that I absolutely loved, cried a little when I heard it and knew this was the song I wanted and could see myself walking down the aisle to. The song is L.O.V.E by Nat King Cole. So the problem is my parents. The first argument they started was that it was a bad choice, and their excuses were oh no people are not going to be paying attention to you walking down the aisle when you have a vocalist and two other musicians playing the song while you walk down the aisle, the second was that people are going to be paying more attention to the musicians because they are going to be comparing the singers voice to Nat King Cole's and it won't sound the same ( its not Nat King Cole so no its not going to sound the same I don't think people will be mad or care if it does or doesn't), the third was all their friends said that's not what you are supposed to do. So finally after some argument I said fine lets compromise we can have the DJ pipe in the music for the entrance and exit songs, entrance song L.O.V.E and the exit song is This Will Be An Everlasting Love by Natalie Cole. And they agreed upon that, and said good they are happy and proud of me for compromising. So as couple of weeks go by after we had agreed upon having the DJ pipe in the two songs for the entrance and exit songs, and now they are bringing it back up arguing that's just what isn't done, we don't want you to play that song and you may not walk down the aisle to that song, reasons now are somewhat similar to that of the last, except this time they are like no one is going to be listening to you, umm I am not talking while walking down the aisle and the song stops when the ceremony starts, second oh its going to be embarrassing to us if you have a vocalist singing while you walk down the aisle, and its just not done and its not appropriate. And then they tell me if that's what you choose for your song then you can pay for the wedding. Which I am helping out a lot of paying for things. They are paying for the wedding and understand they have much say in it, but that's if the flowers are too expensive, or we can't have an afterparty or expense wise I can understand if they say no or ask me to choose something else because of expense which I will. But I don't think they should have a say in our song choices if their is no difference in costs, which there isn't. Its been really upsetting, its my special day and I love this song and how it sounds with the vocals. It doesn't cost more or less to pick that song to walk down the aisle to. So I guess I am asking has anyone ever been to a wedding that has had a dj pipe in song with vocals? Or been to a wedding that has had just acoustics for L.O.V.E by Nat King Cole? Any advice on how to handle these overbearing parents?
