Song to walk down the aisle?
Meagan, on January 16, 2018 at 11:03 PM

Hey what are some suggestions for the bride walking down the aisle. I don't want to do the traditional wedding march. Maybe a different piece of classical music? We have an organist.

If i find a venue thats beautiful how inconvenient would it be to have a venue 4 hours away from where i live? My fear is many ppl not coming bc it is so far of a drive.

Dancing down the aisle... only cool in the office??
