What are you using for ceremony songs?

My ceremony and reception are both going to be outside next to a lake. It has a very laid back vibe-- more like a very nice picnic. I'm using "Somewhere over the rainbow/what a wonderful world" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Here is a link to the song. I love it.

The song is 4:43mins.

Looove Brutha Iz!!

Ok, so I'm walking down the aisle to a string version of "Angel" by Aerosmith. It's really pretty!

My parents won't be there and his parents said they will just be seated with the rest, but up front, it is just me, moh and fg so we all are walking to Prelude to Te Deum and our recessional is Ode to Joy, nothing fancy, just a nice simple ceremony

Im hiring taylor swift and kayne west to perform at my wedding.lol

seriously were picking from a list of songs the dj gave me and ones i know-for instance im using a love of a lifetime for my first dance and the mom and son dance im using because you loved me by ceine dion.theres a link on this site that brings you to song in for each category.hope it helps oh and in closing taylor swift had the best video of all time-lol

What style of music are you looking for (classical, contemporary, traditional, upbeat, ...)?

I always suggest our brides to look into Yiruma and Vitamin String Quartet. Also, think outside the box! (I LOVE the list Albert and Susie posted! LOVE the Love Story meets Viva La Vida by Jon Schimdt!!! He was my hubby's piano teacher and dated my sister in law!) It doesn't HAVE to be instrumental! YOu can do ANYTHING you like! There are really no rules anymore! My favorite recessional is "Ever Ever After" by Carrie Underwood, and "Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours" by Stevie Wonder.

Bridal party processional: "Storybook Love" from The Princess Bride

Bridal entrance music: "Buon Giorno, Principessa!" from Life is Beautiful

Recessional: "You're Just Too Good to be True" by Frankie Valli

Also, a friend of mine used the acoustic "Hey Ya" song as her recessional, which was super cute! Hope that helps!

Our parents were seated to You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban, the girls and I walked into Canon in D, Unity Sand was Butterfly Waltz, and we walked out to something called In Classic Style or something. We wanted to walk out to the Linus and Lucy theme but his mom would not have appreciated that probably Lol.

Processional: canon in D

Bridal entrance: Sea of Love by Cat Power

Recessional: Be Near Me by ABC

My cousin just used the into the The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" as her recessional. It was awesome and so different.

We actually just decided on this last night (have a meeting with the DJ tonight)!

Grandparents/parents seating: I Will (The Beatles)

Processional: God Only Knows (The Beach Boys)

Recessional: Everybody (Sister Hazel) (Very fun & cute!)

I say pick songs that you and your FH love and make sense in your world. These days with these things the only limitations are the ones you put on yourself! Good luck!

A great idea for you entrance song into the reception is Black Eyed Peas "I got a feeling" We used this and it was a big hit!

I'm walking up to "Smiling Underneath" by Ani Defranco. Our whole wedding is sorta 'clockwork/steampunk' so its pretty applicable... and she rocks!

You can really have fun with the recessional. In addition to some of the great ideas listed above, I've used

-- Beatles "All You Need Is Love"

-- U2 "Beautiful Day"

-- Stevie Wonder "Signed Sealed and Delivered"

-- Turtles "Happy Together"

-- Beyonce & Jay-Z "Crazy in Love"

-- Monkees "I'm a Believer" (also covered by Smash Mouth)

-- Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose "Too Late to Turn Back Now"

My parents are walking into to endless love instrumental'

BP: For you I will by Monica the instrumental version

Me: This is the day by an artist Rome who is so hard to find but I thinkl that is the perfect wedding song. My cousin is singing it

Recessional: the verve Bittersweet symphony instrumental. it is going to start at the end when he says kiss the bride because it starts soft and then picks up the tempo.
