Alright, its details time. I’ve thought long and hard about what song Andy, me and the wedding party will enter to at the reception but I’ve COMPLETELY neglected the ceremony.
No shocker here, I’m not big on the super traditional bridal march. I would really like something instrumental for the processional and then something upbeat and fun for the recessional.
Of course, I headed straight to google for some help with “nontraditional wedding ceremony music”. And, I’ve been polling people on the boat.
We went to a wedding this summer that had instrumental Beatles music, it was AWESOME. I can’t believe I’ve neglected this for sooooo long. So, I thought I’d share with you what I’ve come across on the internet.
Processional
Instrumental version of the Verve’s “bittersweet symphony”. Cruel intentions anyone?!
“when you say nothing at all” – Allison Krauss version. Sweet but I think music with lyrics would be weird in a processional?
“Somewhere over the rainbow”
Forrest gump theme song- OMG. Movie songs. AWESOME. Also, I live in Alabama and that’s where the movie is set.
“Here Comes the Sun” –Beatles. Instrumental and it could work!
“Here there and everywhere” – the beatles
Recessional
“I believe in a thing called love” – the Darkness. OMG. Can you imagine if this happened.
“Eye of the Tiger” My professor Alice told me she was a bridesmaid in a wedding where this happened. My biggest fear is what the groomsmen would do.
“Signed, sealed, delivered… I’m yours” Nope. Too cliché.
“Wouldn’t it be nice”- The beach boys
“Island in the sun”- weezer. This and beach boys would be good for a summer wedding or something.
“beautiful day” –U2.
“I’m a believer” the Smashmouth version
“just like heaven”- the cure. OMG I love the cure. This was on my first dance short list, I love them more than Andy does though, so I'm not sure this will work.
Or people have had their bridesmaids walk in to “With a little help from my friends”.
Guys!!! This is fun but its really hard!!! How have I overlooked it for so long. I love so so so much music. The beatles, dave Matthews…
Actually, I need to think long and hard about this or I’ll be crying before I even get down the aisle if I choose something too emotional. I cry at music ALL the time. That stupid song by the Script “For the first time”… I made a Pandora station based around that song until it made me almost cry when I was listening to it in the lab.
Songs have such emotional connections. I’ve gotta pick one that doesn’t ALREADY have emotional ties but one that I’m ok with remembering as our wedding songs. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
