"I walk the line" Johnny Cash :)

Traditional for us, but one of my daughters' recessional was "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". Wish I knew how to post a picture here to show them kind of dancing back down the aisle - it was so cute!

maryb119 04-15-2011 05:11 AM

The wedding march....the death march as my DH calls it. We have been married for almost 26 years so it wasn't too bad. Hahaha!

We eloped and got married on a BC Ferry.
Our withnesses were parents of a little league baseball player we found at the ferry terminal they were coming back from a game and the whole team applauded when we kissed LOL That was special.
Oh so ferry motor and waves sound was our music. If it would have been different it would have probably be a James Taylor or Van Morrisson song :-)

We eloped as well. There was no "wedding" song at the JP and after we took our witnesses out for pizza. How romantic does that sound but we've been married 47 years.

My Dad's parting words to me when I moved my belongings out of the house, "you made your bed now lie in it". That I did, and still do.

First wedding was the theme song to TV show called the "HULK". If you listen to it it is wonderful. Second, was a civil war wedding with wedding march.

pignwdw 04-15-2011 06:17 AM

My DIL walked down the aisle to Going to the Chapel and had The Unchained Melody sung during the wedding. They are in their early 40's and have been married 15 years.

sueisallaboutquilts 04-15-2011 06:19 AM

Unchained Melody is one of my favorite songs!!!!!!!

JacquiGates 04-15-2011 06:59 AM

My husband and I got married very young...when I look at pictures I see just how young we were. Our priest lectured on young people getting married too young. Yep that was the sermon for our wedding. We have been together since I was 15 and now I'm 52...the old fart!! (oops sorry if that offends anyone)

mrsreeves2 04-15-2011 07:15 AM

I walked down the aisle to'Love Me Tender' (Elvis). Also sung/played was 'If I Give My Heart to You' (Nat King Cole) and 'You Decorated My Life' (Kenny Rogers). Married in NE Iowa-not Las Vegas!

We had an outdoor wedding at a garden restaurant setting. Beautiful with all the lush trees and foliage and coming down the aisle to the traditional wedding march. During the middle of the ceremony, our live musicians with a singer sang "The Hawaiian Wedding Song." Brought many tears to a lot of people's eyes. What a wonderful memory with such a beautiful setting to celebrate our lives together. Our daughter chose the same venue for her wedding 5 years ago, too.

Bobbin along 04-15-2011 08:38 AM

My groom was a professional singer--so just before I came down the aisle, he trned toward me and sang "And This Is My Beloved" from Kismet, and then the Wedding march played and I and my dad did our walk down the aisle. It was SO romantic,I thought, but one guest, who didn't know my husband, said "I couldn't figure out why you were marrying the soloist!" :lol: :lol:

Yes, me too but I don't think anyone would have thought of it as scandalous, but very, VERY odd.....everyone turning to the person next to them and saying, "WHAT????????????" with their nose pulled up. That being said, the Wedding March always made me cry so I wouldn't have ever wanted anything else, unless Pomp and Circumstance which also makes me cry.

I DO wish I would have thought of some appropriate song for on the way back down the aisle. My second daughter was 25 when she finally got married (last of all her friends) and they played the Hallelujah Chorus on the way back. :) :) Everyone was laughing because they understood the "FINALLY!!!!!!!!" of it.

bakermom 04-15-2011 09:14 AM

Walked down the aisle to "Trumpets Voluntare" and left by "Ode to Joy" I never liked the traditional wedding march. Married 33 yrs this summer.

Debbie C 04-15-2011 09:18 AM

Perry Como's 'It's Impossible' - such a beautiful song!

lheartsl 04-15-2011 09:26 AM

first time traditional wedding march

second time.. I don't know...LOL how bad is that! I am thinking its was ode to joy...

second time I had to fight with the preist to let us have the traditional one for the way out. He didn't like the traditional wedding ones... go figure!!!

Kimkankwilt 04-15-2011 09:32 AM

The Hawaiian Wedding Song. We took our parents to Hawaii and got married in a cave with a hundred or so lit candles. It was called the Fern Grotto, but I think it has since been destroyed by Mother Nature.

Oistin 04-15-2011 09:40 AM

I jot married to ' Jesu Joy of Man's Desire' That was beatiful!! 28 years ago.I dont like the wedding march Here Comes the Bride.

dhanke 04-15-2011 10:07 AM

Ode to Joy, I'm not a big fan of Mendelsohnns'

newbee 04-15-2011 10:27 AM

Only the song in my head--(I can't remember what it would of been)--we were married by a JP in a very quick civil ceremony.

Needles 04-15-2011 12:28 PM

Was a very traditional wedding, my father walked me down the aisle to Mendelsohn Wedding March. Our soloist presented Because and I Love You Truly preceding the ceremony and The Lord's Prayer during it. That was 1962.

Being a conservative church, he was not allowed to sing You'll Never Walk Alone, one of my most favorite songs, as it was considered too theatrical. It was from Broadway, the play, Carousel.

Since we were only 18 and 19, the statement was heard, it'll never last or I give it a year. God willing, we will celebrate our Golden Anniversary next March.

Debra Mc 04-15-2011 12:39 PM

The traditional wedding march.

Edie 04-15-2011 12:39 PM

The first time it was "Little Brown Church in the Vale" back in 1960. We were married there.

The second time it was "Little Brown Church in the Vale" last year when we renewed our vows there for our 50th anniversary.

There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier spot in the dale.
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the Little Brown Church in the Vale.

How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To list to the clear ringing bell
Its tones so sweetly are calling
O come to the Church in the Vale.

We rang that bell twice - in 1960 and in 2010.

We've been married 55 yrs so there's no way I can remember.

Butterflyspain 04-15-2011 01:23 PM

Oh I remember it well, just 1 1/2 yrs ago and it was "The First Time Ever I Saw your Face" simply beautiful, but I lost him to cancer just 7 1/2 months later. We married in Gibraltar outside and it was a beautiful day.

No music only a stern faced Paster!!!But it lasted 47 years and my husband stuck by me through breast cancer, kidney cancer. and heart bypass. He is the best!!!He gave me the cd country love thats my music.

craftymatt2 04-15-2011 03:00 PM

Mine was a Carpenters Song "For all we Know" love the lyrics and they seemed to fit, we were nineteen and still getting to know each other. Been married 39 years. But in another life, I would never do it again.

aronel 04-15-2011 03:03 PM

My husband and I walked down the aisle to "We've only just begun". It's been 39 years now.

cctx. 04-15-2011 03:15 PM

Traditional wedding with all the trimmings,

"Moon River" requested by me and the traditional wedding music.

Divorced in 2000.

EX was buried last week and before passing on, he had requested "Free Bird" by Lynrd Skynrd.

My request for my funeral service will be "Spirit in the Sky"

quilter on the eastern edge 04-15-2011 03:19 PM

"Love Changes Everything" from the musical Aspects of Love by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Our first dance was "I Will" by John Stuart Montgomery and our last dance was "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" by Rod Stewart.

OHSue 04-15-2011 03:26 PM

James Taylor singing "Something in the way She Moves". My husband and I walked back to the song "First Time for Love", can you guess we were married in the eighties.

quilter in the making 04-15-2011 03:48 PM

First marriage Trumpets Voluntaire. Don't remember what we walked out to.

With current hubby (4th anniversary was yesterday) processional was Pachelbel's Canon in D and we walked out to Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World which was in the movie Fifty First Dates. Still smile every time I think of our wedding day.

fairydawn 04-15-2011 03:54 PM

Traditional wedding march but, had a female singer sing the Wedding Song during the ceremony. 39 years in May!

BlumenCreations 04-15-2011 05:23 PM

I walked down to Canon in D by Pachelbel with both of my parents.

My dad sang "In the Garden" during the service - I have always loved hearing him sing it.

4 marriages and never walked down the isle once. Just simple at home weddings (by the way this will be my last marriage, not sure I can stand to bury one more husband) My granddaughter was married last june and had the traditional wedding, until the minister said May I present Mr and Mrs ----when they turned around, they had on sunglasses as did all the bride's maids and groom's men. I don't remember the song playing, but they all "boogied" down the isle & out the church. I thought it was adorable, and so like my new grandson-in-law.

cwessel47 04-15-2011 06:05 PM

Wow. I read through them all. This is a great question. I started to think mine would be truly unique and then I found Pachebel's Canon in D, which was the way in. But we went out to James Taylor - How Sweet It Is (to be Loved By You.) It lasted 16 years. Not great, not bad. Won't do it again though.
