Song to walk down the aisle

[leharris5]

(as of today) I will be walking down the aisle to "Kissing You" by Desiree from the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack

 

As a surprise for my FI, i will be singing "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys during the reception

 

If you are having a hard time deciding, go with an instrumental version of a song you like. Something that has a great emotional melody...

trumpet voluntary is popular.


We are thinking about counting crows colorblind with just the piano, no vocals. A friend of mine is recording it for us, but if she doesn't have time to record it I'll find this version somewhere else. I know it's out there. She is also goign to record some red hot chili peppers piano music.

I love that song by the counting crows.

This tread has been so helpful and Timely, my WC just emailed me requesting what songs I want...I freaked b/c I hadn't even thought of it.

So I saw this b/c I haven't decided what to play and I really love the Somewhere over the rainbow and it feels like home and I just couldn't decide. But tell me what you guys think.

 

My whole family won't be able to make it except my parents so I feel kinda sad that they'll be missing out. So I thought I would ask my brother who is a music major in school right now and Drum Major for his college, if maybe he could play a song or two and have any of his friends play other pieces like the piano and his gf plays the french horn and they could record this for me. Then when I walk down the aisle I could play it so it's kinda like hes there playing it for me. I don't know? What do you guys think? Sappy?? Ugh.

I think that sounds great. A friend is recording piano music for me & my dad is recording some singing.

I think that is awesome and such a great surprise!

Well, Dan proposed to me on the night we went to see Dave Matthews in Vegas. Fortunately, the first song they played was "Crash into me", my favorite, and to top it off they released the live concert on CD. So.. I think I am going to walk down to the live version of Crash.. since it was when Dan proposed..
