I'm getting married in July next year, and although everything is coming together nicely we can't agree on the music I will walk down the aisle to.. My hubby-to-be wants the wedding march, and go all-out traditional, whereas I would like a classical piece but not as common. I currently like Canon in d major, but im not sure how to influence him to change his mind... I don't want to hate the music I walk down to!
Helpp?

We're having Canon in d Major, neither of us like the wedding march x

I walked down the aisle to Handel's Hornpipe Water music, played by a string quartet - but I'm sure it can be played on an organ. It's upbeat, and cheery :-)

I'm walking in to canon in D Major and having the bridal chorus (think it's that one..the one you walk out to anyway!) when we leave. We're having the church bells and I always think that one sounds lovely with the bells at the end :-) maybe you could come to a compromise by maybe walking out to something traditional together?

If it were me and he said 'wedding march' I'd put my foot down and say no. Wouldn't budge on it either. It's just not to my taste at all it makes me cringe.
It's sounds bratty, but I'd genuinely spit my dummy out over this lol. This is also why I'm not telling his mum, lol.... I know what I'm walking down to and no one is changing my mind xD
There DOES have to be some element of compromise as I wouldn't walk to something he in turn hated, it would be like hating your first dance song to me....
Tell him he can pick what you walk out to and sign the register too, if it were me, I'd offer up him choosing the first dance as well - I dislike the wedding march that much lol.
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey
*Kelbel* is my wedding twinny!
I always knew I wouldn't have the standard wedding marches. I wanted something less obvious. It should really be up to you what you walk in to; all he has to do is stand there. Maybe he'll accept the Canon in D if you give him free rein for what you walk out to

It was the day that I became Mrs. Dixon.

Pachabel's Canon is very standard and common now. So many couples have that for their entrance of the bride it's become almost expected, I've been to so many weddings and seen so many on tv where the bride walks in to that. TBH I must be one of the few who doesn't like it, me and my sister, both of us when planning our weddings banned it from our wedding days unless it was played before we arrived which meant we didn't have to hear it.
My sister chose Faure's Pavane to walk in to and I chose Schubert's Ave Maria, both a little bit different but also something we love, although we both studied music so maybe that had something to do with it.
I agree the wedding march is very standard but I think that people avoid that these days because it's so standard x

I am struggling so much with ceremony music as we are getting married in a modern church and their is no organ or anything so not sure what to do? I quite like the traditional wedding march as our theme is vintage too. Does anyone have any ideas for me for music or could suggest any useful websites - this is one thing that is really stressing me out as I know nothing about music!! Also dont know about hymns...

Im being piped into the ceremony hall to the tune of The Dark Island. Because Im from the Western Isles, its a tune that is relative to me and one I grew up listening to. At the end of the day hun, your hubby should really allow you to walk down the aisle to something you truely enjoy! Compromise is needed in decisions to do with your big day, and if it means so much to you to have Canon instead of the wedding march, then there needs to be a Vito vote! lol Good luck!
CommentAuthorMrsLowe
I agree I love pachelbels cannon but it's soo common and predictable I didn't have it... However I had something different and had the royal philharmonic orchestra version of Coldplay yellow and wedding march walking out. I do however suggest you go for something you love as you may look back and regret it as I do about elements of my day x
