Hi, I need help!!!! I am getting married in a country manor house (so excited!) Just having problems deciding on a song to play when we leave the service...some are so cheesy. I am walking down the aisle to Canon in D, and we are having Ave Maria when we sign the register. Just cant on a song to leave to...whats everyone having??? Ideas welcome!!! :)
CommentAuthorMrsSaraParry!
well I'm probably going to be walking down the aisle to the Music from the Royal Fireworks, thats a lovely one and could be appropriate for either entering or leaving? Its quite a celebratory tune :o) xx

Do either of you have a favourite artist? Could use something by them x
You've chosen very classical pieces - is your ceremony a civil ceremony?
Would you like the song to walk out to another classic one or more modern?
Our songs all mean something special to us - the one we're walking out to is 'Have love, will travel' by the Black Keyes - the band and the lyrics are very meaningful to us and I'll probably have the song title engraved on my ring.

we will be walking out the first time to Dean Martin memories are made of this, then we will be re-entering for our blessing (we have the leave the ceremony room with the registrars to mark the end of the legal bit before re-entering for our blessing) then the end of the whole thing we will be walking out to green day good ridance. I love both songs and find them very fitting really.

I LOVE a bit of Dino! It's on my list of possible songs for signing - but h2b needs to approve. I do love it and it's very appropriate but it doesn't have a special meaning to both of us together. But the other 2 songs do so I think it would be still very "us" stylewise. Great choice!
Green Day would actually have a special meaning for both of us :-) Need to think about this.... Wasn't my question for inspiration but you have inspired me now Blondmumma!

Yeah we are having a civil ceremony :) Think would like another classical piece but not sure!?! Not against having something more modern-just don't know what? We don't really have a band that mean something to us, fave appropriate song etc. Ummmm.

I don't think you will be able to have the Ave Maria if it's a civil ceremony. As beautiful as it is.

Our first dance will be to metallica nothing else matters, we have nothing else matters engraved inside our rings as well. It is very meaningful to us. We will be having the apocolyptica version during our signing. The proclaimers lets get married will be playing when everyone arrives to take their seats, followed by me walking in to elvis costello she.....so a very wide variety of music. Ryans nan loves dean martin so something a little special to her would be nice, and i love the words, so fitting i think especially for the timing of the day, that we will be walking back in as man and wife for a blessing you know?
Green day was one that we didnt have to think about at all, it just seemed perfect from the word go and was a given.... mainly because we were friends for a good 10 years before finally sorting ourselves out and getting it together.

We're having "All you needis love" by the Beatles while people are sitting down - it's a sing everyone knows and I think everyone likes (or at least not hates :-)) and it makes yiu smile and puts you in a cheerful mood. We think it's a great one to set the tone for a fun relaxed day. I'll walk down to " Are you gonna be my girl" by Jet because that's our song. When h2b spotted me in a bar years ago he apparently had to think of the lyrics (I have lomg brown hair and wore big boots) and went on to chat me up - the rest is history :-) In the first few months he would always sing the song to me or we would listen to the Jet album and tell us how we met. :-) We'll walk out to " Have love, will travel" by the Black Keyes - it's one of our fave bands but he introduced me to them so they will always remind me of him. I am not British and I'm here because of him - I'll travel anywhere for him - and vice versa. So the lyrics are very meaningful to us.
No song for signing yet and the first dance is not decided either - it's currently between "Little bit of Heaven" by Tom Waits or "Sea of Love" - I like the Tom Waits version best but it creeps me out a little because of the film. I also love the Honeydrippers version but I think if we go for this song then it will be Cat Powers version sung by sil who us also h2bs Best Woman.

No I agree with bossy hun, ave Maria is a religious song, it says in our pack we can't have anything with the slightest religious hint. Check with your registrar to be sure though x

Thanks will check with the registrar, is H2B choice, as having it played instrumental rather than sung thought might be ok. But will check thanks ladies! x

It is beautiful but THE catholic church hymn for weddings - I really doubt they'll let you do it.
