    Pachelbel's Canon is beatiful for walking down the aisle, my friend had it a few weeks ago
    YES!! Such a beautiful piece of music. I love it!

    When we renew our vows in a few years we'll be having our actual wedding as we didn't have one the first time around.

    Imagine the scene from labyrinth at the masquerade ball... thats the theme for our wedding, with a few other alternative aspects like orb juggling, burlesque, sword swallowing and fire twirling.

    The piece of music we plan to have when walking down the aisle is Haydn Sonata 49 2nd movement it was made famous in Interview with a Vampire... YouTube - Interview With the Vampire - Lestat Playing Piano If I could source a harpsichord to play it I would be even happier

    Our waltz would be "As the world falls down" YouTube - David Bowie - As the world falls down and we plan to play "Underground" YouTube - Labyrinth - Underground as we leave

    There are a few other songs that I want played...

    OOh, my first wedding was going to be scarily close to yours Cai! But my initial idea comes from the Eddie Murphy movie Coming to America - you know that insane wedding scene from the start? Awesome. Had fire twirlers and didge players at the ready....

    But I did get married in a little stone church in the hills and walked down the aisle to "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba". Of course

    I sang a Mexican song at a wedding for the aisle walk for a chick who loved the song when she saw us play it at a gig she came to (she's not Latin or anything remotely more exotic than anglo-celtic, nor is her husband!). It was an outdoor wedding, in a large garden. It's also sung by Linda Rondstadt in Songs of My Father (he was Mexican...duh!) and that's where I learnt of it - called Hay Unos Ojos (literal translation - there are some eyes...not quite carrying the same sentiment), about someone who finds joy and love and fulfilment in his/her lover's eyes. Sounds sappy, but sung in Spanish with a talented classic guitarist, it's not. Lulu - it's on our set list for the 30th
