Ah, this brings back memories! DH and I were married in a catholic cathedral ('06), so our music had to be "in line" with church protocol. Having said that, we hired a fab brass quintet which sounded absolutely fantastic ...
Walking down the aisle - Pachelbel's Canon in D (... a popular choice, it seems!)
Signing marriage certificate - Ave Maria
Recessional - Water Music Suite (Handel) - I adore this piece of music!
Bridal Waltz - How Do I Live, Trisha Yearwood
Can't remember most of the songs we picked for our reception other than "At Last" which immediately followed the bridal waltz and "The Way You Look Tonight". We had "Good Riddance: Time of Your Life" by Green Day as we farewelled everyone at the end of our reception. We kinda hoped not too many people knew the correct title cos we didn't pick the song to be cheeky!
I was a bit obsessed about the music at our reception, cos I'd been to a wedding not long before ours and the reception music was dreadful - the music choices were left up the DJ and he killed the dance floor time and time again with one decent song (which got everyone up), then a shocker (from heavy metal to tacky early 90s "dance" music that died a quick death a decade ago!). I made sure we chose a DJ who would play OUR choices ... and I'm proud to say lots of people got up and danced the night away at our reception!!
Have fun - it's an exciting time

what was your bridal waltz song? The Last Waltz - the band
This is so fun! So exciting for you, I adored my Wedding.
We walked down the isle to pachebels canon (the done thing)
Register was signed to a friend singing "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison
And the waltz was started with "Sunshine of my Life" by Stevie Wonder then there was a big scratch sound and we did a fully choregraphed dance to "Hey Ya" by Outcast ending with a Dirty Dancing style lift. We are both big showoffs!
Have the best time, the best advice I got was take a little minute alone with your husband during the reception, that's the part I remember the most.
Bridal party - Pachel
Me - Love is a gift - Olivia Newton John and Anthony Warlow
Signing of Certs - Beautiful in my eyes - Joshua Kadison
After Ceremony - Love Song - Taylor Swift.
I had HEAPS of other songs i wanted played but they weren't for whatever reason so these were what ended up being played. (I was watching the video today LOL)
Walking down the aisle- Bittersweet symphony (instrumental version). I actually pinched that idea off another BB member in a thread like this one, but i can't remember who it was now. tinks, maybe it was you?
Signing the registry- the rivers runs by yakamo (from the twilight movie- beautiful piece of music)
After the cermony- Mystify by INXS
Walking into the reception- Dream Catch Me by newton faulkner
Wedding dance- Mandy Moore's version of Rhianna's umbrella (youtube it, it's gorgeous). Another idea froma Bb member (Niadla, if I remember correctly?).
On a sidenote, my car got broken into a few weeks ago, and they stole my wedding cd. I can make another one, but it's not the same. devastated
Wow this brings back memories, we celebrate our 6 wedding aniversary in at the end of Feb. We had a garden wedding
Walking down the aisle: Pachabel Canon (I've always loved this)
Signing the Certificate: The Rose: Bette Midler
Watermark - Enya
Walking down the aisle: Endless Love: Luther Vandross & Mariah Carery
We then had a few songs playing for background music whilst people mingled.
They were Amazed Lonestar
A Whole New World Aladdin
Come away with Me : Norah Jones
Being presented at the reception we came into Angels by Robbie Williams
Cutting the cake: All my Life: KC and Jo JO
Bridal Waltz: Touch of Paradise by John Farnham, we then had the band play Thank you by Dido for when the parents etc get up to dance.
Good Luck with your wedding , let us know what music you decide on
