    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
