We got married in March 2009 in a Register Office and walked in to Amazed by Lonestar - my husband's suggestion as I kept playing it all the time!:D

My sister's walking in to this, but she's getting married in a church and has a 40-strong choir - a recording like this would still be pretty effective though I think if you want something grand to announce your arrival!

my cousin is a professional singer and shes doing half and hour for us during the reception, shes going to finish with elbow - one day like this
we LOVE that song

im going down the ailse to an instrumental version of aerosmith dont wanna miss a thing, OH also wants it as our first dance so hopefully because its instrumental and then 1st dance will be the proper version people wont think they are hearing the same song over and over again... but even if they do, its special to us so... nerrrr! lol

actually, while im here.... in my head i was planning that the bridesmaids / flower girls etc go down the ailse before me, thats the normal way isnt it?
my friend today was surpised that i wasnt going first and it threw me a bit, i hadnt even considered it

I've not definetly decided yet but my favourite song that I imagined myself walking down the aisle to is Fur Elise - Beethoven. I adore this song

Thats how we are having it but I think the traditional church way is for bride first. I like the idea of the bridesmaids first so they get their moment in the spotlight then I follow. Whenever i've been to a wedding once the bride has walked down the aisle I've been looking at her and not really paying any attention to anyone else. But think it a case of having it how you want it.

My church wedding many years ago, and all church weddings I've been to have the bride first and the traditional thing of the BMs behind was that they are the maids of the bride, and look after her train etc (remember Princess Di!) But for our civil ceremony we've been told that BM goes first...saving the best to last! I wondered if it's since flower girls have become more popular...I don't remember people having them years ago, any young girl was a bridesmaid and that was it. Are flower girls something else we've adopted from across the pond? I've seen one wedding when there was a small flower girl sprinkling the flowers for the bride to walk on (so obviously she had to go in front of bride) with BMs bringing up the rear

It was my OH's 6-minute warning piece, the last piece of music played before my MoH & I came in, planned to let him know that I was there and he had 6 minutes to leg it!!

My MoH went in first, to Canon in D, then I followed with my elder son who gave me away. Makes the music last a bit longer, and makes the guests sit up and pay attention!
