Wedding Music

:j Hi, I'm getting married next week and I have been told by reg office that I have to choose 4 songs...
  1. While guests are waiting for ceremony to begin
  2. My entrance
  3. Signing my life away
  4. Exit
I don't know where to begin so help me please!!!! I don't want anything traditional, our ceremony will only be in front of 12 people (we wanted only immediate family there). We want something a little bit different.

My entrance song will be songbird by fleetwood mac (decided that a while ago)

All help greatly appreciated.

BTW wedding is next Fri and music has to be on a CD and handed in by Monday.:eek:

Thanks xxxx

    bit of a tight timescale there ;)
    i think most people opt for some sort of classical stuff while guests arrive so they can still chat over it.

    our choices are:
    entrance: Dean Martin, Everybody Loves Somebody
    register: Have I told you lately, Rod stewart
    exit: Better together, Jack Johnson

    quite a mixture :o

    when I read the OP on this I was just going to say Jack Johnson but you beat me to it toniwoty!

    How about Signed Sealed Delivered when you're signing the register?

    How about leaving to "Bring Me Sunshine" (Morecombe and Wise version :D). I think it's such a happy song.

    why dont you get one of the mixed cd's given away free on the bridal mags, they usually have 5 or 6 songs including the wedding march for your entrance, if thats your kind of thing ?! if not just pick your favourite few tracks of a album you like ?

    Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me is a popular choice too, or how about:

    All you need is Love - The Beatles
    Truly, Madly, Deeply - Savage Garden
    It had to be you - Harry Connick Jnr
    Have I told you lately - Rod Stewart
    We've only just begun - The Carpenters
    Unforgettable - Nat King Cole

    The registry office my Mom married in a couple of years ago had their own CD playing in the background... At least I think my Mom didn't choose Celine Dion to get married too....

    If you were looking for music and not a song for signing register or while guests arrive, Pachelbel's Cannon in D would be my choice it's beautiful.


    See this link for Cannon in D
