Wedding songs...

Posted: 8/28/06 at 7:40pm

Any suggestions for music a bride can walk down the aisle to? I want to be different and have a bit of a showtune theme going...all showtunes will be played during the cocktail hour and dinner, so I thought when I walk down the aisle, I could walk down to a Broadway song...any ideas???

its your wedding day- wedding singer

most shows on broadway end with weddings, well, many do, so just check a bunch of those :) many songs, im too lazy to list, though

it has to be something easy to walk to...not too fast...something slow, but not crawling...

It's your wedding day.
I'm actually going to play that song at my bat-mitzvah next month... which is really off topic. But I just had to say it.

The person who's doing my music for my bat-mitzvah did the music for someone who's in the wedding singer, had their wedding and played a lot of The Wedding Singer at their wedding. And he did a wedding for someone who is in Jersey Boys. He obviously played Frankie Valli songs. Ang Jersey Boys songs.

I think "Something Good" would be beautiful to walk down the aisle to.
I much prefer the idea of more classic Broadway songs played at weddings, as opposed to the modern poppy stuff.

If I told you from Wedding Singer...but...orchestral? The lyrics wouldn't be really fitting as you're walking down the aisle.

"Is there going to be a wedding?"

Sorry, I had to!

I think "It's Your Wedding Day" is a bit too upbeat...

How about "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera? That's one of Broadway's classic love songs.

And instrumental of "If I Told You" would be amazing. You can remove the vocals on the computer.

That was my suggestion. Such a beautiful song.

Seasons of Love?

Seasons of Love is good...i think everyone else will walk down to that...
thanks for all the suggestions.
yeah, phantom of the opera would be great i think.

Actually, it might be good to get the arrangement of the It's Your Wedding Day Finale from the Seattle tryout...that was when they did slow it down and it was all sweet and stuff. That might be close to impossible to find, though.

Hmm...I can't imagine "It's Your Wedding Day" being slowed down in the finale. I'm glad its upbeat then...it works for the show.

Does anyone know how one can remove vocals on the computer like dancingthrulife said?

Another vote for "Till There Was You"
Marry the Man Today??
If I Were A Bell
Somewhere
"Something Good" is a good choice. Of course, there is the wedding march from the film version...

Probably not "I'm Not Getting Married"
