I'm getting married in July. Has anyone suggestions for music that's a bit different? I have chosen 'Happy' by Mary Duff as the entrance music, soft with lovely words. However I'm at a loss for register signing and exit music. it will be in the register office so nothing to churchy.

Songbird by Eva Cassidy is beautiful.

I just looked up 'Your Love is Lifting me Higher' on You Tube Polskasue and found a fabulous video of Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth dancing to the sound track. I feel so happy now! Thank you. Link below:

‘ I’m yours’ is gorgeous and uplifting. Jason Mraz

Agree with Elsie. Ashokan Farewell is lovely as is the love theme from TheGodfather.
The Greig Wedding Day was written for a Silver Wedding.

The Wind Beneath My Wings by whoever is appropriate. Highland Wedding is lovely.

Our daughter and husband exited to The Proclaimers - (If I could walk) 5000 miles - fantastic, everyone was singing and laughing

Whatever you fancy is the best thing. My daughter got married in church and had Eric Clapton's Layla playing as she entered the church. Her name is Leila. No hymns but a lovely song by Pink, unfortunately her young husband died 2 years later and the music was yet again very celebratory of their love.

Hello I have only posted here a couple of times but wanted to wish you a lovely wedding day. I’ve always loved the song Tangled up in you by Staind have a look on you tube. My late husband loved it too?

What era music are you thinking about? I'll have a think.

One hand one heart from West Side Story if you want something romantic but not sloppy.

'Only you' By The Platters , is lovely, or 'The Wonder of You' by Elvis Presley. you can listen to them on You tube.

Found this on you tube. Might be fitting? WEDDING SONG: To Have And To Hold (with lyrics)

Unchanged melody. Exit music - At last by Etta James. Signed, sealed, delivered by Stevie Wonder. At Last is beautiful. Keep us posted.

I can remember reading Dawn French having can't take my eyes off you Andy Williams and the congregation joining in with chorus sounded good fun

When my friend was getting married last year she wanted suggestions for music to play. I suggested Shania Twayne meaning "from this moment" She had me in stitches when she said she thought I was suggesting "That don't impress me much"

Polskasue Wed 03-Apr-19 23:09:06

Let us know what you choose! Have a wonderful day.

A couple who married at our church had a very unusual song choice - 'Time to say goodbye' . We had to learn it with the verses in Italian. I'd not heard it before and although it was beautiful I kept thinking it was a strange choice. I had a recording of it played at the end of my mum's funeral service a few years later!
