wedding music

[irmanator]

What is the name of the peice of music that is played as the bride walks down the aisle?

[disneysteve]

There are quite a few that are used. Here Comes the Bride, of course. Many use music from Vivaldi's Four Seasons. And I've heard various other music used as well, both classical and contemporary. There's no rule that you have to use any particular music.

Canon in D is also used quite a bit, particularly for the seating of parents and for the bridesmaids/groomsmen to walk down too.

I just got married 2 weeks ago and used Canon in D for the processional of the groomsmen and bridesmaid and the bridal march for me.

While lightning will not strike and invalidate the marriage if you choose any old music, most folk think of 'here comes the bride' which is actually called 'bridal chorus from longsomething' by Wagner

I did a google search for 'here comes the bride' music and here are plenty of sites to help you find it or something similar.

Canon D for my wife

[pearlieq]

I used Canon in D for the processional and a custom arrangement of Simple Gifts for the processional.

I just couldn't bring myself to use "Here Comes the Bride" because all I could hear in my head were the old 8-year-old lyrics :

Here comes the bride,
Fair, fat, and wide
Here comes the groom,
Skinny as a broom...

I just couldn't walk down the aisle humming that to myself...

Haha we used to sing that in elementary school too! hahaha
