What's your song when walking down the aile?? - Page 2 - Vancouver Wedding Forum

Yeah I have changed my mind too! Today the song is: Some Where over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful world by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole - I just love his version of them both & it is long enough that both myself & my bridal party can walk to it.

The way the song is done makes me think of a Club Med commercial, seeing as we're getting married in a indoor tropical garden it seems fitting.

Who knows what I will want by tomorrow ha ha ha

I have changed mine too. I'll be walking down to Canon D but instead i've now booked a HARPIST to plat the song.
I'm am super excited. It wasn't in the budget but I thought that it would add an extra touch to the wedding and FH said, "sure, what ever you like hun" lol lol.
The Harpist will play 45min before the ceremony and I am allowing her to suggest the song for my Bm to walk down to now. She also plays during the signing and a bit after the ceremony too. Oh i'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to a wedding where they had a harpist. The music from the harp was angelic. But it was a shame that the harpist was seated at the back of the room where nobody could see her. I think it is better to place her where people can see her (and the beautiful harp) during the ceremony.

from the movie, Shall We Dance?...The Book of Love by Peter Gabriel...it is the song playing in the background as Richard Gere comes up the escalator with a red rose in hand...we both love the lyrics and it is the 2nd marriage for both of us.

Hi Tanya, who did you book as your Harpist? I want a live musician playing and a harpist is all I can think of (some how I think a rock band playing won't have the same effect!). If you could send me her info (including how much you're paying for her if you don't mind) that would be great!

Thanks!!

Amanda

Did you guys ever find out what the name of that instrumental music was (from the horizon video website)? I emailed them as well but haven't received a reply. That music is actually quite common as I've heard it in various video demos

Please let me know if you know the name!

Hey Newbie, welcome aboard. Ah whoops, I should of replied back with an update.... man the month before the wedding was crazzy... Yes, we to tried contacting them and they also ignore our request..... However.....my wife and i did some hardcore downloading and researching and finally found it.... Check out: the Pearl Harbour soundtrack..... Tennessee by Hans Zimmer... Also, check out his other songs too... we liked his gladiator theme song too... i feel so emotional hearing it.... of course in a manly way... cheers !!

We chose "The Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel from the movie, Shall We Dance?

Thanks for the name of the song! I'm going to see if I can incorporate it into our wedding! It's very dramatic.
