Looking for some alternative music choices to the tradtional wedding marches for up and down the aisle? We have FANTASTIC CHOICES!

You know that "tradition" is just a guideline, an archive of what people did before you arrived. Your tradition begins the day you decide how you want your wedding to be. Your tradition does not have to have anything to do with the people who came before you and the decisions they made about their ceremony and reception.

wedding aisle runners with the bride and groom initials intertwined, customized

If you don't walk to walk up the aisle to Here Comes the Bride, you don't have to. If you want to walk down the aisle to some wild on rock tune, you can do that too! You may however have more limited choices if you get married in a church, temple or other religious location that has more traditional guidelines. Make sure you discuss everything with the church planner first!

Included below are a nice starter list of other classical music that will work very nicely for your walk up the aisle and your walk back down the aisle.

 
 
 
Here are the most popular classical music pieces for weddings. Processionals and Recessionals, enjoy!

Don't forget to entertain your guests while they wait for the wedding ceremony to begin! Your wedding is a 'show' produced by you and it starts the minute the guests step foot into the church, temple or place where the marriage ceremony will take place.

Talk it over with the event planner at the church or temple you've chosen for your wedding ceremony. Perhaps they have a set of music already prepared to play for the guests as they wait for your arrival. They may be open to hear your own suggestions.

If you're really lucky, they'll let you program a full 30 minutes worth of music before the ceremony even begins!

Breaking Wedding News!  
brady with giselle bundchen January 2009 - [Updated from earlier entry December 2008] - Injured NFL quarterback Tom Brady proposed marriage to his girlfriend of two years, internationally known fashion model Giselle Bundchen on Christmas eve 2008. He proposed in a private plane filled with white roses and champagne. Brady asked Ms Bundchen the question with her parents in attendance. Mr Brady, who is 31-years old, proposed after their jet took off from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on a flight bound for Boston. He had to act quickly, that is a quarterback under the time pressure of a short flight. Ms Bundchen's parents are Vania and Valdir Bundchen. Exact wedding ceremony plans have not been announced. Press speculation ranges from NYC (unlikely) to Costa Rica where Ms Bundchen owns a vacation home (makes much more sense). Updated: This story may be a rumor, stay tuned.
