Alternative Wedding Marches

 

Beautiful non-traditional bride looks so great, doesn't she?
If you don't want 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!

How about some alternative music choices to the tradtional wedding marches for up and down the aisle?

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. It 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.

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!

February 2012: American actress, Scarlet Johannson, divorced actor Ryan Reynolds during 2011. Yet, in an interview in late 2011, Ms Johansson stated she has no regrets about the failed marriage. The couple was together for two years. She said, "It was the best thing I ever did. I'm a big believer in instinct. Getting married was the right thing to do because it was natural."

"It grew out of romance and love and a desire to have a future with somebody, and I was very fortunate that I married somebody who turned out to be the person I thought he would be," Ms Johansson added.
