Walking down the aisle.

Ever since we decided to have our wedding in Jamaica, I’ve had it in my head that I somehow wanted to incorporate the song “Oh Happy Day” and possibly arrange for a choir of locals to sing it was we walk down the aisle after the ceremony.

Have you ever seen license to wed? I may or may not be jacking the idea from them (and Sister Act, but a choir of wildly talented high schoolers is hard to find on such a small island).

But, um. Do you have any ideaaaaaa how much it costs to hire an entire choir?  It’s not cheap.  Trust me.  I’ve made the necessary phone calls.   I’ve asked around.  I’ve begged.  It costs as much as my actual wedding.  So.  Back to the drawing board.

While I may not have the song we walk down after the ceremony all decided, we have decided that the bridesmaids and I will walk down the aisle to an acoustic guitar playing “Here Comes the Sun” by George Harrison of the Beatles.

I seriously can not think of a more beautiful song.  Take away the words and just listen to that adorable little guitar melody. I’m smitten.  I thought about maybe switching it up and having that play for the bridesmaids and then something a little more “traditional” for my walk down the aisle, but honestly?  I’m not traditional.  Our wedding isn’t traditional, why  not have some fun with it?

I’m thinking of blasting “We are the Champions” by Queen as we walk down after the ceremony, or something equally ridiculous.

What are you planning to walk down the aisle to?  If you’re already married, did you stick with the traditional or did you make it personal?
