And it is forever tainted because over a year after we were married he mentioned that his one ex had put it on a CD for him. And he didn't think of it at the time we were planning the wedding/felt it wsa too late to change it.
Add to it that he according to him, my walking down the aisle meant more to him then our first dance.
I walked down the aisle to Here, There & Everywhere by The Beatles (my bridal party walked down to I Will). But it was re-done and re-recorded by my BIL in a fugue style.
My recessional song was a cool rock (instrumental) version of God Only Knows by The Beach Boys (again, my BIL).
Our first dance song was Your Song by Elton John. (pretty cliched first dance song, but it meant something to us)
I walked down the aisle to "Stars and Butterflies" from the soundtrack to Pride and Prejudice. It was perfect. We walked back up the aisle to "All I want is You" from the Juno soundtrack. It was a shock to our guests and made sure our reception was a party.
Our first dance was Better Together by Jack Johnson. It was perfect for us, but the song seemed so long. It's strange having everyone watch you. We were laughing during our dance to make us not feel so awkward.
I'll answer, but there's probably bad juju in my picks.
I don't remember what I walked down the aisle to, but it involved a trumpet. Recessional was Ode to Joy because I love it and used to sing it in German when I was a kid. First dance was As Time Goes By (Louis Armstrong).
First dance was Grow Old With You from the Wedding Singer movie. But then, we walked in to Party Like a Rockstar and played Weird Al's "eat it" while people went through the buffet.
lol, you guys. Like your wedding song is the reason you got divorced.
I know that
But it kind of has a negative connotation associated with it. Kind of like how I can't eat at PF Changs because I came down with the stomach flu right after eating it.
Entered the hall with the party to 'Another One Bites the Dust'.
We did too!
Our Bridal party walked in to, "Gypsies, Tramps and Theives". We actually both remember hearing that song during our first date. (And there were a few Phillies fans in attendance who got a chuckle out of it too.)
I walked down the aisle to "This Kind Of Love" by Sister Hazel, recessional was Ob La Di. Our first dance was also "Grow Old With You" from The Wedding Singer. It was short, to the point, and said everything it needed to say.

Didn't have one. I forgot about music entirely until two days before when I suddenly remembered and hastily burned some CDs off my hard drive. I'm sure there was lots of Johnny Cash and June Carter on there.
We didn't have one. I wanted Book of Love by Peter Gabriel. H wanted Breed by Nirvana. lol If we'd actually had a real reception, I think I would have done the Misfits' version of You Belong to Me

Yeah, I can't eat fried plantains because after a day full of them, I ended up in the med unit with amoebas. Unrelated to the plantains, of course, but my stomach still turns with every bite.
The negative conotation for you does not exist for others. There is no cursing of the music because you got divorced. No bad juju. You didn't ruin the song, thank goodness.

We walked down the aisle to Storybook Love by Mark Knopfler. I think the recessional was Walking on Sunshine ... maybe, and our first dance was This Year's Love by David Gray
