Wedding Music – Planning
for your Big Day
• Recessional – Now man and wife, the newly-weds parade their marriage
down the aisle as they leave the ceremony. Some couples like to repeat their
processional music, either with the same or a variation of the first, whilst
other will pick a love song or another piece that represents them as a couple.
• First Dance – This is likely the most important piece of music during the
day, given that it is the first time a new husband and wife stand up together
as newly-weds. This song often has a very special meaning for the couple
though with more and more couples choosing to post their dance on the
internet, more imaginative, funny dance routines are being done to the tunes
of classic films and popular songs.
• Daddy Daughter Dance – And of course, something of a new tradition in
modern weddings, the father-daughter dance is usually an emotional dance
where a daughter gets to say a figurative goodbye to the man in her former
life for the man in her new. Once again sentiments vary, but popular choices
include songs about fatherhood and loving one's papa.
