Question:

We still can't think of a recessional song!

My fiance and I can't come up with a reccessional song. We are trying to make our wedding individualized and personal, so we don't want the typical wedding songs that the wedding websites list. We're having an outdoor garden ceremony. The ceremony itself will be slightly on the non- traditional side. The processional song will hopefully be played on guitar by my brother and will be The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin. It's a beautiful song and very slow. For the recessional, we wanted something more upbeat and happy. It can be intrumental, or with lyrics.

My taste is music is mostly in the rock genre, and his are rock, pop, country,oldies, and pretty much anything you could think of. Thing is, I HATE most pop music. It makes me want to stuff something in my ears. So that's most likely out.

Anyway, could anyone direct me to any sites that could help me out?

Or, does anyone have suggestions off the top of thier heads?

  1. Well, I chose my processional song and then picked a more upbeat song by the same artist for the recessional, so it would kind og blend.  If you are using a Led Zepplin song for the processional, maybe you could find a more upbeat one for the recessional, even if it's just the instrumental.  Just a suggestion.

  3. My husband and I were married on Saturday, and we chose this as our recessional. We sort of stumbled across it... it's the opening song in Boondock Saints, called Blood of Cu Chulainn (not the most romantic title, I know. (-:). We skipped down the aisle (that was totally spontaneous and it just fit with the song). I don't know if you have any Irish heritage, but this was a huge hit--people even asked the name so they could download it.
