What would be your opinion of a wedding like this?

Question

While I know that this is so not traditional, my bride and I have been considering having the groom (me, obviously) walk down the aisle to a song of my choosing rather than waiting at the alter. When I reach the end of the aisle, give my mother and her mother both a hugs and kiss. Then my best man would join me walking down the aisle to music as well, followed by the bridesmaids and groomsmen and finally my bride and her maid of honor would walk the aisle to the traditional Bridal March (whatever it is called) but we LEAVE the chapel to a song of our choosing.

So far we have these songs selected:

Groom: Godsmack Serenity

Best Man: Godsmack - Spiral

the bridesmaids and groomsmen will be selecting their music shortly

and we leave the chapel to the KISS ballad "Forever"

Answer 1

You know, I've never heard of this before, but I LOVE THIS IDEA.  I think that it would be an awesome thing to do.  Everyone always talks about how 'its the bride's day' blah blah blah, but it isn't not.  It is the brides day AND the grooms day.  And this is one way to reinforce that idea.

Fabulous, go with it!!

Answer 2

sounds good.

Answer 3

That sounds AWESOME!  Ceremonies are becoming more and more nontraditional these days.  I like that people can choose what they would like to do on their special day instead of following specific guidelines, it makes it that much more special.

Answer 4

Thats a great idea. We might do something like that as well. Hope I helped. Congrats and Best Wishes!!!

Answer 5

None of those songs are familiar to me but the idea of each of you coming up the aisle is kind of neat.  I like it.

Answer 6

that's awesome. i think it's fun changing things up a bit. at my wedding im not ever walking down the aisle to the bridal march. my mother-in-law to be is singing a solo. and not to mention my wedding is all in camo! yes traditional weddings are nice. but non-traditional is so much fun!

Answer 7

Hi.  I have actually seen the groom walk down the aisle at two weddings (one being my son!)

The only thing.....if this is a church wedding....make sure you get the music/songs approved by the minister.  There are usually guidelines of what is acceptable.

If this is an outdoor or non-religious wedding....then go for it!

Good luck and I hope you have a beautiful wedding!

Answer 8

Yes, it is different and awesome! Everyone would remember your big day.  The wedding should be about the two of you and your style.  This would be a perfect way of showing that.  I love it!  

The only thing is that I would keep it to three songs at the most... it might be overkil to go over three songs.  One song for you, one song for her and a song for the two for becoming one!

Good luck looking forward to hearing more about this!

Answer 9

It's your wedding, Make it memorable. It is a sweet idea.

Best Wishes!!

Answer 10

I think it is awesome! I am newly engaged and this will be my second wedding my first was traditional and I wanted or we wanted this one to be different. I think your on to a great trend.

I hope you do not mind if I follow your lead.

Any other great Ideas?

Answer 11

Sure.. if that's what you want to do, then you should do it.  I love the KISS song "Forever".. :)

Answer 12

Sounds like a great idea.  As to weddings, there really are no "engraved in stone" rules, so you're free to celebrate your marriage in any way you choose.

Answer 13

Sounds like you want to be a bride, not a groom and all those songs make the procession sound L-O-N-G , more of a production than a wedding. sorry but I've been to far too many weddings where guests are tired out by the time the vows are stated!! Really, guy, you are supposed to be waiting at the altar to receive your beloved. Tradition or not, it makes sense and takes a lot less time than having all those people marching up the aisle to different songs. sheesh. Have you actually timed this epic out?!

Answer 14

I actually think that's a great idea. In my opinion its your wedding so you should be able to do whatever you want. It doesn't really matter what others think as long as you and your fiance like it.

Answer 15

I think that's a GREAT idea!!! It will be very memorable for you both, as well as all your friends/family  

Answer 16

It's a little different, but that's okay. Sounds fine to me. Both of my parents are walking me down the aisle.
