What will be your processional and recessional songs? We're going with the very traditional pick of Pachelbel's "Canon in D" for the family and bridesmaids' entrance, followed by the similarly traditional Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" for my procession, and we're ending with the ultimate classic of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" for the recessional.
However, we've added a very special twist to these traditional tunes — all of the ceremony and cocktail hour songs will be played on a grand piano by a young man who I was once a nanny for and have kept in close touch with ever since, making the music a very special part of my big day. I've even convinced him to study some Britney Spears sheet music to play once the cocktails are flowing!
What will be your first dance song? We've always thought of Shania Twain's "Still the One" as "our" song since it was the theme to our senior prom and because the lyrics are so relevant to our relationship. However, we're a little worried it might come off as cheesy, so we're also considering some Frank Sinatra classics for our first turn on the dance floor as husband and wife.
