I hate decisions!
So we're coming to the home stretch of wedding planning! I stayed home sick from work, so I decided to take care of ceremony music. We're trying to stick to classical music that isn't too traditional bridal. I can find a lot that I like, but now I can't narrow it down.
FI's idea of classical music is Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, Lord of the Rings, and anything from Final Fantasy. He's obviously not a lot of help! Although he *jokingly* suggested the Hallelujah chorus for the exit. We'll probably end up doing it because I find it hilarious.
I know in the end its not a big decision. I just want it checked off the list so I can move onto other important things (like ceremony readings).

Re: I hate decisions!
First, anytime you need help making decisions, you can ask us. We are always willing to help!
Music ideas: A lot of record stores offer symphonic & orchestral versions of popular music. Here is one for the Beatles: http://www.amazon.com/Arthur-Fiedler-Boston-Pops-Beatles/dp/B00004KH76/ref=pd_sim_m_1
Or what about something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Most-Beautiful-Melodies-Moonlight/dp/B000002YF5/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1299533214&sr=1-1
And hey....soundtracks can work great. But maybe something more romantic. Personally, I love Edward Scissorhands. http://www.amazon.com/Edward-Scissorhands-Original-Picture-Soundtrack/dp/B000002OFD/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1299533305&sr=1-1
We were totally thinking of having a Beatles music themed wedding Woodland!
Here is my list of music so far. Its pretty much all orchestra and piano, I'm apparently not a brass person. A few of them have special meaning to me as a musician. Oh and I shorted the names of most of them when I wrote them down so they might not be easy to find (if you were actually interested in finding them).
Prelude:
Bist Du Bei Mir - Bach
Concerto - Albinoni
Rhosymedre - Williams
Water Music - Air - Handel
Gymnopedie - Satie
Nocturne - Chopin
Romance - Rubenstein
Sei Lod un Preis - Bach
Concerning Hobbits - Lord of the Rings (for FI)
Girls processional:
Violin Concerto - Bach
Me:
Rondeau from Adbelazar - Purcell (its in Pride and Prejudice and I just love it)
Recessional:
Hallelujah chorus
Love those!!
hi girly!! this is the FUN stuff!!
when i was planning, I found this great webite http://www.myweddingmusic.com/Music/ReceptionMusic.asp
I downloaded instrumental versions of some really great songs to a cd....we used them for our "waiting in the chapel/ prelude" music ".
For ex. we used: imagine, forrest gump soundtrack song, sittin on the dock of the bay, unchained melody, somewhere out there, etc
i walked down to "can't help falling in love" instrumental.
nuff about that.......Good luck ~ you seem so happy! Love it!
