Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

I was just reading the latest Bride magazine and they had a little IN/OUT section. They said a new trend is using songs with lyrics for a processional .

I think I LOVE this idea. Is anyone doing this? If so, what song(s) are you using?

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

I am!!!!

I will be walking in to a song named 'Even if' by Angelo and Veronica

Hi reception hall twin. I went to an outdoor wedding where the bride walked into 'come away with me' norah jones. pretty!

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

I was thinking of 'I'm ready' from Bryan Adams

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

We did this.

BP walked in to 'Out Of the Woods' by Nickel Creek, and I walked in to 'The Luckiest' by Ben Folds.

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

My BP will be walking in to From This Moment by Shania Twain, which of course has lyrics.

When I walk in the song will be switched to Forever in Love by Kenny G, without any lyrics.

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

I would love to do this but that's a definete NO NO in the catholic church.

How about From this moment (Shania Twain)?

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

yes, we are going to do this but I don't know to what songs yet.

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

i want to do this too.. just deciding, i love norah jones and come away with me is awesome, i also was thinking bout using at last by etta james, for when i walk down.

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

I want to do this too, or at least use instrumentals of songs but I don't think the church will go for it. Boo!!!

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

I'm pretty sure if you ask, you can use the insturmentals of the songs in church.

My FH and I don't want songs with lyrics, but we do want to use something from Trans-Syberian Orchestra, a rocked out version of some classical music.

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

We're actually doing ours to 'I Will' by The Beatles. We're having the guitarist and vocalist from our jazz quartet play for the ceremony and that song was on their regular playlist, so I chose that. Turns out they have done it for some other ceremonies!

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

'everything i do i do it for you' bryan adams'

yeah you have to run it by the church. when i met with the priest, my church was specific (strict) about what music you can and cant play.

AFAIK, the church is pretty strict.

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

I did! I walked in to At Last and walked out to I feel Good by James Brown!

It was awesome!

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

My BP is walking in to 'Forever' by R. Kelly
I'm walking in to 'I feel good' by Stephanie Mills

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

BP still undecided which song

I'm walking in to 'I Will Love You' by Fisher.

Re: Using a song with lyrics for the processional?

Our church is allowing us to play whatever music we want (thankfully). For the processional, in particular, we are having our BP ealk into Signe/Eric Clapton and I'm walking into 'Here Comes The Sun/Beatles.
