I'm thinking I would like the guests to hum 'here comes the bride'. I want them to participate, it's funny and it should keep me from crying.
I was at my friend's wedding last summer and the musician they hired didn't show up. The groom came down the aisle and said "we ask that you all hum a song for Julie as she comes down the aisle. I believe you all know it. It goes dum dum da dum".

It was a fantastic moment and totally memorable!

At our wedding, I walked down to "All I Ever Wanted" by Jim Brickman. The story behind it was a long, complicated one... I'd originally heard the song as a MIDI on a website, long before I was ever engaged (or even thinking about it), and said then, "I'm walking down the aisle to that song." I saved the song to my computer and moved along.

 

Years later, when I was getting married, I went back to the website to find the song... and found they had changed all of the music! The computer I had saved it to was long, long gone, and the song was instrumental so I couldn't even Google lyrics for it. I had nothing to go from - no title, no artist, no lyrics. I looked for another song, but nothing fit like that one did! I was so crushed.

 

Finally one day, I was going through old data discs in search of an essay, and... there it was. I had backed up that old computer on this disc, and the song was right there!

 

We are debating for our vow renewal what to walk down to. I think we'll walk together to "Babe", which was our first dance song.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
