Alright, alright, let’s talk about them wedding songs, the ones for when the groom makes his big entrance. You know, that moment when everyone’s lookin’ and he’s tryin’ to look all cool and not trip over his own feet.
Groom Entrance Songs: Gettin’ the Party Started
So, you need a good song, somethin’ that says, “Here I come, ready to get hitched!” Don’t want nothin’ too slow, unless that’s your thing. But mostly, folks want somethin’ upbeat, somethin’ that gets the toes tappin’.
- Classic Choices: Some folks like that old-timey music, like that Pachelbel fella, the “Canon in D” thingy. It’s fancy, I guess. Makes it seem all important-like. There’s also that “Wedding March” by Mendelssohn, another one of them old-school tunes. Good if you’re into that kinda stuff.
- Fun and Upbeat: Now, if you wanna get the party started right away, you gotta go with somethin’ peppier. I heard tell of a song called “Dancing Queen” by Abba. Sounds like a good one for the ladies, makes ya wanna shake your hips. And for the fellas, or maybe a whole group of groomsmen comin’ in together, “We Are the Champions” by Queen, that’s a real crowd-pleaser. Makes everyone feel like they won somethin’, which I guess the groom kinda did, right? He got himself a wife!
Then there’s them love songs, the ones that make ya wanna snuggle up close. Like that “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers. Real romantic, real sweet. Or maybe somethin’ a little older, like “Runaway” by Del Shannon. That’s got a good beat, you can tap your foot to it.
And don’t forget about John Legend! That fella, he sings some real pretty love songs. Perfect for a wedding, if you ask me. But if you wanna get folks dancin’ right off the bat, somethin’ like “Where Do You Go?” by No Mercy, that’ll do the trick. Gets everyone movin’ and groovin’.
Choosing the Right Song
Now, pickin’ the right song, that’s important. It’s gotta fit the groom, fit the mood. Don’t wanna pick somethin’ that makes him uncomfortable, like he’s gotta dance when he doesn’t wanna dance. Some fellas are shy, you know?
Think about the Groom’s Personality: Is he a funny fella? Maybe pick a song that’s a little silly, a little lighthearted. Is he a serious fella? Maybe stick with somethin’ more classic, more elegant. Is he the kind to show off? Then go big, go bold! The louder the better for some folks, you know?
Consider the Wedding Vibe: Is it a fancy wedding, all highfalutin’? Or is it a more casual affair, a backyard barbecue kinda thing? The song should match the overall feel of the wedding. You don’t want a rock and roll song at a super formal wedding, unless that’s what the couple wants, of course. It’s their day, after all.
Get Input from the Groom (and Maybe the Bride): This one’s important. Don’t just pick a song without askin’ the groom! It’s his big moment, he should have a say in it. And maybe ask the bride too, see what she thinks. After all, she’s gotta listen to it too! They should agree on something that feels right for both of them and sets the tone for their celebration.
Make it Memorable: This ain’t just background music, y’know? This is the soundtrack to a big moment. So pick somethin’ that’s gonna stick in folks’ minds, somethin’ that they’ll remember long after the cake is gone and the flowers have wilted.
- Test it Out: Play the song a few times, imagine the groom walkin’ in to it. Does it feel right? Does it make you smile? Does it make you wanna get up and dance? If it does, then you might have a winner.
- Have a Backup: Just in case, have a backup song or two. You never know what might happen. Maybe the first song doesn’t work out, maybe the groom changes his mind at the last minute. It’s always good to have a Plan B.
Some More Ideas: Now, I ain’t no music expert, but I’ve heard a few songs in my day. Here’s a few more ideas, just to get your wheels turnin’.
For the Cool and Confident Groom: Somethin’ with a good beat, somethin’ that makes him feel like a rockstar. Think Bruno Mars, think Justin Timberlake. Somethin’ with a little swagger.
For the Romantic Groom: A love song, of course! But maybe somethin’ a little different, not just the same old slow songs. Somethin’ with a bit of a groove, somethin’ that makes you wanna sway. Ed Sheeran has some good ones, I hear.
For the Fun-Loving Groom: Somethin’ upbeat and silly, somethin’ that makes everyone laugh. Maybe an oldie but a goodie, somethin’ everyone knows the words to. A song that gets the party started right away.
The Bottom Line: It ain’t rocket science, folks. Just pick a song that the groom likes, that fits the wedding, and that gets everyone in the mood to celebrate. And don’t forget to have fun with it! It’s a party, after all! And remember, it’s the groom’s moment to shine, so pick a song that makes him feel good and lets him make an entrance to remember.
