Okay, so, my buddy was getting hitched, and he asked me to help him pick out some tunes for his grand entrance. I’m no wedding expert, but I know a thing or two about music, so I said, “Sure, why not?”
First off, we started brainstorming what kind of vibe he wanted. Did he want something classic and elegant, or something more upbeat and fun? He wasn’t sure, so we decided to explore both options. We spent a whole afternoon just listening to different tracks. It was kind of fun, actually, like being DJs for a day.
We checked out some of the usual suspects, you know, the classics. “Canon in D” and the “Wedding March” were in there. They sounded nice, very…wedding-y. But my friend, he’s not exactly the traditional type. We listened, we nodded, but we knew deep down, those weren’t “it.”
Then we dove into some more modern stuff. We jammed out to some Abba, because who doesn’t love “Dancing Queen”? That got us moving! For some reason, “We Are the Champions” by Queen popped into my head, especially if he was walking in with his groomsmen. It’s got that powerful, “we did it” feeling, you know?
- “Dancing Queen” – Abba
- “We Are the Champions” – Queen
- “Unchained Melody” – Righteous Brothers
- “Runaway” – Del Shannon
- “Where Do You Go?” – No Mercy
Then there was “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers, a total classic for a couple’s love song. We even threw in some old-school Del Shannon with “Runaway,” just for kicks. It’s got that cool, 60’s vibe. If he was really feeling the lovey-dovey stuff, I told him to look into some John Legend. That man knows how to write a love song! And for a pure dance-floor filler, we considered “Where Do You Go?” by No Mercy. Remember that one? Total banger.
After hours of this, we finally narrowed it down to a few options. It was tough! We made a playlist, played them over and over, trying to picture him walking down the aisle to each one.
In the end, he picked something totally unexpected, but it fit him perfectly. I won’t spoil the surprise, but let’s just say it wasn’t on our original list. It was a good reminder that sometimes, the best choice is the one you don’t see coming.
The Takeaway
Picking the right entrance song is all about matching the music to the person and the moment. Don’t be afraid to mix it up, try different things, and most importantly, have some fun with it! It’s a celebration, after all.
