Alright, so, I was tasked with picking out the entrance music for my cousin’s Catholic wedding. She’s a traditional gal, so I knew I had to get this right. This was a big deal, you know? Not just any playlist would do. I wanted that moment when she walked down the aisle to be absolutely perfect, like something out of a movie but, you know, the classy kind.
I started by hitting up Google, just typing in “Catholic wedding entrance songs for bride”. Man, the amount of stuff that popped up was crazy. I needed something that felt right for a church but also super special for her big entrance.
I made a list of all the classics, like you do. There was:
- “Ave Maria”– which is beautiful but I felt like maybe it’s a bit too somber? I don’t know.
- “Canon in D” – This one’s a masterpiece, always a solid choice, elegant and all that.
- “The Servant Song” – this one was new to me, but it sounded pretty.
But then I remembered the “Bridal Chorus” by Richard Wagner. This is the “Here Comes the Bride” song, you know the one. It’s like, the ultimate wedding entrance song, right?
I went back and forth on these for a while. I listened to each one like a hundred times, trying to picture my cousin walking in. I even closed my eyes and tried to imagine the whole scene. It was tough!
Making the Choice
After a lot of thinking, and I mean a lot, I decided to go with “Canon in D”. It just felt right. It’s got that grand, majestic feel without being over the top. Plus, it’s a Catholic wedding, so it fits the whole vibe.
I called up my cousin, told her my pick, and played it for her over the phone. She loved it! Said it was exactly what she was hoping for. I was so relieved, you have no idea.
So, yeah, that’s how I ended up picking the entrance song for a Catholic wedding. It was way more pressure than I thought it would be, but seeing her walk down the aisle to that music, it was all worth it. She looked like a queen, and the music was just the cherry on top. Perfect day, perfect moment, all thanks to a bit of Googling and a lot of heart.
