Alright, alright, let’s talk about them songs for the groom, you know, when he’s walkin’ in to get hitched. My old man, he just walked in, no music, nothin’. But these young folks, they like it fancy. So, what songs are good? Let me tell ya what I heard.
First off, some folks like them old-timey tunes. You know, the ones without words, just music. They call ’em instrumentals. Fancy, huh? Like that “Canon in D” thing. I heard it at my niece’s weddin’. Sounded real nice, real… well, fancy. Made the whole thing feel important-like. That “Wedding March” song is another one. Been around forever, I guess. People still use it, so it must be good, right? These songs, they make it feel like a real serious deal, you know? Like, “Hey, we’re gettin’ married, for real!”
- Pachelbel’s Canon in D
- Wedding March by Felix Mendelssohn
Then there’s them newer songs. The ones with words and all that. My grandkid, she told me about some. Said they’re real popular now. There’s this one, “Kala Chashma”, somethin’ like that. Sounded like a whole lotta noise to me, but the young folks, they love it. They dance and sing along. Guess it’s got a good beat. Makes ’em happy, that’s what matters, I reckon.
Another thing I heard is that the song should be somethin’ special to the couple. Like, maybe it was playin’ when they first met, or it’s just “their song.” That makes sense, I guess. Makes it personal. Like, “Hey, this song, it’s us.” That’s better than just pickin’ any old song, right? My neighbor’s son, he used a song from some movie his wife loved. She cried when he walked in, happy tears, mind you. So, yeah, a special song is a good idea.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. I just listen to what folks say. But from what I gather, you want a song that’s either real grand and important-feelin’, or one that’s special to the couple. Or maybe one that just makes you wanna dance! It’s all about what the groom and his bride want. It’s their day, after all.
And don’t forget, the song gotta be the right speed. You don’t want the groom rushin’ down the aisle like he’s chasin’ a runaway chicken, and you don’t want him draggin’ his feet like he’s goin’ to a funeral. It’s gotta be just right. Somethin’ in the middle, I’d say. Somethin’ that lets him take his time and enjoy the moment. ‘Cause gettin’ married, that’s a big moment, you know?
One more thing. The song, it should be somethin’ happy. I mean, gettin’ married is supposed to be a happy thing, right? So, no sad songs, no songs about breakin’ up. Stick to somethin’ upbeat, somethin’ that makes folks smile. You want everyone feelin’ good, feelin’ the love. That’s what a weddin’s all about, ain’t it?
So there you have it. My two cents on groom entrance songs. Take it or leave it. I’m just an old woman, what do I know? But I’ve seen a few weddin’s in my time, and I know what makes folks happy. And a good song, that’s a start. Getting married, that’s supposed to be one of the best days of your life. So pick a good song, and make it a day to remember.
Anyways, whatever song you pick, make sure it’s loud enough for everyone to hear! And make sure the groom knows the words, just in case he feels like singin’ along! That’d be somethin’, wouldn’t it?
Oh, and one last thing, make sure somebody’s in charge of the music! You don’t want no awkward silences or the wrong song playin’. That happened at my cousin’s weddin’, and let me tell ya, it weren’t pretty. So get someone who knows what they’re doin’ and let ‘em handle it. That way, everyone can relax and enjoy the show. And that groom? He can just walk in, lookin’ handsome, and marry his gal, just like he’s supposed to.
