I want to use contemporary music for my wedding ceremony, is that acceptable?
I plan to have my bridesmaids walk down the aisle to “Waiting on an Angel” by Ben Harper, and then I want to walk down the aisle to “At Last” by Etta James. For the recessional, after we’re pronounced husband and wife, I want to play “I Feel Good” by James Brown.
I’m so tired of the classical wedding music…it seems like people are just going through the motions and playing songs because that’s the tradition. However, some people have said that playing contemporary music will make the guests feel uncomfortable.
What do you think? How would you react if you went to a wedding and heard the songs listed above instead of “Cannon in D” and “Here Comes the Bride”???
I’ve asked the groom for his thoughts on everything and he’s not much for opinions unless it’s something important like what kind of food and beer we’re serving. 
It’s your wedding, so you can do whatever you like! If you and your soon to be husband are outgoing and “non-traditional” anyway, your guests probably won’t be surprised. I went to a wedding last year where James Brown was played after the ceremony and it actually went off well…all of the guests laughed. The songs you are wanting to play are not distasteful by any means, so I think they would be fine. And I love “At Last”…my husband and I danced our “first dance” to that song! Enjoy the day and play what you want!

While director Joel Schumacher’s film turns on his typically ambitious visual verve, its new film soundtrack recording has been paradoxically focused in sc… |
