    So I really wanted to walk down the aisle to at last by Etta James. We have a gospel choir booked and I thought it could be fab. But my mother laughed at it and thought that given I am in my late 40s it was hilarious. I am really hurt but it’s ruined it for me. So looking for alternatives. Any suggestions????

    Not sure how’d work with a gospel choir but my wife walked in to an instrumental of the Beatles here comes the sun.

    Actually I should have said the same. Although I don’t know the song you should do what you want.

    I had the exact same thought.
    Go with it OP, I bet it would be lovely with a gospel choir.

    Don’t mind your mother. But would you not be a bit better with something more up tempo? Here Comes the Sun is more like it.
    You’ll be at the alter rails and the choir won’t have got to the end of the first line
    “At last......................my love has come along”.
    Unless it’s a very long aisle and your walking very slowly.
    That’s why the wedding march is still so popular.

    Do not make decisions based on other people's opinions. Go with what you want. I would have laughed right back if someone thought my song choice was silly, because there was no way in hell I would have even contemplated changing it. Go with what you want.

    But it is funny to use a song called 'At Last'. Doesn't mean it's the wrong choice. Have a bit of a sense of humour and go with your choice.

    My sister had that song as her first dance - both of them heading for 50 lol
    Have what you want OP. Not sure though how it would sound with a Gospel Choir - she had a gospel choir too but I think the entrance was played on a CD (can't remember what it was but it was slow). I know we (bridesmaids) had an instrumental on a cd too.

    I walked down the aisle to The Story by Brandi Carlisle. Absolutely loved it!
