Would this be appropriate, or no??

Would that be crazy and inappropriate or would it be ok and kind of neat? I don't want to do anything tacky, but that one song we both really love and think it would be kind of neat during the ceramony
I dunno!!! What do you guys think?

Well let me make you feel better. Do you know Kamoze Ini - 'Here comes the hotstepper'? This was played while the best men came out at a friends wedding, because they all had cool purple vests on and were i think band members of the church lol

You can play whatever you like

Thankyou for all of the input everyone!
I appreciate it! I am really leaning towards using it but i'll wait a little longer before we make an absolute decision

It's probably more appropriate there

We've already got our song for our first dance picked out (our favorite one) "Heaven" - Bryan Adams....so we're planning to keep that one for our first dance
If we don't use the scorpians song in the ceramony -we'll definitely use it somewhere during the reception though- but i'm leaning towards using it in the ceramony as it's just kind of "magical" sounding to me and i think it'd be perfect for my bridesmaids to walk down to. I will walk down to a traditional piece after the scorpians song ends.

I'm planning to walk down the isle to the traditional bridal march. I was thinking of using the Scorpians song for when the groomsmen come out and the bridesmaids walk down the isle. Once the song ends, we'll go back to traditional music for my flower girl and i

That's a heck of a good song. If you take a few bars of the intro, then get someone to make you a nice clean edit into the back half of the song, where the band kicks in strong, you'd be catching the best of the lyrics for the purpose, I think.

It's a great choice -- and a lovely sentiment!

The poll is already closed, but I'm going to throw in my 2 cents worth anyway. I LOVE that song, and I think it will be fine but I would suggest fading it out before the guitar starts. Or, better yet, can you find an instrumental version? If the lyrics are meaningful to you, you can print them in a program if you are handing them out. I'm just thinking what would sound best with the wedding intro you will be walking down the aisle to.

But, I agree. It's YOUR wedding! You do it how you want it and enjoy!!

Even though I'm a boring traditionalist, I read the lyrics, and listened, and think it's a lovely song!

I don't see anything in the lyrics that would offend anyone. I'm thinking perhaps just use the instrumental version; in your wedding programs, you an cite the song title (and even perhaps print the lyrics, if it's that important).

Heck, when one of my brothers got married, circa 1980, they got married in her parents' backyard (which sounds far grander than it really was). They had a tape player playing, "Once, twice, three times a lady" as the bridal march! (And the now EX-bride turned out NOT to live up to the song, sadly.) I have to admit, and don't wish to offend anyone who likes the song, I thought the song was tacky for that part of the wedding. I've always felt that if you have to try to PROVE that you're a lady, you've answered your own question (in the negative)! I do, however, think my B chose it, meaning well, as he was so much in love with her.
