Grooms, it's been a longstanding tradition for the bride to walk down the aisle to a song, most popularly "Here Comes The Bride." But what about you? To what song would you want to walk to down the aisle?

Definitely NOT "Here Comes The Bride" (big, fat & wide)! Actually, my church's Choir Director and her husband the organist composed a brand NEW song for my wedding. Neither my husband nor I heard any music (and 56 years later we still have no idea what it sounded like). Story of our lives :)
