Planning your bridal entrance song? What ever happened to the bridal march (i.e. “Wedding March” by Felix Mendelssohn)? Well, the fact that it was written in the 1840s may suggest that modern brides are starting to find it a wee bit stale. If you do like the original wedding march though, don’t forget that there are infinite versions and remakes that aren’t so gloom-and-doom sounding with the pipe organ (my fave is this heavy metal version).
