Planning a vow renewal ceremony requires considering what music to play during the ceremony in addition to the reception. You haven’t been a bride for quite sometime, so it’s not exactly appropriate to play “Here Comes the Bride”! However, there’s plenty of other fantastic love songs to choose from when walking down the aisle. Take how long you’ve been together into consideration, as well as what songs are “your songs” as a couple. Here are some of our favorite wedding aisle songs you can use for your renewal.
Everything I Do (I Do For You), Bryan Adams
The love theme to the 1991 movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, this beautiful song always tops “Most Romantic Tunes” lists and features a lovely melody that’s just slow enough for a nice little aisle walk.
