Which song would you rather walk down the aisle to?

Which song would you rather walk down the aisle to?

Im having a DJ do my ceremony. I want something different from the regular wedding music.

Which one do you like?

Also, do you think it would be bad if we started the song while the bridal party was walking down and just continue it for me, rather than starting and stopping music and changing songs?

ETA Lyrics

The First Time Ever I saw Your Face

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart so close to mine
The first time ever I saw your face

At Last

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I've never known

You smiled
And then the spell was cast
Here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last

Annies Song

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

Let me give my life to you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Of the three, I think it would be more dramatic to start 'At Last' right when you're walking in and the bridal walk in to another song. Fits well with the lyrics. But (IMO) those three songs arent very 'walkable' if that makes sense, in terms of the tempo. I was thinking of the song and picturing myself walking in that slow bridal walk pace and it just didn't go together...

I think I am going to use At Last (but a violinist will be playing it) for our recessional.

I tried to post a link but it won't let me.
At w-e-d-a-l-e-r-t.com in the cocktail hour section they have an instrumental version of At Last, I love it!

I voted for At Last cause I love that song. The lyrics are personal to you. I don't know what the other two sound like...but I think that would be beautiful.

I love At Last...just remember that it is a rather short song around 2 minutes to 2:30. So if you start it with your BM's you might not get down the aisle before it finishes...just something to think about
