Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Songs to Walk Down the Aisle To

I'm getting married at the end of May. It will be a fairly formal wedding (I'm in a ballgown, he's in a tux) although we're normally laid back, casual people (the formality of the wedding sort of took control). To change it up a bit, I want to go lighthearted with the music. We will be using a string trio for the ceremony and the bridesmaids will be walking down to "Sheep May Safely Graze" by Bach and our walking away music is "Yellow" by Coldplay
I'm completely stumped on what I want to walk down the aisle to. I personally don't care for classical music (ex: Pachelbel's Canon or The Four Seasons) and I would rather go for something a little more modern. I actually wouldn't mind something video game related as long as it's romantic/hopeful but I don't want exclusively video game suggestions. If it was a perfect world, I would absolutely walk down to the end credits of The Wind Waker (which could happen but I'm doubtful)
Also, please no Wagner suggestions. It would not go over well with my family

As much as I love a good laugh, I don't really want to be portrayed as an evil person (plus I'll laugh the whole way and it'll ruin the romantic, mellow sound I want)

Okay, but for some serious suggestions, what kind of bands/groups/solo artists you guys both like? Find the most "ballad" like song and youtube it, guarantee you'll find something good.

That whole soundtrack is pretty good

Best part was hearing a good chunk of people singing the lyrics.
I like alternative music (Muse, Foster the People, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc.) and I'm totally open to using an alt song as long as it can be transformed by a string trio. As for my fiance, he likes the same stuff but it's really my choice. I've been searching all day on Youtube but I've come here in case I've missed something that could be really good
Tox, I'll take more of a listen to the Princess Bride soundtrack
or
they also considered the beginning of Melancholy Hill by the Gorillaz
Me, I'm thinking of J.S. Bach's Prelude from his cello concertos.
You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life.
That'd be my choice. Gigantic is a wedding song for people who hate wedding songs.
Of the bands that you mentioned liking, I don't know that its a good aisle song, but for a first dance I think Green Eyes by Coldplay could be a good one
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
I got married yesterday, and my wife walked to this. It was a big hit with the guests, kept it hush hush so it was a bit of a surprise.
Something like this was, for us at least, a good way to break up the rigidity that's kind of inherent to the setting.
This one feels more appropriate, but also more generic.
This is a nice one that builds momentum - but might get too "big" at some points.
More classical approach -if you have a hired piano player:

There's always this, too:

"The power of the weirdness compels me."
Also, I've only played Oblivion and Skyrim, but the Elder Scrolls games seem to have some really good music, some of which would fit well, I think.
My wife and I used the Throne Room song for our recessional, as opposed to our processional. It worked out pretty well. (throne room scene with the awarding of the medals).

This is very pretty, and has a decent chance of resonating with the nerd crew:
Not sure if this is an appropriate tone for you, but perhaps worth a shot:
Obligatory:
Since you mentioned songs to dance to as well, I always thought this would be a lovely song to dance to at a wedding and am hoping to make it happen when I get married.

I'm going to try and find out if they can work with this. That ranks really high up there (doesn't hurt that I loved the movie)
I'm looking for more first dance songs as well (done by a DJ). Want it to be slow, maybe more modern and relatively short (3 1/2 min or less). Don't want to go video game themed on this
Thank you for all of your suggestions so far. I really appreciate it
