Live Poll: Wedding March

@Pencho15​ ,

Thanks. I can't believe I misspelled Pachelbel without noticing.

6 Pachelbel's Canon in D Major

@Peter,

I'm at 35 choices.

I replaced

30 You and Me

with

30 Can't Help Falling in Love

Can't Help Falling in Love is perfect a Los Vegas wedding.

Maybe this one:

With the Wedding March of Mendellsohn.

@Breumaster​ ,

I'm at 35 choices. I will have to think what to replace.

Maybe this one:

I'm sorry. I'm just a little exhausted by Covid at the moment, so maybe my choices and actions might be a little incoherent. I suffer from it since tuesday and it didn't get better since then. I hope it reaches its peak fast and gets better then.

@Breumaster​ Breu, I hope you recover soon.

@Breumaster​,

I'm sorry to hear you have COVID-19. I hope you recover soon.

I've replaced:

28 Marry You

with

28 Mendelssohn's Wedding March

Thank you, Dan and Pencho. It turns real bad at the moment.

@Jessica​ ,

Thank you for catching the misspelling of aisle. I've correct the spelling in both the list and in the first post of this thread.

By the way, a very silly television commercial was my original inspiration for this poll suggestion:

Thank you for your feedback. The opening reads much better with your suggested edit.

I was wondering about whether to include 'Star Wars' themes at the beginning of the poll. I moved them down in the list as you suggested. I was rather surprised how well each of the 'Star Wars' themes work as processionals and that they were suggested by sources I mention above. Originally, I only thought of The Throne Room and End Title, which has the general feeling of Mendelssohn's Wedding March and Water Suite: No. 2 in D Major.

I'm really happy how well this poll came together and am delighted how well pieces of music work as bridal processionals. Maybe someone getting married in the future, may be inspired by the list.

@Pencho15​,

Thank you.

Initially, I was surprised that the Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme) so far is in first place, until I realized that the demographics of the people taking the poll tend to nerdy and young (at least based on which  polls are more popular). My personal favorite is Pachelbel's Canon in D Major followed by Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.

Yes, Dan, Bach is also very dignified all times I hear his music. So the procedure would be very  dignified, too. It's a pity that less and less people like the old masters, some were really outstanding genuisses. I'm really open for mostly all kinds of music. And there are surely new styles which I like, not only rock and rap. But the details of classic music are mostly always far beyond all the refrain-driven tracks.

I once met the editor-in-chief of a German music journal. And he was a classic lover far beyond myself. He stated that "... Bach is god, Mozart the biggest and Beethoven ..." ... in fact I lost what he said about Beethoven, it surely was positive, but what I never lost was the order he stated. And by hearing all three of them, I somehow understood what he wanted to tell me. But for me, Beethoven rules! His Fifths Symphony is the best I'd say I ever heard! And I mean not only the first movement - all of it!

@Breumaster​ ,

I hope you are feeling better.

When I entered "Bach is god, Mozart the biggest and Beethoven" into Google one of the results I get is "Bach gave us God's word. Mozart gave us God's laughter. Beethoven gave us God's fire. God gave us Music."
