“As soon as the doors opened and the music began to play, I whispered to my brother, “I’m about to cry.” It was in that moment that I fully realized my chosen bridal entrance song was not only a declaration of my personal commitment to my soon-to-be husband and marriage, but it was a true reflection of who I desired and professed to be as a Christian woman.” -Marva
I’m sure you will agree, the bride’s entry is one of the most highly anticipated moments of a wedding. It is a visually stunning moment that signifies the beginning of the wedding ceremony. It is a significant and emotional moment when the bride is revealed in all her beauty. The guests are eager to lay eyes on her bridal gown,
…and nowadays, eagerly await to hear her entrance song.
Long gone are the days of the traditional “Here Comes the Bride” as the sole option for the bride’s entry. Many couples are choosing songs that hold personal significance or reflect their unique style, taste, or personality. The song choice sets the tone and enhances the overall theme and atmosphere of the wedding ceremony. The right song can create a sense of anticipation, romance, and emotion, making the moment even more special.
By now you have probably guessed that I did NOT choose “Here Comes the Bride”! The song that carried me down the aisle 37 years ago was “God’s Woman” by Brenda Nicholas,
