Ian was chatting to a recently-married couple last week, and they mentioned that their “entrance music” at their wedding was Primal Scream’s “Get Your Rocks Off” – which we thought was really funny (and original!). So today, as part of our Irish Life competition, we asked our listeners to text in what “walk-in” music they had for their weddings – and some of their suggestions were brilliant! If you’re getting married in the future, you might want to make a note of some of these tunes. Here are some of the texts, with the Top 5 included at the end.
Ian, we had Gangnam Style for our entrance song and the place went mad! Keith in Dundalk
At a wedding 4 years ago they played the Darth Vader tune from Star Wars. Dun dun dun dun da dun dun da dun... Brilliant! Greg Starr in Tipp
My friend had the theme song to the Muppet Show! She loves Miss Piggy. Deirdre in Fairview
My video man put the theme song for 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' on our video when we entered the hotel. Don't know which I was supposed to be! Karen Devlin
Cotton Eye Joe! We danced into our barn reception meal, and it just set the tone for a great day and night!
Hi Ian- my name is Adrienne and my husband is Adrian. So we made our entrance music "The A Team" - yup we are the soldiers of fortune!!!!
We had the theme of Malcolm in the Middle as we walked into the meal. Was brilliant but it was barely head over d screaming and cheering of 200 people!
