Ceremony questions

[Ember]

My dear fiance plays piano, and just asked if I thought he might be able to play as I walked down the isle. At first I thought it was a wonderful idea, but after thinking abou it I'm not sure it would work. I haven't decided on the ceremony location yet and I'm not sure how they would get a piano to some of the locations, anyway. (I'm considering sea breeze point and would LOVE some more pictures of it if anyone has any they'd be willing to share.)

Anyone ever heard of something similar? Or have any ideas on if it would even be possible?!

I am not sure if that is something that you or he would want. I would think that he would want to admire you and make that once in a lifetime connection as you walk down the aisle and not concentrate on a piano! What about having a CD or digital recording of him playing a song that you really want and have that played if you don't want a violinist or such (I am pretty certain that they will not allow piano's on any outside/theme park wedding site, but I could be wrong!)

i know at the yacht club gazebo they can provide a keyboard & keyboardist, not quite a piano. as for your fiances idea i think its sweet.

I think that's a wonderful idea, however I think he should be able to enjoy the moment of seeing you in your dress walking down the aisle. Maybe having him play a song at the reception would be a nice alternative.

Personally, I would let someone else play the piano while you walked down the aisle! You don't want that once-in-a-lifetime moment watered down at all becuase he's bust looking at the keys or sheet music!

Additionally, I have doubts Disney would let their pianos outside. We are using the one in the Yacht Clib function spaces. In that location, we must pay a reasonable tuning fee ($200.00). You're more likely to end up with a keyboard I would think.

What about him playing for you during the reception? Pre-reception? Rehearsal dinner? Brye played Beauty and the Beast for me as a first year anniversary at Contemporary... no one bothered him there while he practiced or played for me. May be a better option?

Thanks for the thoughts all! Him focusing on the piano and not me was my first thought, too. But I didn't want to use that as my reason for saying "no." His playing has always been a big part of our lives. It's part of how he expresses his feelings and I figure he thought this was a way to show me how much he cares. It was a very sweet thought and I promised I'd ask to see what other people thought.

I think it would be loveley if he played but im not so sure that as your walking down the aisle would be ideal. I think the reception would be nice - or prehaps during the ceremony!

If he wants to play, let him!! BUT, not as you walk down the aisle. You both will be too nervous at the beginning. Get the "I Do's" out of the way and then let him do a meaningful number at the end - when many people do the unity candle or mom's flower presentation, etc. My SIL decided she wanted to sing and did it at the end of the wedding - she still got too choked up to finish the song! But it was really sweet....
