Recessional Wedding Ceremony Music
Have your say! You’ve kissed your husband, you’ve been pronounced husband and wife… cue the applause and recessional music as you make your happy exit!
How much time to allow:
One song is usually enough time for you to make your exit, followed by the bridal party, and your parents.
