The Wedding March
Queen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's called the wedding march
The grace that it takes, the grace you deserve,
Require a lighter touch
I know you love dancing.
Oh, I know that you love dancing so much
I know you love dancing.
I can't adjust to the way that you move
Music's a wild thing whatever the groove
Some music isn't for dancing
One dance whose steps I never could learn
It's called the wedding march
The grace that it takes, the balance and poise,
I still find a mystery
I know you love dancing.
So, I know that you'd hate dancing with me
I know you love dancing.
So, I know that you'd hate dancing with me

Hi Emily, just wondering if you got married yet? If so how did the music choice go down? If you're not married, then remember your promise to the internet! :-)

My girl is a huge Queen fan so we had this song as the wedding walk-in song. Our walk-out song was "Always look on the bright side of life". Both were epic :D
@coryspang7548
You have a good taste in music. I'm planning on using Always Look In The Bright Side of Life for my funeral and my partner's funeral
