Today, we’re going to be looking at funny wedding walk-out songs. Once the ceremony is over, you’ll want a song that’ll make your exit as memorable as possible.

What Is A Wedding Walk-Out Song?

A walk-out song for a wedding, otherwise known as a wedding recession is when the happy couple makes their way back down the aisle, as their first act of marriage. The guests will go wild and follow behind, and usually take photos and throw confetti. A song is usually playing as you make your exit, and you want to choose something memorable that’ll leave your guests smiling.

How To Choose Your Recessional Song

It’s important that your recessional song reflects who you are as a couple. If you’re naturally both a serious couple, it may not be best to opt for something funny. Something light-hearted or romantic is always a good choice, or something from a Disney film is also a good option.

If you’re a couple that doesn’t take life too seriously, why not opt for a funny walk-out song? After an emotional ceremony, it may be nice for your guests to cry with laughter. Here are some of our top choices.

Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby, I think I wanna marry you”

“I’m never gonna look back, never gonna give it up
 No, please don’t wake me now,
This is gonna be the best day of my life”

“Don’t fight it, it’s coming for you, running at ya
It’s only this moment, don’t care what comes after”

are suited to any wedding and will certainly have all your guests on their feet singing and dancing. Even the younger guests! I know my niece and nephew love The Greatest Showman.
