A woman claims she has been left fuming with her parents as they want to pull £5,000 in funding from her daughter's wedding over her choice of music, as she wants the Champion's League anthem to be her aisle song.
The bride and groom are both huge football fans and so want to honour that in their ceremony by walking down the aisle to the classical piece called Zadoc the Priest which is featured heavily in the European Champion's League football tournament.
But the mum feels the bride and groom should stand their ground against the grandparents as it is a lovely piece of music and it is important to the happy couple.
In the Mumsnet post, the mum, who remained anonymous, explained: "Football-mad daughter and fiancé plan to have the Champion's League anthem as they walk down the aisle.
"Please be aware that this is an adaptation of classical piece Zadoc the Priest. It is not a here today, gone tomorrow pop song."
The Champion's League is a European-wide football tournament that pits the best clubs from many of the countries against each other to find a winner. This classical piece of music is featured as the anthem as the players walk out onto the pitch at each game.
She adds that it is a lovely piece of music which is very appropriate, in her view, for a wedding, but her parents do not think so.
"My parents (daughter's grandparents) are aghast. They had volunteered £5k towards the wedding and are (vaguely) threatening to withdraw it.
"Nothing explicit (yet) but lots of comments about the music. Am I being unreasonable to think daughter and her fiancé should hold firm with their choice of wedding music?"
In response, many have sided with the mum and feel it is an appropriate piece that is also important to them.
One person wrote: "You need to explain as diplomatically as possible to your parents that a gift should only be made without strings and if they can’t give the money freely then sadly you will have to find £5k elsewhere."
While another stated: "I’ve just listened. It's fabulous and very apt. Says something brilliant is happening. I've never heard it before."
A third penned: "Very pedantic to threaten to withdraw the money contribution from the grandparents over the aisle music."
