You've probably got your walk down the aisle covered — the song that will be playing, the order of the processional, even the person who will walk you toward your beloved. But have you thought about your trip back up the aisle? Well, once you seal your newlywed status with a kiss, it's important to start your happily ever after (oh, and your reception) off in style. Not sure what to do for your big exit? Here are seven spectacular ways to shut down the ceremony.
