Songs That Make Weddings Ceremonies More Memorable
Nov 10th, 2008 by Dane Masters
Almost everybody makes music a part of their wedding ceremony. It is a common practice to play music as the bridal entourage arrives and an exclusive song for the lady as she walks towards her future husband waiting at the altar. Then another song is performed following the official announcement of the couple’s matrimony and this song is continuously played from the church to the wedding reception. Music that will be used for the ceremony does not have to be traditional. It can be anything that the couple chooses, especially songs that might have some memorable meaning for both of them.
There are the time-honored traditional wedding songs, but the couple could choose not to use them. Actually, they can select whatever songs they want, especially if these bear certain significance to them.
Traditional, But, Less Popular Choice
An Emotional Reaction
What I didn’t count on when choosing wedding ceremony songs was the emotional state of my husband. He’s not usually openly emotional about anything, and he often bottles things inside. This never bothered me because he is pretty much the same as most of the men I have known in my life, both family and friends included. When we were listening to some of the wedding ceremony songs we were considering, the organist also played the song I didn’t want.
Much to my surprise, tears sprung from the eyes of my husband-to-be and he blurted out that he always imagined me walking down the aisle towards him with that song playing. With a few tears, I was overruled, and we ended up using it because I knew how much it meant to him.
This Is a Lifetime Choice, So Take Your Time
Do not rush your choices and it will be ideal if both of you can agree on the repertoire. Observe your fianc, as he might like a specific song included or is averse to a certain type of music, and you should, of course take his choices into consideration.
