Songs That Make Weddings Ceremonies More Memorable
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.
Wedding ceremony songs can be whatever you want, and you don’t have to go with the traditionally used songs if you don’t wish to do so.
When it was time for my fianc and I to decide on the songs for the ceremony, we scheduled a meeting with out organist. I told them I did not want to walk the aisle in the most commonly-used tune of “Here Comes The Bride”. As I a child, I remember how others used to make fun of that song changing the lines into some uncomplimentary lyrics. What’s more, I wanted to use something more to my taste.
An Unexpected Emotional Reaction
My future husband’s reaction to all these was quite unexpected. Just like most of the men I know, he does not offer comments or show reaction about a lot of things. He just observes and keeps pretty much to himself. When organist played the repertoire of music we were to consider, she also naturally played “Here Comes The Bride”.
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.
When it comes time for you to choose your wedding ceremony songs, you don’t have to go with the traditional if you don’t want to. You can find suitable songs all over the Internet, and your organist, pianist, or whoever may have suggestions for you in regards to wedding ceremony songs.
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.
