Songs That Make Weddings Ceremonies More Memorable
Most people choose to include music in their wedding ceremony. It has been a long standing tradition to have music for the arrival of the bridal party, and also to have a special song for the bride’s last walk as a single women. There is always music that is played after the couple has been declared as married, and this music follows them from the church for their first moments as man and wife.
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.
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
I cannot believe my eyes when I saw him crying real tears while saying that it has been his dream for them to be marching together down the isle with that song in the background. Of course, what can a girl do. If it meant so much to him to the point of crying, I had to change my defiant stance.
What happened next was really unexpected as my fianc felt so bad about my decision not to use this song that he actually cried. He said that he had often envisioned the two of us finally marching down the isle while that song is being played. Of course, my heart went out to him and I had to give in.
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.
