So I've been reading through the various posts on here and a couple other areas regarding ceremony music..and have a list of some stuff I like..but am looking for a bit more help. they will all be musical without vocal accompanyment
I'm catholic..but am getting married in my fiance's church..which is lutheran..the rule for music is it must praise god, etc. so pretty traditional.
Looking for some ideas for music during my ceremony..I'll include what I'm thinking...it'll have to get approved by the pastor..but I'm thinking my choices should get approved.
prelude- Ave Maria, the prayer, wind beneath my wings
processional- jesu, joy and man's desiring (bridal party),
canon in d (me..if church approves it)
recessional-the wedding march (maybe)

    The only one I see that is not a sacred piece is "Wind Beneath my Wings" which is very much a secular piece.

    The other pieces wil, I think, be just fine.  (I'm a church organist, although not in a Lutheran church)
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    thanks..i know the music is kinda all over the place..it's so hard picking out music from their church. yeah i was reaching with that song. i might see if the organist knows any songs that my catholic church plays..im sure theres probably some overlap.

    Catholics and Lutherans aren't all that far apart.  If they don't like "wind beneath my wings" look into "on eagle's wings"  it's been done by artists such as Josh Groban and Michael Crawford if memory serves me well.
