    We used the same second reading! I think Ubi Caritas goes nicely with that one. We used the Durufle one but we had a choir.

    We had the same second reading except thru verse 21 :)  Good choices!

    Ditto ringpop on Ubi Caritas... it fits very well for either preparation of the gifts or communion hymn.  Did you check the music thread below for recommendations?  I don't think there's a sticky for it yet.  My selections are in my bio under the Planning />Wedding Mass section as well as a link to my parish's music suggestions/sound clips.  Organ is the primary means of accompaniment at my parish, so that affects the songs available for the liturgy.

    What sort of accompaniment/singing is available for you?  That would probably be a good guide for your song selections.  Lalaith and doctabroccoli are both very experienced in this liturgical music stuff, so they can probably provide some good insights!

    I think I've asked you before if you knew what music books they use at your church, lol.  Also, yes, are we talking organ or piano here?  And how many vocalists?  Any other instrumentalists?

    May I also suggest Covenant Hymn by Rory Cooney & Gary Daigle... it's contemporary, but very pretty.
