I am in the midst of writing our wedding ceremony, and J mentioned that if I could fit it, he would really like to have someone sing something. Where does this "fit"? Between readings, vows, lighting candles? I'm at a loss.

I'm a church organist, and I usually play a piece that I can gracefully bring to an end when the couple is done lighting and has stepped back.
I'd recommend a song before the service starts, OR immediately after your vows. Another possibility is, if it's a church wedding, to have an arrangement of the Lord's Prayer sung in that spot, rather than having the congregation say it.
If it's a Catholic ceremony, and you're giving flowers to the Blessed Mother, you can have a song during that, or during communion.
I will have two songs sung before... one before anything happens, and another is what my parents granparents, and friends walk too. I will also have another one after we light the unity candle, me and shane will be kneeling twoards one another while a song is sung.
