Hey Ladies!
I've been a bit busy this weekend... and here are the results!
1) We ordered our invitations!!!
2) We have selected our music!!! (Listed below)
Prelude Music (by brass quintet):
Quintet by Kamen
Largo from Dvorak Symphony No. 8 ("New World")
Rejouissance from the Royal Fireworks
Brass quintet version of "Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral" (from Lohengrin)
and a few others still to be decided with brass quintet.
Grandmothers: Evening Hymn from Hansel and Gretal
Mothers: Rondeau by J.J. Moret (Theme from Masterpiece Theater)
Bridesmaids: Rigaudon by Andre Campra (if they can't do it, our second choice is Grand March from Aida)
Bride: Wagner Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin
Vocal Solos (my uncle playing piano with live singers)
"When I Say I Do" (Matthew West) - friend of groom singing
"When God Made You" (Newsong and Natalie Grant) - duet husband/wife singers
The Lord's Prayer (to be sung by a friend of MOB who is a classically trained mezzo-soprano!!)
Recessional: Mendelssohn Wedding March, and Handel's Hornpipe from Water Music
I just wanted to post this here in case you wanted to use any of this. We have taken a lot of time to figure out what we want.
Next on our Check List:

Reception Music!! Gotta start on DJ's list sometime soon.
I'm so glad I can share this with you ladies!! Hope your WR planning is going well too! I'd love to hear about your checks and accomplishments too! That keeps me motivated for sure. :-)
