To Sing Or Not To Sing??

HUnnybabe13 · July 2012

I wanted to know what other brides or anyone in general thinks about a bride singing to the groom during the ceremony. I love singing and both our moms think that it would be a good idea for me to sing to him but im not sure if that would be to strange?? any input would be great.Thank you

NOT

I always, ALWAYS cringe and get that "I'm embarrassed FOR you" feeling when I see this done on TV....I imagine in person it would be a million times worse. Don't do it. I don't care how gorgeous your voice is, the ceremony is not the time and place for your single-lady swan song.

It does look AWish and I always think of that episode of Bridezillas where the bride, Kirsten, made a complete ass of herself singing. She was stressed out all week, lost her voice and sang terribly. I almost felt bad for her.

Don't do it for reasons listed by PPs.

Please don't do this. Even if you can sing like Mariah Carey or Carrie Underwood it is likely going to make guests very uncomfortable. If you want to sing to your new husband, do so privately.

I agree with what everyone else has said too.

However, I have a suggestion. One of my friends is a very talented singer, and prior to the wedding, she visited a recording studio and sang their first dance song. And when the DJ played their song, it was her singing it. He was so amazed, and the whole thing was amazing. That didn't seem AWish, but that could be because she's a good friend and i know he adores her singing.

When I married my late husband 15 years ago, I sang in our wedding, Because he and his parents practically begged me to and because I knew it would drive my mother a little crazy.

Looking back, I wouldn't do it again. It just seems kind of silly and AW-ish to me.

Wowwwwwwwwww, I am going to go against the grain on this one! If you are capable, if you've been put on the spot before to sing and you were able to accomplish it, if your husband adores your voice, if God blessed you with a talent to share with the world, then you do what is in your heart to do! No one can tell you what you should do better than your own heart!

It is a sign of love and it is a thing of beauty! If it pleases you BOTH, then the heck with what we all think! God bless

Glad there is some diversity on this thread, but please allow me to make this a "NO" sandwich. Don't do it! Too awkward for your guests to have to witness. Serenade your FI in private as a wedding gift.

I recently saw a bride singing down the isle :-/ very akward. You will have the rest of your life to sing to your husband. I think its tacky to sing to him during your wedding. Look at this link of the bride singing and imagine yourself as a guest at this wedding. Then make your decision http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKdZJbAZ_4E
