Need Opinions!

Hi Knotties!! I'm 5 days away from becoming a Mrs. and we had our ceremony music rehearsal, but I wanted to change the song for the recessional. As of now, we have "The Wedding March" (which I ALWAYS hated) and I really would love to use Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" (aka "9th Symphony"). My soloist feels it's too "Easter-like" (it is used during Lenten and Advent season, I believe) and it doen't have enough 'pomp and circumstance'. Since it's a Catholic nupital mass and 98% of my guests are Jewish, they're not going to notice. I really love "Ode to Joy" and it brings a smile to my face, so I want to use it. Opinions needed on this one!

if YOU love it and it makes you smile, to heck what the lady says. Go for it.

I think if you love it, that's all that matters.

are you paying this soloist???

Use the one YOU want, love ... it's YOUR day! Down the road those who wanted you to use a different song will not even think about it and you will always think back and wished you would have used the one you wanted. One vote for ODE TO JOY! lol

I had to pay the soloist and the ceremony musician (they were not included in my church 'donation').
