jgavigan3376 · May 2010

It thought it would be really helpful to see everyone's music choices. I'm trying to finalize all the music/song choices this week. Would you mind sharing your ideas for:

processional/recessional:
songs/hyms during the ceremony:
first dance:
father/daughter dance:
mother/son dance:
*any other music ideas

Thank you so much! Looking forward to seeing everyone's selections!

I'm not really helpful with songs during the ceremony. We're only having one song during the unity candle, and that's it. We're mostly having readings.

processional/recessional: Hornpipe, by Handel and La Rejuoissance by Handel
songs/hyms during the ceremony: Sunrise, Sunset (performed by my aunt and FI's father
first dance: a song written and recorded by my FI and me
father/daughter dance: Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle
mother/son dance: On This Day (recorded by FI and his dad)
bouquet toss: I Enjoy Being A Girl by Doris Day
garter toss: Fever, as performed by Michael Buble
anniversary dance: L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole

All of our music, except the prelude, slideshow and recessional, will be played by acoustic guitar.

I Loved Her First (Heartland)

Processional:
"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" while the boys light the candles,
"The Parent's Prayer" while the families are being seated,
"For the Beauty of the Earth" while they're unrolling the aisle runner
"Canon in D" for the WP
"Trumpet Voluntary" for dad and me.

Ceremony:
"The Doxolgy" for the congregational hymn,
"A Page is Turned" (Bebo Norman) for the slideshow,
"Love Never Fails" (Brandon Heath) for the Cord of Three Strands

Thanks for all the ideas!!!!

Here's what I have so far:
*FI's aunts and uncles are playing the ceremony music. They play the cello, french horn, classical guitar, and violin.

processional: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
recessional: not sure yet

songs/hyms during the ceremony: I would like to have a solist during the ceremony, but I haven't convinced FI. Plus, we're not doing a unity candle or anything else that would lend itself to having a song sung. I'd like "In Christ Alone" to be sung to signify that God is the head of our marriage. Either that or "More Than Enough." We might incorporate some hyms to be sung by the guests.

first dance: "Love Never Fails" by Brandon Heath

father/daughter dance: "Never Alone" by Lady Antebellum

mother/son dance: not sure yet!

Parents & Grandparents - Parent's Prayer
Pastor/Groom/BM, Bridesmaids & Groomsmen, RB's - Who I Am (Vitamin String Quartet)
My Entrance - Bridal Chorus (a more contemporary, beachy feeling version)
Unity Candle - Only God Could Love You More
Recessional - Love Story (Vitamin String Quartet)

Prelude/seating of parents/processional for BMs: our pianist is composing a compilation of our favorite hyms

Processional for me: the hymn "Of the Father's love begotten," more or less

Songs/hyms during the ceremony: "Christ be my leader," "Lord, when you came as welcome guest (about the wedding at Cana and marriage)," "Go, my children, with my blessing," and "We praise you and acknowledge you, O God." All hyms.

First dance: I'm still not sold, but FI loves "If I Didn't Have You," by Randy Newman (from Monsters, Inc) It's a good tune to swing dance to.

Father/daughter and mother/son dance: I think the plan is for them to choose, but they might not want to. Maybe "My Wish," by Rascal Flatts.

Bouquet: "Single Ladies," by Beyonce.

Garter: James Bond theme

Cake: Something contemporary and sweet, maybe "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Callait

Anniversary: either something classy, Frank Sinatra-esque or "Fifteen Years," by Five for Fighting.

Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman is my father daughter dance, and then other songs we like are Only Hope by Mandy Moore (from A Walk to Remember) and Everything About You by Darlene Zschech.

How fun! And you all have great choices!

processional/recessional: Processional: Canon in D Recessional: 'Grow Old With Me' by John Lennon
songs/hyms during the ceremony: Not having any. We're just having the vows, exchanging rings, and a short sermon. That's it.
first dance: 'Little Wonders' by Rob Thomas. From Meet The Robinsons - first date FI and I went on!
father/daughter dance: 'My Daughter's Wedding Day' by Authur Godfrey. His voice is unusual, but my dad has a very eclectic sense of music. It's totally us!
mother/son dance: To be decided
*any other music ideas See my bio for our full list of music
