FI and I are getting married outside on a mountain in Colorado.
We were trying to think of meaningful things to do during the ceremony but most of them are out because it'll just be people, rocks and some bushes haha no table to set anything on, no candles, no flowers, etc. I stumbled upon this idea where instead of having one person sing or read a passage, the whole congregation could join in and sing an old hymn.
Both FI and I grew up in church, and we thought it was a really neat idea. I'm just curious have any of you ever seen this? Do you have any suggestions for a good song to sing that most people would know?
TIA!

we're not doing a unity candle, we'll be outside on a national monument so we won't have any tables, candles, etc. we'll also not be handing out programs to avoid trash... but thanks for the suggestion :)

I like the idea of doing The Doxology, if I know that one, everyone else there should know it too lol
Since we're not doing any kind of unity candle or sand ceremony we're trying to figure out how to work it in. We're also not doing programs to avoid the trash and littering (accidentally or whatever).
The song that keeps coming to mind is Amazing Grace haha but I'm not sure if that's what we really want or not :-P
Thanks for your suggestions

perhaps then, everyone can sing a song together. Though it may not be applicable, i remember one christmas mass in church, where the priest brought up the beatles song "when i'm 64" in the homily..... and the whole congregation ended up singing it. haha
As far as lyrics and such -- could you hand them out like a few days before hand, and let people know that you'll be singing a song together? At least if your immediate family knows, they can join in.
