Hold it right there!

I have found
THE PERFECT SONG
for my friend's wedding. I was just listening to it
and it made me cry because it is so perfect and lovely
and I can just hear my other friend
(with the LOVELIEST voice)
singing it. I am so excited!!!!
You can listen to it yourself if you want.
Cast your eyes over to the juke box.
It is #3.

Go on.
Listen to it.


I have added some other songs that I find
so fun and amusing
for a wedding. How about "When I'm 64"?
Surely I'm not the first person who ever thought
that would be a sweetly funny song for a wedding.
Not like at a serious part....but you can have
FUN
at your wedding, you know.
My best friend from childhood had "Going to the Chapel"
played during the seating of the mother's at her
wedding. It was great. The world's greatest babysitter,
a girl I love dearly, had "Happy Together" played at the
end of their wedding; she's a great musician and
had written a special arrangement of it herself.
That was really great.
Everyone loved it.
And remembered it.

What about #4 to start playing as
the bride and groom start to walk out?
I know what my parents would say with a big frown:
it says something about getting drunk.
Yes, I know. But it doesn't mean you have to
get drunk if you hear it. It's a cute and fun song
about being totally committed to a person.
It would leave your wedding guests all happy
and tapping their toes.

I still want to hear your ideas and suggestions.
I'm getting plenty of the fun, silly songs on my own.
Imagine that.
But I probably need help picking out a great old hymn
that would be perfect and I don't know the names
of any classical pieces.....I have to hum them to
someone who is better educated so they can tell me
what it is that I am thinking of.
So let me know what you are thinking!


And what do you think of
Grow Old With Me?
I think it's beautiful.

I think it's beautiful too, and it does sound perfect for her.

Does she want a great classical trumpet piece for her processional? Try the "Trumpet Voluntary" by what's his name?? I'm sorry....I think it starts with a "P".
We used the hymn "To God Be the Glory" as a congregation hymn in our wedding. We wanted all our family and guests to have some part in the wedding, so we used it as a piece that everyone could sing!!
