Wedding Music

Selecting music for the wedding is really not an attribute I can claim to possess adequately. I am so grateful for the internet in many ways and this is one of them.

I googled & googled. Thank goodness for all those great suggestion and Youtube where I can at least listen to samples of the songs. I cannot imagine how I would plan this wedding if I were to marry 10+ years ago (in the age without easy internet connection). Of course, I love wedding music, and there are so many great ones out there. But we only have a limited time. The actual ceremony is only going to be 20-30 minutes maximum. Both Tom and I do not want a dragged out session.

After some thinking, I picked these out. Of course, Tom has no objection at all. I start to think this whole wedding business is really what the brides want and has nothing to do with the grooms.

Attendants Processional……………….Canon in D Major (Pachelbel)
Bridal Processional………………………Bridal Chorus (Wagner)
Unity Ceremony………………………….Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (Bach)

Are they lovely, just listening to them already gets me in the right mood….

As for the first dance, I am going to keep this as a surprise. Tom actually picked this one out. And I think it is thoughtful and romantic. Deep down, this guy is much more romantic and sensitive than face value. Luck out on that part, I certainly did.
