The Significance of Wedding Ceremony Songs |
|
|
Music is an important part of most wedding ceremonies. The playing of
the music for the arrival of the bridal party has been a long standing
tradition. It is also a popular tradition to have a special song for
the bride’s last walk as a single woman. Music is always played after
the couple has been declared married. This music also follows the newly
wedded couple from the church for their first moments as man and wife.
Wedding ceremony songs can be whatever the couple wants, and they do not have to go with the traditionally used songs if they wished to do so. I didn’t want to use the usual “Here Comes the Bride” tune as I walked down the aisle when husband and I chose our wedding ceremony songs.
This is because I had childhood memories of that song, which often included the addition of words that were not so flattering. I wanted something different and special for my wedding ceremony. My husband and I decided to meet with the organist to choose some less popular traditional songs that were fit for a wedding when it came time to choose our wedding ceremony songs.
However, I was surprised over the emotional state of my husband when we were choosing wedding ceremony songs. You see, he’s not usually openly emotional about anything, and he often bottles things inside. I was never bothered by this because he is pretty much the same as most of the men I have known in my life.
The organist suddenly played a song I didn’t want when we were listening to some of the wedding ceremony songs we were considering. I was in disbelief when I saw tears flowing from the eyes of my husband-to-be. He explained that he always imagined me walking down the aisle towards him with that song playing. I was overruled, and we ended up using that song because I knew how much it meant to him.
You can choose not to go with traditional songs when it comes time for you to choose your wedding ceremony songs. The Internet is full of suitable songs that you can use for your special day. Your organist or pianist may have suggestions for you with regards to wedding ceremony songs. Take as much time as you want in making your decision and find something you both like.
