Majority of people who are getting married put a lot of time in choosing the music that will be played during their wedding ceremony. Traditionally, a song is played to welcome the bridal party, there is a special song as the bride marches to her soon to be husband waiting at the altar. Another jubilant song is prepared for the official proclamation of their being husband and wife, which will be played from the wedding place to the wedding party.
As my fianc and I had to make a selection of songs that will be played in our wedding, I was positively sure I would like to march in another tune than "Here Comes The Bride". I clearly remember that as a child, we use to make fun of this song and add different funny lyrics into it. Besides, I want something distinct and upbeat. So we met with our organ player to discuss with her our choice of music for the wedding.
It came as a shock to me when my fianc who was normally unaffected by such things nor openly comments on a lot of matters suddenly became touchy regarding this decision. We listened to some of the wedding songs we were supposed to choose from and of course, the organist played that song.
An Unexpected Emotional Reaction
My future husband's reaction to all these was quite unexpected. Just like most of the men I know, he does not offer comments or show reaction about a lot of things. He just observes and keeps pretty much to himself. When organist played the repertoire of music we were to consider, she also naturally played "Here Comes The Bride".
Much to my surprise, tears sprung from the eyes of my husband-to-be and he blurted out that he always imagined me walking down the aisle towards him with that song playing. With a few tears, I was overruled, and we ended up using it because I knew how much it meant to him.
This Is a Lifetime Choice, So Take Your Time
There are thousands of songs to select from. The internet, your friends and your organist can give you some innovative ideas. You should pay attention your fianc's reaction to of all this considering that he is the other half for which all this preparation is intended for.
