[net.music] Request for Wedding Songs-Followup

cjc@mhuxm.UUCP (06/22/83)

Way back in the beginning of March, I submitted an article to
this newsgroup requesting suggestions for songs that could be
played in church (Lutheran) during my wedding ceremony.  Well,
the wedding took place on May 29, and everything was beautiful.
The two songs my husband and I finally picked were:

1.  She's Got A Way, by Billy Joel - this was played just
before the processional and by a male friend accompanied by
a guitar.

2.  You've Got A Friend, by James Taylor - this was played
just before we said our vows to each other and by a girl
friend of ours accompanied by a guitar.

The highlights of the ceremony were ones we will never forget.
First, I got nervous saying my vows, and instead of saying,
"...I pledge to you my love and trust," I said, "I pledge to
you my trove and lust!"  Even our pastor had to purse his
lips on that one.  Then, someone wrote the word "
HELP" across the soles of my husband's shoes so that when
we knelt down at the altar we heard a lot of whispering and
giggling from the congregation and couldn't figure out why!

Anyway the main purpose of this article is to thank everyone
who mailed me suggestions directly and to those who posted
suggestions on the net.  You made the decision a lot easier
and the choices many.  Thanks again.
