Does anyone know of a good song that can be sung during the wedding ceremony?

Question

I am having a hard time finding a song to have sung at my wedding that my church will approve and someone else in my family hasn't already had sung at their wedding... I'd love some suggestions...

Answer 1

Ave Maria

Answer 2

First I would suggest setting up a meeting with your musicians and asking them what they reccomend. There are a lot of very pretty songs in the hymnals.

You didn't mention what type of church but I am an expreienced Catholic music minister and can reccomend the following songs:

How Beautiful - Twila Paris
Your Song of Love - Bob Fabing
May Love Be Ours - Timothy Dudley-Smith/Dan Schutte
Covenant Hymn - Gary Daigle
Bridal Prayer - Copeland

Here are some sites that may help:

Answer 3

we used the new Big & Rich song while lighting our unity candles. it was different because most people wouldnt play a song by the same people who sung Save a horse ride a cowboy at their wedding, but we did. (and by the way we had a very formal ceremony not some redneck one). but this song is very sweet and brought tears to every eye. you can find the lyrics anywhere online!

Answer 4

"A Page Is Turned" - Bebo Norman, excellent contemporary Christian/folk singer.

A page is turned by the wind to a boy in curly grin
With a world to conquer at the age of ten
But as history unfolds and the storybook is told
He finds salvation but not at the hands of man

And the God of second chance
Picked him up and He let him dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, preparing him, the one
To hold him up when he comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And now a man, here you stand
Your day has come

A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl
With a heart that's bigger, as it is unfurled
By the language in her soul, that's teaching her to grow
With a careful cover of love that will not fail

And the God of second chance
Picked her up and He let her dance
Through a world that isn't kind
And all this time, preparing her the one
To hold her up when she comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And grown up tall, here you are
Your day has come

Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by his hand
And warm within the ardor, she took his heart instead
And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand
Just for her hand

A page is turned in this life, he's making her his wife
And there is no secret to the source of this much life
When the grace that falls like rain is washing them again
Just a chance to somehow rise above this land

Where the God of second chance
Will pick them up and he'll let them dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, they're sharing with the one
That holds them up when they come undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And once again, here you stand
And once again, here you stand
Your day has come

Answer 5

Glory of Love
Till I loved you
I Cross My Heart
Love Of My Life
For You
On Bended Knee
