Use Music toSet Your Wedding Apart

I'll admit I'm prejudiced.... I've been involved in music most all of my life.

For those who are interested in making your wedding stand out. Music can represent who you are as individuals and as a couple.

Most folks go with pretty traditional music. Same tunes at the same times. Those who add a little more include a singer or some strings. Same songs ....bigger budget.

For most of us (again I'm prejudiced,) music is the soundtrack of our lives. We identify with some tunes as a couple and many as individuals.

Using your own soundtrack you can customize your wedding music in a lot of different ways.  Add a mix of traditional and the music that reflects the mood you want to create, the jubilation that you feel, "your songs" as a couple or however you want. Use your dj, musicians or a capella singers to perform your music plan.

This doesn't have to be expensive. Most folks know some singers and musicians that could be pressed into service.

Listen to the words of modern songs just to make sure they reflect what you are looking for not just the feel. Need an example?  I had a couple who used traditional music throughout the ceremony. After I pronounced them husband and wife I introduced them to the attendees. Quietly building as they stood for the applause, " I thought love was only true in fairy tales, for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me (heh, heh, heh, heh....that's the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted All my dreams.
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

I thought love was
 
More or less a given thing
The more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain

And then I saw her face
 
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

Surprise then smiles....and a memory everyone at the wedding will remember every time they hear the song.

Want your wedding to stand out? Have a music plan.

    Rev Charles "Max" E. Million D.D., D.M., PDM, RHy, T.Th

    I am a complex individual. A little unconventional. I am unusual. Usually. I have been asked about what some perceive as incongruity in my choices of ministry and music. There are plenty of other examples of musicians who have gone into the ministry. Richie Furay, Al Greene, Wayne Cochran and David Krock (another member of the Heywoods,) and many more. Perhaps we've seen the dark side and are making up extra credit. Perhaps ministry and music are not really that far apart.
