I remember my grandmother talking about her wedding a long time ago, and the one thing she never mentioned was the wedding music. When I asked her about the music she had at her wedding, she got a confused look on her face and said that she had no idea. The church picked it and to her it was just background music.
Times have changed, and today the music is as much a personal statement for the bride and groom as the invitations or the party favours. Even at traditional weddings, more churches are allowing personalized music selections, to appease the new generation of wedding planners.
Long gone are the days when the church would just play “Here Comes the Bride,” during the walk down the isle and pick the sombre music to be played at your wedding.
Everyone knows that the music at the reception is the ultimate expression of personal taste from the bride and groom. At my wedding reception, my wife and I chose a song by 2 Live Crew for the cake cutting music - and I will leave it to you to figure out which song we chose.
Even though the wedding music is a statement made by the couple, it is usually the bride who chooses which song will play as she marches down the aisle. In some cases, the final choice is the result of collaboration between the bride and groom, but when that happens, it is usually a song they both feel strongly about.
