Thread Name: Wedding songs for 2nd time around!
Subject: RE: Wedding song for 2nd time around!
Okay! I think it's settled!

The groom's daughter will play harp music prior to the wedding

The soloist will sing, "Someone Like You"

The bride's two children and spouses will walk in with the minister

the bride's two grandchildren will walk down the aisle as a junior bridesmaid and ringbearer, respectively

The couple will walk down the aisle together

The nuptials will take place

The soloist will sing "One Hand, One Heart" as a benediction

The newlyweds will leave the church (and if I can find the "statement" I heard at one wedding, there will be no music for the recessional, but the minister will intone, "Wither thou goest, I shall go....whither thou lodgest, I shall lodge....thy people shall be my people (etc., etc.)" (from the Book of Ruth)

The first dance for the reception will be "Keeper of the Stars" (we think) and the second dance will be the bride with her son and the groom with his daughter and they will dance to, "Always" (the chorus only, of course) Next dance will be for guests to join in and we haven't gotten that far for a song selection, but that should be a piece of cake after all of this!!!

THANKS to one and all for your help and input! Much appreciated!
