If 2010 is your year to get married, meaning that you have officially been proposed to already, then congratulations. But now the clock is ticking until the date of your wedding which means there isn’t a moment to spare. If you are having a Catholic ceremony, you really don’t have time; the music planning alone is confusing enough. So here is a little help.

First and foremost, you will need a little prelude music. Usually couples choose to have classical music played at this time. If you are going to us a CD player, then you can simply buy a classical CD of wedding music. If you are hiring live musicians, then you can just let them know that you would like classical and traditional wedding music played. Common songs include: “Canon in D”, “Air on G String” and “Trumpet Voluntary”.

The following is probably the most important song for the bride: the song she will march to. This song is supposed to be a religious song, but some priests are more lenient and will allow a non-religious, non-classical song to be performed. Check with the priest first, however, before you make any decisions. It is popular to choose “Here Comes the Bride” as a marching in song, however, the original context of this song is really inappropriate so another song should really be chosen.
