Proposals and Vows

We’re all familiar with the Wedding March, music used to seat the family members, processional music both pre and post-ceremony, but what about music during the vow reciting process? Music is an important element of any celebration and can be employed during vow recital. If you are musically inclined, you can celebrate your love by singing together, but, since most of us don’t have a record contract or work as a singer for our day job, there are other ways.

If you will be reading your vows into a microphone, consider playing a soft piece of classical music to help enhance the reading. Alternatively, at the end of a vow reading, you may choose with your fiancée to have a selected song played that describes your vows to commitments you have to each other. Immediately the Nsync song “This I Promise You” popped into my mind. Of course, so did the Aladdin theme song, “A Whole New World” did too. You can use the music to continue playing while you light a family unity candle after the vows are spoken; should you be participating in a ceremony with children or step-children.
