Wedding Songs

Divine classical wedding songs for the processional

The ceremony is an important part of the wedding which lasts between 1 and three hours. In my opinion, it is also the most beautiful wedding moment because now, not only your family and your friends are witnesses of your love, but also God who is ready to hear your love promises, your vows, your plans and desires. Nowadays, a ceremony can be the most wonderful memory regarding the wedding especially that now churches approve music during ceremony. The ceremony is composed by three important parts: the prelude, the processional and the recessional.




The goal of my article is to remind you what means the prelude because is the longest part of the wedding and also I’ll try to suggest you some wedding songs for processional, which is the moment when the bride and the bridal party make their entrance. The processional is also composed by many parts, being opened by a prayer or a reading. Usually, the prayer or the reading sets the tone of your wedding so it’s up to you how you’d like your wedding to be: maybe elegant or serious, sentimental or funny.

Nowadays, not only a priest can officiate your ceremony, but also one of the best friends of the couple. The processional may also include reading from literature or Bible,  poetry or even readings from bride’s personal diary. During the processional, the attendants or witnesses must sign the wedding certificate or marriage license. This part of the processional is called declaration of marriage. But, among all these parts of the processional, there are others too. I told you that the processional is the longest part of the ceremony. Other parts of the processional are: the exchange of rings, called also the eternal symbols of love and mutual commitment, wedding vows, the definition of marriage (the moment when the officiant says few words about how important and solemn is the marriage), a first kiss as married couple, the introduction of newlyweds and the closing which can be highlighted by a poem, a prayer or the final thoughts of the officiant or of your best friend.

It is ideal to include also an Unity ritual during ceremony such as candle unity, water or sand unity which means that you and your husband had unit your destines. The music is the most beautiful option which can emphasize all these parts of the processional. You can hire a choir and ask them to learn some of your favorite songs or simple, you can opt for classical wedding songs for processional.
