    ROR Future & Past Brides....What song did you walk down the ailse to?

    in Jamaica Accommodations & Site

    Posted

    Ok...here's how mine is going to go:

     

    I will have a mixed CD that will play different love songs for the guests while they are being seated and waiting.

     

    The minister will be followed out by the groom and bestman to: Brian McKnight- Crazy Love...the song will play while they stand up there until the bridal party is ready....The bridal party will then come out to Eric Benet & Tamia- Spend my life with you...that song will play until they roll out my aisle runner. Once they do that, my ring bearer and flower girl will proceed to the tune of Mary J Blige- Give Me You ...followed by yours truly!

    I havent chosen our recessional song yet, but it will be something upbeat and happy like: Step in the name of Love or something like that.

    I have officially changed my song as well...my bridal party will walk to Eric Benet & Tamia-Spend my life with you (that's as of this second...lol)

    I'll be walking down to Mary J. Blige- Give Me You.

    I'd say that the bridal party song should maybe be slightly upbeat from yours...your song should definitely be a little more dramatic...but this is coming from the drama princess herself...lol... gotta have a song that says "Hey look at me...look at me!! "smile159.gif lol

    Ceremony:
    Greeting & Opening prayer- Given by Minister
    Blessing of the hands
    Courtney, please face T.K. and hold his hands, palms up, so that you may see the gift that they are to you.

    These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness. These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow and tears of joy. These are the hands that will comfort you in illness and hold you when fear or grief fills you. These are the hands that will give you support and celebrate with you in your accomplishments.

    T.K., take a look at the position of your hands with Courtney’s and know that this is the last time that you will have the “upper hand.â€

    T.K., please hold Courtney’s hands, palms up, so that you may see the gift that they are to you.

    These are the hands of your best friend, smooth, young and carefree, as she promises to passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness. These are the hands that will hold you tight as you struggle through difficult times. They are the hands that will comfort you when you are sick or console you when you are grieving. These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness. These are the hands that will give you support as she encourages you to fulfill your dreams.

    Our prayer for you today is that both of you will use these hands to build a marriage where all your dreams come true.

    Declaration of Intent
    T.K. do you take this woman to be your wife, and do you pledge your faithfulness to her, in all love and honor, in all duty and service, in all faith and tenderness, to live with her, and cherish her, according to the ordinance of God, in the holy bond of marriage?

    Courtney, do you take this man to be your husband, and do you pledge your faithfulness to him, in all love and honor, in all duty and service, in all faith and tenderness, to live with him, and cherish him, according to the ordinance of God, in the holy bond of marriage?

    Asked to Congregation:
    Will you bless this couple, encouraging them in Christ’s love, in faithful prayer and loving service, according to the ordinance of God, as a family of believers celebrating and sharing in His grace and love?

    Exchange of Vows
    Bride and Groom will share personal vows they have written.

    Exchange of Rings- Repeat after minister
    I give you this ring as my pledge
    That I shall cherish you with all my heart and soul from this day forward
    in the name of the Father; and of the Son; and of the Holy Spirit.

    Engagement Ring
    The engagement ring is a symbol of promise and intention. Now the intention is realized and the promise fulfilled. TK, please place the engagement ring on Courtney’s finger over her wedding band to symbolize that the love that brought you together will always protect and sustain your marriage.

    Sand Ceremony
    "Today, this relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand one, representing you Courtney and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, and the other representing you, T.K., and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be. As these two containers of sand are poured into the third container, the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, but will be joined together as one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage be."

    Closing prayer/Benediction-Given by Minister

    Declaration of Marriage
    Having declared your love and commitment before God and these witnesses; having given each other rings symbolizing the purity and permanence of your commitment; by the authority vested in me as a minister of Jesus Christ, I declare Courtney and TK are now husband and wife according to the ordinance of God, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Whom God has joined together, let no man put asunder. Amen.

    Presentation of the couple
    Mr. and Mrs. T.K. Johnson

    Recessional

At first, I was going to just purchase the fabric and try to make the runners myself, but I was already a bit overwhelmed, so i just decided to have them make it. The cost was reasonable also. I got 18 runners made for $175 bucks!!!

    geat to know...thanks a bunch

    ROR Future & Past Brides....What song did you walk down the ailse to?

    Thanks Bobbi! I wanted to walk down to Brian McKnight's "Still in love", but my cousin, who previously got married walked down to that song, and she will be at the wedding, so I think that I will walk down to Jill Scott "He loves Me", but I don't want the sound system to sound weak.

     

    oh since I am not having a wedding party, his parents are walking down the ailse first, then both of my parents are walking me down, (I am the only child), do you use the same processional song for everybody?

     

    It depends...since there's no wedding party i figure you might as well otherwise the song will only play for a few seconds...but if you want a song all to yourself than I say go for it!!
