We had two violinists (one of whom also played the piano) doing all our ceremony music...it was so pretty and the violins really made me want to keep a classical feel to everything!

Hi Rachelle! How did "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" sound on the violin? I really want that song while I'm walking down the aisle and my cousin is an awesome violinist so I was thinking of having him play it. However, I have only heard the Josh Groban and Celtic Woman version of it...LOVE it but wasn't sure how it sounds on the violin solo. Please let me know! Thanks, Catherine

I've spent almost all night downloading songs on these threads and if Tom will go for it I think I will walk down the aisle to that version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and back together to Some Great Heights. Thanks for the input or I never would have known these songs existed!

tami - the postal service has a relatively newer song called "be still my heart"...it's such a cute song! you probably wouldn't play the entire thing, but at least the 2nd half.

Tami-

Also, there is a very pretty, slow version of "Such Great Heights" done by Iron and Wine. Might also make a good processional if your choices don't work out.

Fabulous! I'm up all night doing laundry and packing for my Boston trip, so I doubt I'll even go to sleep before I have to be at the airport ... so I'm downloading those now and will listen on the plane! YEA!!!

We ended up using "The Air I Breathe" by Teena Marie which is such a romantic love song, I'm teary eyed just thinking about it.

 

I can email it to anyone who wants to hear it...it's on one of those hard to find albums.
