Ceremony music help!!!

It's not common but it's a thing.
Proofs here:

And you can tell her that if you're having a "ceremony singer", your marriage won't be nullified because of that and you + your spouse to be won't get arrested either!

Are you asking if it’s wrong to have the song you walk to have lyrics?

We are having songs with vocals during the ceremony. There aren’t rules you have to follow. You can choose whatever works for you.

You can play whatever music you want. My processional was orchestral but the song I walked down the aisle to had a vocalist. It is very old school/traditional to have no vocals in your ceremony music.

Maybe that was the case in generations passed, but nowadays you can definitely have music with vocals! I’d say at the weddings I’ve attended lately, it’s about a 50/50 split on whether the ceremony music had vocals. Weddings now are more about personalization and making them reflect the couple, and not about following the “rules” of weddings in past generations. So definitely don’t worry yourself about old school “rules”, superstitions, etc. - just create the wedding you love and that reflects you as a couple! 😊

You can do whatever you want If you're having a more traditional/ religious ceremony then it may be the norm not to have vocals, but unless your ceremony venue outright says they won't marry you if you use music with vocals then you can totally do it. I've been to weddings that used vocals, some that used instrumental versions of songs, and some with traditional instrument-only music. Totally your call!

All of the weddings I’ve attended in the last 10 years or so have had vocals with their processional and recessional music. It’s really up to you what you want to do. We are having songs with vocals.

Our processional and recessional music all had vocals - we used:

U2's "Beautiful Day" for the parents

Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher" for officiant, groom, and GM

The Beatles' "Something" for the BMs

I entered to Iz's "Over the Rainbow'

We recessed to Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours"

If you're getting married in a church, then there may be different rules, but otherwise, do what you want. PPs are correct in thinking that your mom likely got married/had more experience with weddings, when people generally used instrumentals only.

I was just talking to a friend of mine about this, and she was saying how she had to have some challenging conversations with her parents about her wedding and choices (which I am doing now). It's you and your partner's wedding, and it should be about your love.

Never heard of superstition being involved. It’s completely personal preference and neither is right or wrong. Do what feels right for you because others have either already married or will do so in the future their way.

You do you. If you want music with lyrics... choose music with lyrics. I've had to have a few conversations (nothing major) with my parents about how I'm doing things different. They don't quite understand why I'm not doing this and not doing that, but they're just so happy that I'm marrying a wonderful man that they're on board with everything!

Hi how are you? There are no dos and donts.. It's your wedding and you should exactly what it is you want to do down to the very last detail. Even if it's not the traditional thing to do, well, SO BE IT! the details of your wedding should be unique and all bout you and him!!!!

I think if this is something you want then go for it! I haven’t heard of anything superstitious that goes with that. I think it would be pretty and different. I think that we (Brides) want to add some originality to our weddings lol. I say if the song is appropriate and meaningful to you do it!

This is a new trend now I will what ever type of music I want. We will have a song with lyrics to walk down. This is not our parents or grandparents times lol lol. I like that fact that it will have a twist up beat tempo. I so hope that you make your wedding about you amd your FH and not to please mom
