Music For Civil Weddings
 
Are you having a civil wedding ceremony? Do you fancy walking down the aisle to Abba rather than Beethoven? Does the idea of a classical accompaniment to your nuptials make you feel uncomfortable and 'proper'? Never fear, Wedding Guide is here.

Choosing the right music for your civil ceremony is a completely personal decision but some couples feel restricted by traditional classical music or love songs. When picking your tracks, think about the meaning of the lyrics, see if it is associated with an advert or for a TV programme that isn't appropriate for a wedding and whether you want upbeat, slow and smoochy or amusing music as your aural memory of the day. Although a wedding is a serious event there is no harm in having a bit of fun w ith your ditties, but Tammy Wynette's D.I.V.O.R.C.E may be somewhat inappropriate!

With the help of several Forumites and lots of off-key singing at our desks, we have compiled a list of over 100 suggested tracks from various styles of music including pop, easy listening, instrumental, film and TV soundtracks to inspire you.

Do remember that whatever music you choose must first be agreed to by the Superintendent Registrar:

Instrumental
If you prefer instrumental music then you may well find instrumental versions of your favourite songs. Here are a few non-classical recommendations for instrumental:
  • Aspects of Love - Love Changes Everything
  • Phantom of the Opera - All I Ask of You

    For Fun
    It is not necessary to have smoochy love songs to express your feelings for each other, why not up the tempo and have a lively, fun song that is bound to put a smile on your face and dry up your tears of emotion?
