Nice video, but my stomach

Nice video, but my stomach turned just watching the action. Sauerkraut? Ugh!

I also had "Sunrise, Sunset" sung at my wedding, and it was wonderful. My siblings and I grew up with songs from all the big musicals, so it was a good fit. I also had my vocalists sing "One Hand, One Heart" from West Side Story.
One of most beautiful songs I've ever heard at a wedding was one my daughter and a friend sang, the duet "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera. The lyrics are very fitting, and it's an awesome choice if you have the voices to pull it off.
My daughter's also sung Chris Tomlin's version of "Amazing Grace." The arrangement is so beautiful that it's a good choice even though it's not your standard wedding fare.

My husband and I walked out

My husband and I walked out of church to Vivaldi's Spring from the Four Seasons. Not only do I love the music, I found it fitting starting our new life together with a song entitled "Spring".
Of course we also had the ever-popular Canon in D, The Wedding Song (There is Love) and Keeper of the Stars.

I was talking to my mom the other day and asked her if she heard during the 1970s was swinging going on.
Matter of fact from a neighbor who asked her, if she was interested in being in a swingers club. Of course, my mother answer was you got to be kidding.
What did I know, I was only a teenager.

From everything I've heard, this is supposed to be the standard for this year's summer blockbusters but it won't take much given what it has to go up against. Comparing "The Dark Night" to "Hancock" isn't even fair but will the Batman flick have mass appeal or will it lean to closely to the comic books which it came from?

I absolutely adored my fifth-grade teacher and when she got married midway through the school year I was so over the top to find out that I was one of the invited guests!

It was a huge Polish-Catholic wedding in the most gorgeous cathedral I had ever been inside in all 10 years of my life. One of the songs sung at the wedding was "Sunrise, Sunset" from "Fiddler on the Roof." It was the first time I had ever heard it and I loved it (still do).

I sang at the wedding of my boss' daughter, whom I hardly knew, one summer when I worked in a state park -- didn't really seem like I could say no. Anyway, on the upside, the ceremony was only 22 minutes long. The downside? I was asked to sing three songs -- all of them overly earnest and syrupy country love songs -- that accounted for at least half of the ceremony. My payment for being "the wedding singer"? An engraved money clip holding nothing but air.

I'm not bitter about it; I'm just saying, if you're going to give your wedding singer "a gift" for his or her services, it ought to be something besides an empty money clip or an empty wallet (I've also received that one for singing in a wedding). Either pay them, give them a token gift or just say thanks. But don't give them something that says, "Hey, I was thinking about paying you, but decided to give you something that holds money instead."

I also made my "grand entrace" to Canon in D performed on the church organ. We didn't have any "popular" music during the ceremony - it was not allowed by the church. My cousin performed the song "Eagle's Wings" and the congregation mumbled through "Let all Things Now Living" during our exit.

That's the song that I made

That's the song that I made my grand entrance to. It is very simple and elegant.

Pachelbel's Canon (Canon in D Major) was performed on the church organ. It was simple and sweet sounding.

I thought I was bad posting a response back to you on Sunday using a plain old PC.

Oh you are moving over to the dark side, Melissa. All that technology ....

Soon you'll be texting and twittering 24-7!

It is especially exciting because I am writing and posting this from my phone while sitting on my couch on Sunday afternoon.

We had Silver and Gold by Neil Young at our wedding. I thought it was the most beautiful part of the ceremony. The two guys that performed it were amazing. It was perfect! - Thanks, Tom and Derek!
