Last week the future mister and I sat down to watch Shutter Island. Has anyone else seen it? Kind of creepy and, well, creepy movie = creepy music.
Imagine my surprise when a song started playing that I associate with weddings:
Max Richter - On the Nature of Daylight
I don't think it's a very popular song, but I first heard it on our videographer's website (click on Enter Gallery to watch a short clip). There's just something about it that fills me up with emotion. Sigh.
So, naturally, I want to find a way to incorporate this song into our ceremony. I always thought I would walk down the aisle to Canon in D, and now I'm torn. Here are the three options I've come up with:
1. On the Nature of Daylight - during the seating of guests; Canon in D - Bride's entrance
2. On the Nature of Daylight - Processional; Canon in D - Bride's entrance
3. Canon in D - Processional; On the Nature of Daylight - Bride's entrance
Which option do you think I should choose?
They are both very deep, moving pieces, but I personally like the classic Canon in D for the bride’s processional, since I find it to be more beautiful in the melody. In the end, it's totally up to you, though!
ReplyDeleteI think you should choose something happier. That song is beautiful, but it sounds more like your mournful to be getting married. Not a very pleasant feeling. However it is your wedding, you should choose what seems right to you.
