Music - Ceremony

Can't believe that it's been a year already.  We just pasted our 1st anniversary and yet the memory is still vivid.  I always like to play a telepathical game with my hubby called: "Guess which song is in my head?"  And in these days it was "I see the light" from Tangled, which is one of the music during our ceremony when we were lighting the marriage candles. I love this song especially after hearing the piano cover on youtube from this talented young man:



The process of selecting music in our ceremony is surprisingly time consuming.  But we were all super happy with our final list.  It's all about putting personal thoughts into it.  I scrubbed a bunch of music list from all kinds of online sources, make a 1st round list.  Each of us listened to every one of them and ranked them seperately.  Picked out the top 20 as our 2nd round winner.  After our prilimilary list came out, queuing them together and play each of them back to back to see if the transition is smooth enough.  I bet that not many people really noticed what music eventually was played in the ceremony but music is definitely something that could easily bring you back to your childhood when you were riding the it's-a-small-world ride, to your high school prom of your last dance, to the miserable summer that you have to cram for your exam.  Like how I remember those sweet moments at Wayfarer's Chapel.

Here's our final list of music in ceremony.  They were all played in piano by our musician from the chapel.  One thing that we definitely noticed that we picked mostly classics.  Like your love with each other that shall last forever.
