This past Saturday turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous day for an outside wedding! The ceremony was located just outside the 18th green of Pine Lakes Golf Course in Washington, Illinois, under the shade of several trees. Other than a bit of strong wind, the couple couldn’t have dreamed of a better day for their October wedding.
For the seating of the grandparents, the song “Falling Slowly” was selected. The wedding party entered to “Canon in D.” For her entrance, the bride selected “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts. Before the ceremony began, the couple honored those who couldn’t be with them to share in their ceremony, by having the grandmothers light lanterns that would later be used to light the unity candle. During this time, I played the hymn “Be Thou My Vision.”
The music selected for the unity candle ceremony was “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” Once the couple was announced and the first kiss was had, the bride and groom exited to the Styx song, “Come Sail Away.” Their getaway vehicle was, appropriately, a golf car sporting a “Just Married” sign!
For outdoor and indoor weddings, the harp is an excellent choice. If you would like more information about having harp music for your Peoria area wedding, visit my website, Peoria Wedding Music.
