Today, I want to talk about choosing the right Christian songs for a wedding recessional. It’s a big moment – you’ve just said “I do,” and now it’s time to walk back down the aisle as a married couple. That feeling is pure joy, and you want the music to match, right?
So, I started by thinking about the kind of vibe we wanted. Something classic and timeless? Or maybe a bit more modern and upbeat? For a traditional feel, you’ve got those beautiful pieces like “Canon in D” or “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” I listened to both, and man, they give you chills. They’re just so grand and, you know, wedding-y.
But then, I started digging a bit deeper. I wanted something with lyrics that really spoke to us as Christians. I browsed through a bunch of playlists, read through forums, and even asked some friends for their suggestions. You wouldn’t believe how many options there are! It was a little overwhelming, to be honest.
I made a shortlist of songs that had a good balance of being joyful and having meaningful lyrics about faith and love. We listened to each one together, imagining that moment of walking out of the ceremony. We paid attention to the tempo, the instruments, and, of course, the words.
- I played “Canon in D” first. Oh boy, the elegance!
- Then I tried “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” – equally beautiful.
- We even checked out some contemporary Christian songs for a modern twist.
After a lot of listening and discussing, we finally landed on a song that felt just right. It’s got that joyful energy for the recessional but also lyrics that reflect our faith and commitment. I won’t spoil the surprise, the couple want to keep it a secret until the big day! Trust me, it is good!
The whole process taught me that choosing the right music is super important. It’s not just background noise; it sets the tone and adds to the emotion of the moment. And for a Christian wedding, it’s a chance to express your faith as you start this new chapter together. It is a nice choose to do.
From picking the recessional song to planning the reception playlist, it’s all about finding music that resonates with you. There are so many beautiful Christian songs out there, it’s just a matter of finding the ones that fit your style and tell your story.
