Well, hello there, young’uns! Let’s gab a bit about them marryin’ tunes, the ones they play when folks get hitched in them churches. You know, the contemporary Christian wedding music. It ain’t like the old days, lemme tell ya. Back then, we just had that organ pumpin’ out them hymns, and that was that. But now, oh honey, they got all sorts of fancy singin’ and strummin’ going on!
So, what kinda music are we talkin’ ‘bout? Well, it’s gotta be somethin’ that talks about love, sure, but also about God and blessin’s and all that good stuff. These young folks, they want somethin’ that feels… well, I guess they call it “relevant.” They don’t want no dusty old songs, they want somethin’ that makes ‘em feel… somethin’. You know what I mean?
One thing’s for sure, you gotta have music for walkin’ down that aisle. That’s a big moment, see? The bride’s all dolled up, lookin’ like a princess, and everybody’s watchin’. You need a song that’s slow and pretty, somethin’ that makes folks wanna cry a little, happy tears, of course. I heard a fella singin’ a song once… somethin’ ‘bout bein’ “Always Yours.” Yeah, that was it! “Always Be Yours” by some fella named Scott Drury. Real sweet song, real purdy. It talked about lovin’ someone forever, just like God loves us. That’s the kinda thing you want for that aisle walk, somethin’ that says, “I’m stickin’ with ya, through thick and thin.”
Then, after they say their “I do’s,” you gotta have some music for when they walk back down that aisle, but this time it’s gotta be happy! Somethin’ that makes ya wanna clap your hands and stomp your feet! I ain’t too sure ‘bout the names of them fast songs, but I hear ‘em on the radio sometimes. They got them guitars a-janglin’ and them drums a-bangin’. It’s all about celebratin’, ya know? Like, “Hooray! They done got hitched! Let’s eat cake!”
And don’t forget the dancin’! Oh, them young’uns love to dance! After all the serious stuff, they wanna let loose and have a good time. Now, for dancin’, you need somethin’ with a good beat. Somethin’ you can tap your toes to. I remember hearin’ one song, somethin’ ‘bout not stoppin’ a feelin’. I think it was by that Justin fella, the one with the curly hair. Yeah, “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” That’s it! That’s a good one for dancin’. And then there’s that other one, “Uptown Funk,” makes you wanna get up and move, even if your old bones are creakin’!
- For walkin’ down the aisle: Somethin’ slow and pretty, talkin’ ‘bout forever love. Think “Always Be Yours.”
- For walkin’ back: Somethin’ happy and joyful, celebratin’ the big day.
- For dancin’: Somethin’ with a good beat, makes you wanna move! Think happy songs!
But here’s the thing, right? It ain’t just about the music itself, it’s about what it means. See, when you pick a song for a weddin’, especially a Christian weddin’, you’re pickin’ a song that tells a story. It’s a story about love, yeah, but it’s also a story about faith. It’s about how God brought these two people together, and how they’re gonna spend the rest of their lives lovin’ each other and servin’ Him. That’s what makes it different, see? It’s not just any love song, it’s a love song with God in the middle of it.
Now, finding the perfect songs, that’s the tricky part. You gotta listen to a whole bunch of ‘em to find the ones that fit just right. And it ain’t just about what the bride and groom like, it’s about what makes the whole weddin’ feel… right. Like it’s blessed, ya know? Like God’s smilin’ down on the whole thing. Finding the perfect Christian wedding songs for your big day is important, that’s what sets the tone, makes it all special and holy.
So, whether it’s a sweet song for the aisle walk, a joyful song for the recessional, or a fun song for dancin’, just make sure it’s got that somethin’ special. That somethin’ that says, “This ain’t just a party, this is a sacred thing.” That’s what makes a Christian weddin’ different, see? It’s the music, it’s the words, it’s the feelin’… it’s all about God’s love shinin’ down on two people startin’ their lives together.
And that’s all I gotta say ‘bout that. Now, go on and find yourself some good music! And don’t forget to invite me to the weddin’!
