All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
Ever since we’ve been engaged, perhaps even before, I’ve wanted “All I Want is You” by Barry Louis Polisar to be played as we walk down the aisle after we’re married. (Recessional, I think, in fancy-wedding-speak.) I just think it’s perfect, magic, and, well, awesome.
Imagine being surprised as a guest as that played at the end of the wedding! Somebody singing the song up front! Instruments popping up (banjo? harmonica?) and playing it! Just fantastic.
We have a little problem, though. Our church, on the handout thingy they gave us when we booked the date, clearly states, “No secular music.” Way to rain on my parade. We might be able to get around this, if we beg hard enough, or so I hope.
Has anybody else had the secular/non-secular issue with ceremony music?
