When troubles come and my heart burdened be.

A major factor in choosing wedding music lyrics for the reception is the wedding theme. Of course, you don’t want to go choosing wedding songs that are contradictive to the otherwise romantic and formal wedding motif and theme that will spoil the celebration. If you and your partner just don’t care enough, then by all means, you can pick avant-garde type of wedding music lyrics. But you must also consider other people, especially elders.
Three general types of wedding music are:
· Traditional wedding music – this is the type of wedding music that has been heard all through the years and most popular in the olden days. Mostly, you will hear this type of music in the church or in any other venue of the wedding rite. Slower and softer music are typically the kinds that are provided with the “The Wedding March” song topping the list. Religious songs are another form of traditional music.
Nowadays, traditional music is not the lone type of songs that you will hear in the wedding ceremonies. But there are couples that don’t ignore the essentiality of this certain music most probably because they feel the incompleteness of their big day without its presence. With this matter, if you are going to incorporate more modern wedding songs into your wedding but do not want to exclude traditional ones, make sure that you have decided enough on what part and how much of the songs are going to take place.
Some traditional wedding music include:
the "Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin by Richard Wagner often used as the processional
the "Wedding March" from Felix Mendelssohn's incidental music for the Shakespeare play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, often used as a recessional
the "Toccata"from Charles-Marie Widor's Symphony for Organ No. 5, also used as a recessional.
Avant-garde wedding music – this is the unconventional type that usually people with stark difference in their personalities prefer to infuse in their wedding ceremonies. Because of the nature of these people, they have the tendency to express their individuality by selecting avant-garde wedding music, which may manifest their unique and bolder statement.
Although this is the case, it must still be remembered that the choice of music will be dependent on the essentiality of the wedding. In which case, this should remind you that there are other people, other than you and your other half, who are sensitive enough to notice and get offended if the music theme does not complement the importance and sacredness of the wedding. There is a selection of avant-garde music that could be just perfect to you while tolerable enough to your family members and other guests as well.
· Contemporary wedding music – as traditional wedding music lyrics has long been forgotten to be a trend in the wedding industry, more modern, popular songs are widely preferred by most. New generation songs are diverse which gives the bride and groom wide array of selection. Infusing the modern and popular songs to wedding events is already not common today. A large percent of wedding ceremonies of today are playing more number of these songs over traditional ones.
