I'm working on the music for the wedding.
If it was in the Novus Ordo, I suppose we could have had the above in the Mass but due to the rigorous restrictions imposed upon the form and setting of liturgical music in the Extraordinary Form, I guess it will just have to be played at the reception afterwards instead.
Shame. It could have been a themed Mass and everything.
I just bought the suit. I'm surprised. I look quite employable when I make an effort.
Getting rather tetchy now.

On a much more serious note, I ask all readers to pray for our brother in Christ,

I play the organ and piano and cantor in a relatively conservative (at least for now with the current priest) Novus Ordo parish.
Here's the playlist I offer each prospective couple.
Prelude: Musician plays 20 minutes of light classical music.
Suggestions for Procession of mothers, bridesmaids, and bride.
Air from Water Music ----Handel
Air on G string---------Bach
Ave Verum Corpus--Mozart
Canon in D----------Pachelbel
Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring--Bach
Laudate Dominum-----Mozart
Sheep May Safely Graze--Bach
Trumpet Voluntary-----Purcell
Meditation from Thais---
Massenet
Bridal Chorus----Wagner
Psalm---choose a psalm
and the musician will find a musical setting for it.
Offertory--any song from the missal or the Franck Panis Angelicus or another sacred selection.
Comm Hymn---any song from the missal or a sacred solo. If the wedding is large, I suggest a congregational hymn from the missal followed by a sacred solo such as Schubert's Ave Maria.
Suggestions for Recessional of the wedding party:
Rondo--------Mouret
La Rejouissance--Handel
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik--Mozart
Zadok the Priest-----Handel
Ode to Joy------//Beethoven
Horn pipe -------Handel
Arrival of the Queen of Sheba--Handel
Hallelujah Chorus------Handel
Trumpet Tune-----Purcell
Wedding March-Mendelssohn

P.S. I hate that damn bird song.
But before the conservative priest came, there was a Beattles wedding (processional-Here Comes the Sun and recessional--All You Need is Love). and also a Twilight wedding with Bella's song played for the bridal entrance.

Weddings always happen in tea halls in my experience. I've never been to a Catholic wedding. I think once I did attend a wedding in a protestant church. All of the above usually shot-gun or with several of the couple's children in attendence.

p.s. our Lady, refuge of the sick, intercede for Mr Collins and his loved ones; remember, whoever, to ask for a Mass for Mr Collins.
