“If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”
Woody Allen
One of our friends (who just happens to sing for the Atlanta Opera) has offered to sing for our wedding as her gift to us. Last weekend, Dave and I sat down with Maria and finalized all of our music choices for the entire ceremony and burned them onto CD. Our plans were set, and we were pretty much ready for the wedding day:
Seating of the Mothers: Air on a G String (J.S. Bach)
Processional: Canon in D Major (Pachelbel)
Bridal Processional: Ave Maria (Schubert)*
Communion: Panis Angelicus (Cesar Franck)*
Recessional: Trumpet Voluntary in D Major (Prince of Denmark March by Jeremiah Clark)
*vocal soloist Maria McDaniel Dikin, mezzo-soprano
Then we found out earlier this week that St. Philip Benizi does not allow recorded music. And that many parts of the simple wedding mass that we had planned to have spoken *must* be sung. The music minister has "graciously" offered to help us pick music and work with our soloist. No offense, but Mr. Music Minister, but you just completely trampled on my vision for our perfect wedding ceremony. I do not want you involved with my wedding day, and I definitely do not want to have to pay for you to "help" fix what you ruined!
Okay, my Bridezilla moment is over. Back to the planning!
Oh that stinks! No recorded music? That seems a bit...odd. I hope you can work it all out and I certainly hope you don't have to pay their music minister!!
