The Music of the Night

The prelude music for the ceremony is going to be old classic love songs (think Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Doris Day, etc) with a few a cappella Disney songs mixed in that will be played over the sound system.    I wanted to find a song that is soft and slow that could also be played over the sound system so that the music  transitions well from the prelude music to the song that the grandmothers and mothers will walk in to and take their seats.  Justin's dad, L Z, and his friend are going to be playing the guitar for the bridal party processional and the bride processional so I had to think about that transitioning from the mother's song to processionals as well.  Last night, Justin and I went through several songs and we decided that a piano and strings rendition of "The Music of the Night" from the phantom of the opera would work really well.  It sounds so pretty.  Click on this link and choose the song title to listen to a snippet of what it will sound like.

And I didn't even realize this before Justin brought it up, but not only does it transition well, but it also keeps with the musical themed music that us girls will be walking down the aisle to.  I didn't do any of that on purpose...it just sort of happened that way because I love all 3 of those songs!
