I'll see you in hell, Pachelbel...

There is a rather good reason for it. It's a small country church without a sound system.

And, no, we won't be going anywhere else. I'm very grateful there's a church within a five-minute drive of my parents' home. My mother has been too ill to leave the house even once in the past eighteen months. And a handicapped-accesible church in the near-vicinity, which she might be able to get to? I'll be damned if I sacrifice my mother's attendence for a ****ing song recording. She feels very strongly about us getting married in a church (she's very religious; to her it isn't valid if it isn't in a Catholic church.) So we're doing this for her.

Standing ovation!

I've been to too many weddings recently where the couple had obviously spent less than three seconds thinking about their family and guests.

My "something from West Side Story" was One Hand, One Heart, done by a trio (flute, cello, and violin, I think). My dad was thrilled to hear it, as he's a huge WSS fan.I used that as the processional, and the Romeo Juliet theme was for my entrance/walk.

BTW, it was Here Comes the Sun for the recessional, but no one heard it anyway over the chant of "Mazel Tov".
