Unity Candle

Question: Music for the unity candle lighting?

(Posted by: Mrs Lillemo in the making on 2009-02-10 12:59:52)

I cannot find any music I like for the lighting of the unity candle. I'm having a rendition of the wedding march played when I walk down the isle, cannon in d for my bridesmaids, and kenny G's the wedding song for the mothers and grandmothers. I have looked at every ones ideas on this site and searched Youtube and still nothing. I'm having a lady in her 60's sing during the lighting. The song should fit with the other music but I just can't find anything to fit with my personality. If I could choose I would have all contemporary music, but I can't. Any ideas?

We are thinking of having "This Little Light of Mine " played on the piano and sung by the choir, no lie! You could use a rendition of "You Light Up My Life " or something similar if you want to stay with the light theme, or "We've Only Just Begun " or even "Light My Fire " if you're into classic rock (ok, I joke...). "You are the Sunshine of my Life " would work too... or a Christian ballad like "Light in the Darkness " by Luba Adams or "Light of the World " by Watermark. Good luck!

My daughter had "The Rose ", by Bette Midler sung during their unity candle lighting. Here are the lyrics: lovesongs.com/ lyrics/ B/ bettemidler/ TheRose.htm

We had a harpist during our wedding ceremony. We chose "The Rose " to be played by her during our unity candle lighting. It was spectacular!
