These are questions you need to ask yourselves when choosing hymns for a wedding:
- How many hymns are you having?
- At what stage in the service will they be sung?
- Are the hymns that you want well-known enough so that people will join in?
- Do the hymns say the things you want?
- Have you agreed with the organist which tunes you are having for the hymn?
(Many a couple have been upset when their favourite hymn is sung to the wrong tune!)
