An Unique and Meaningful Place to Have Music!
The benediction or at the close of the ceremony can be an especially meaningful place to include a piece of music!
Most weddings do not have music at this time of the ceremony but it can be the icing of the cake, so to speak! The benediction is usually spoken at the close of the ceremony but it could also be sung just before the introduction of the couple. This time of the ceremony can be a powerful and wonderful way to have an appropriate piece of music played or sung such as "The Prayer" by Sager/Foster (solo or duet) or "The Lord Bless You and Keep You" if you have a choir or small ensemble. I played for a couple Dutch weddings and each of them had the congregation sing The Doxology (Old 100th tune) or "Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow" as the benediction. That was a meaningful touch to these weddings. The spoken benediction can still be said after the music but just the "right" piece can add so much to this time of the ceremony that spoken words alone cannot reach.
