When I got married in the Mennonite church, the congregation participated by singing one of my favorite hymns, O Pow'r of Love. Yesterday our string trio played in a wedding where the bride had requested that we play the Beatles' tune In My Life. I had arranged the song for us, but we weren't sure if it was to accompany a candle-lighting, a water-mingling, or what, so when we arrived, we inquired. Turns out, we were to accompany a singalong! I hoped that the printed words for the guests matched the tune, and I think they did. I wasn't watching, but the cellist said she watched the bride singing along, enjoying herself greatly, so I'm glad that I spent the time to arrange the song and add some value to the ceremony.
