Those having a church wedding - what hymns are you having?

Am having up beat kind of songs - am having all things bright and beautiful and lord of the dance

xx

Im not having a church wedding but just thouht i would say I think amazing grace would be a beautiful hymn for a wedding.

x xx?

We are having Lord of all hopefullness, sing hosanna and one more step along the world I go. We had to notify vicar yesterday so they are definite now!!!

All things Bright & Beautiful but that's all we know of at the moment ? x

Wooah, they were quick responses, thanks!

JM&DM, we would have amazing grace, but it's upsetting for FIL2B (I think it was played at his mother's funeral) so we've vetoed it!

Can't see who it was who said they were having All things bright and beautiful and Lord of the Dance - I love those songs and they are ones that we've almost decided on, but we need another one.

Gosh you've had to notify early. We're getting married on 29th May and still haven't made our final decisions! Perhaps I should be putting my panic hat on!

Lord of all Hopefulness & Morning Has Broken for us

Hello twinnie.

Have you had to pay a copyright fee for morning has broken?

Yes I suppose it is early but we had pretty much decided on them anyway. I guess if we wanted to change our minds we could but I love these hymns

we are having In Christ Alone, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWXcRVZWTb8

Here is Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8YOPj5TnUM

and I will Trust in You Alone - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_pHkmoBBek (this isnt as good a version as i've heard before)

The lyrics of these hymns are all downloadable so it makes the making of your order of services very easy!!

? ok, you've offically scared me! Why do you need a copyright fee? It's something i never thought of!?

Is it not included with your package so to speak? The copyright license I mean. Ours is included in the church price.

Ours is, and we were also told not to forget to write the copyright number at the bottom of the order of service.

We are having 'One more step along the world I go' and 'Give me joy in my heart'

We had to let the vicar know at our last meeting which was in March!!

Our Minister never mentioned anything about it! Must check!

neither did ours and i've never seen copyrights on order of services before at all!! I think if its possible to copy and paste lyrics from a website, that surely they're not copyrighted!

lol, I'm with you on this...I've just looked at the sample OOS's I was given & none of them have anything other than the title & words.

ETA - Maybe no one cares in NI lol

Honestly, I'm not making it up ?

If we want Morning has Broken, we have to pay a copyright fee of £50, it's not included in the church fees, and it has to be typed underneath the hymn on the OOS.

Oh no, I didn't mean to scare you. It may well just be our parish.

Some lovely hymns chosen by everyone. It's so hard to just pick three.....

? I do believe you...it might be the parish though. Just had a quick google & it looks like some parishes pay for a certain amount & some don't.

Anywho, I'm going to assume that since the minister said nothing at our choices, then we don't need to get one...I'll double check when I send him the proof to read?

How's all the other planning going PennyF? Starting to panic?!!

Im having a church wedding, do you have to have Hyms?

Can you just have one?

Hi Natty, I would expect you have to have hymns & I know we were asked to have at least 2. I think you will need to check with your own church, as they can vary & it can depend alot on the denomination.

Shush, I'm still working on my head in sand position lol!

Lol, don't leave your head that way too long!

I seem to have an endless list of things to do...sometimes I think I just create work for myself!

What have you still got to do? I may need shocking into doing something....

HI

We are having a church wedding - and i asked our priest could i do our own songs, so that is what i am going to go for - so no Hymns for us!! having take that / boyzone / U2 - their songs.

Also, have never heard of the copyright thing before.......

if your having take that boyzone & u2 you def have to email them and ask permission had a friend who had bon jovi and they had to write to him and ask something about permission to sing them etc.

Hmm, need to choose all music still (apart from Hymns) inc. first dance song.

Need to make the OOS

Need to make the Table plan, can do most of this before we have final names/numbers

Making the rest of the shortbread tonight

Need to make a definate list of when people need paid

The cake needs ordered, but not until 21 days before

Dress fittings are under way...hpefully next Wednesday the alterations will be completed

Not sure what else?

We had Lord of All Hopefulness, Dear Lord and Father of Mankind and Love Divine.

i doubt so!! I've sen order of services for different things; remembrance services, funerals and all, and there never were copyrights on them. you wouldnt have time to copyright for a funeral anyway!

We are having Give me joy in my heart and One more step along the world I go. We picked them as we thought most people would know them and they are quite upbeat. Hopefully people will like these!

P xx

We are having Amazing Grace, Lord of all Hopefulness and Lord of the Dance.

ETA- I am a div, I got it wrong....we're not having Lord of all hopefulness, we are having Give me joy in my heart!
