So me and my partner gave our notice of marriage on Saturday for our wedding in June. The ceremony is classed as a Civil Marriage so we cannot have any songs that mention anything with a religious connotation in the lyrics. Unfortunately, I never planned much into this and when I chose my walking down the aisle song (this was chosen before I even met my partner because I just LOVE the song) it has a verse mentioning Dear God. When this was mentioned I never thought much about it because we're using a piano instrumental so their are no lyrics in the version we are using. The verse mentioning God is also 2 minutes deep into the song so even if it was to have lyrics, the song wouldn't be playing long enough to hear this part. But now we're being told we cannot use it
Being the bride to be I am, I have previously planned everything around this song, including the moments in which me and my bridesmaids will be walking down the aisle. My partner also tears up whenever she hears the song as all she can think about is our future wedding day.
I was just wondering if there was any way around this or if this is an obstical that anyone else has overcome?
The song for reference is Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Ray. As previously stated however we are not using the original version but a piano instrumental.
Any advice would be fantastic because unfortunately my heart is set on this song and no other song ever seems to compare.
