Worship Time During Ceremony - Good Idea?

I think if you and your hubby attend the church then his family need to accept that it's normal for you to have a more "worship style" ceremony.

I have photographed several Christian weddings that took the format you describe. Just pick popular songs that people coming from other churches will know!

You don't have to pick any of the traditional hymns at all. The main reason certain hymns are consistently chosen for weddings is that the couple don't attend church regularly so pick songs they knew as children.

He's not religious - it's just me that goes to church. He's really supportive but he will definitely not sing. He doesn't sing normally but there's even less chance of him singing worship songs!

He told me just to go ahead and do whatever I wanted with the ceremony. He knows the format is more important to me than it is to him.

I'm not religious at all so we chose not to have a religious ceremony but every wedding I have been to that played hyms I found no one sang along and it was just drown out by the organ so if it was me I would be inclined to do something like this as if it is multiple instruments it wouldnt matter as much if people didn't sing along. I went to a Christian concert years ago and the music was fantastic and really moving. If it's what you want go for it! I'm sure the church will advise you on how best to arrange it if it's a regular thing they do
