Worship song at ceremony? Please chime in if you aren't a Christian as well!!

Can't tell you guys how much I appreciate all your input! This has been so helpful!

No. It's weird. Please don't.

I am not Christian but I would not feel uncomfortable in the slightest.

My only issue with this would be that in situations like this people who choose not to participate often get grief for it. It would be hard to control if this happened and while ideally everyone could be grown ups and it would go great, there's a chance it might start something. I suppose my opinion here would depend on how tolerant you think your Christian guests are of non-Christians.

For example I have been at weddings where there was a prayer said over the meal and when I did not bow my head I got dirty looks. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it in any way, just hopefully everyone will be tolerant and polite. Unfortunately that is rarely my experience. I get a LOT of hate for not being Christian when I am around certain people.

Even though I'm not a Christian and am spiritual. ... those songs are lovely and generally about love. ..I think people would understand it's part of who you are. ...

This seems like more of a 'specific denomination' thing than a "Christian" thing. As in, other Christian denominations probably won't know those songs either (except Amazing Grace, for obvious reasons)

If you're sure that most people there will know the songs, fine. If most of your guests worship in other denominations/locations, it will be super awkward when only a handful sing along and everyone else stares into their lap til it's over. Don't assume because it's common to you, it's common to people even in your own denomination if they're from a different parish. For instance, I've been to weddings of most Christian denominations, and have been to Catholic and Episcopalian services regularly, and have never even heard of "come thou font"

I wouldn't do more than 2, absolute max. If you need more ways to fit them in, can you have one sung or played while everyone's waiting for the ceremony to begin?

We are Christians and were faced with the same issue. We ultimately decided that centering the start of our marriage on God was the most important thing. The promises you are pledging on your wedding day are not only between you and your FH, but between the two of you and God as well. Don't be bashful about that!

OP! Or anyone else reading this... I want to incorporate a worship song and I don't know where to put it!! Where would (or did) you do it... beginning, middle ? Before the minister gives the charge (or speech or little sermon or whatever you call it? Help please
