There are many songs in our parish hymnal that you may select for your ceremony that may not appear on this list. In general, wedding-appropriate songs will sing of God’s love for us, the bride and groom’s love for each other, two lives becoming one, prayers for God to bless the marriage, etc. However, it is possible that a favorite hymn of yours will fit somewhere in your ceremony as well.Preludes/Presentation of GiftsBreaking Bread Hymnal #Hear Us Now, Our God and Father#678Love Goes On#491May God Bless You#677O Father, All Creating#479Only a Shadow#445We Have Been Told #505When Love is Found#679Where Love is Found#676Where There is Love#681CommunionBreaking Bread Hymnal #Bread of Life (by Farrell)# 324Bread of Life (by Fisher)#371One Bread, One Body#348Spirit and Grace#350Ubi Caritas, by Bob Hurd#341Flowers to Mary/MothersBreaking Bread Hymnal #Hail Mary: Gentle Woman#703Holy Is His Name#706On This Day, O Beautiful Mother#707Other Appropriate Sacred Wedding SongsThere are many beautiful religious wedding songs which are appropriate for before the ceremony as guests are being seated, at the seating of the grandparents/parents, at Offertory, as a Communion meditation, or during the placement of flowers at the Blessed Virgin’s Altar.
