Re: Irish Brides...Ceremony Music
I saw your post about the Irish Wedding song and your link. My parents are from Ireland and I sing, so needless to say i've sung this song countless times at my cousins' weddings etc.... i just wanted to let you know there are two more verses to the song and some of the lyrics in your link are not correct. i can FM them to you as well as tell you where you can get the music to it if you would like it played live at your ceremony by the organist or whoever. it is a beautiful song... i am having it played at the unity candle and by our band as our last song at the reception.

We are using it as well for our candle ceremony. We are also playing it for the second dance at the reception. Good choice.

Can you, please, post it for the rest of us to read b/c now that I saw this, I'm really interested in using this song at my unity candle lighting!!!!!!!! Thank you!

Re: Irish Brides...Ceremony Music
Sure.... no problem.... :)
Most church organists know this one, but double check!!! if they don't have it, the sheet music can easily be ordered through Sam Ash (a music store with many locations on LI) for less than $5.00.
The Irish Wedding Song Verse 1: Here they stand, hand in hand, they've exchanged wedding bands Today is the day of all their dreams and their plans And all of their loved ones are here to say, God Bless this couple who marry today.
Chorus: In good times and bad times, in sickness and health May they know that riches are not needed for wealth And help them face problems they'll meet on their way, Oh God Bless this couple who marry today.
Verse 2: May they find peace of mind comes to all who are kind May the rough times ahead becomes triumphs in time May their children be happy each day Oh God bless this family who started today
Chorus
Verse 3: As they go, may they know every love that was shown And as life it gets shorter, may their feelings grow Wherever they travel, whereever they roam, May God Bless this couple, who marry today
Chorus

Re: Irish Brides...Ceremony Music
Oh one more thing, all you Irish brides... I have the lyrics to Lady of Knock, Ireland's song to the Blessed Mother, if anyone is interested. I am having that sung as we leave roses at Our Lady's altar (after Communion). Let me know and I'll post them....
