Re: Song for lighting the unity candle?

We used Grow Old With Me/God Bless Our Love by Mary Chapin Carpenter. It is a beautiful and very fitting song for the unity candle lighting. My friend used There is Love, I think thats the name, by I think it is peter paul and mary. That was my second choice.

We are using 'Grow Old with Me' too

. I love that song. The string quartet is going to do an instrumental version, and I am incorporating the lyrics into the program.

One Hand, One Heart from west Side Story. I think the words are appropiate.
I was also think of the wedding song.

I used Ave Maria for both unity candle and flowers to Mary (because I did them right after each other)
