| It's a good idea to create small checklists
for the friends and family participating so they know precisely
what to do. It's easy to forget things during the excitement and
emotion of the day!

Music for the Ceremony
Discuss your musical selections with your clergyman performing
the ceremony. In some cases, he or she must approve the selections
before they can be used.
Be sure to arrange for appropriate sound systems and/or equipment.
If you have recorded music, find out if you need a cassette tape
or a CD. Many churches only have a cassette player! Also, if you
have live music, you may have to request microphones, music stands,
etc.
Caution! If you have a song that must be cued up on cassette, make
SURE it's cued properly. We heard a story of a local wedding where
the bride wanted "From this Moment" to be played during
the unity candle lighting. Unfortunately, the tape wasn't cued properly
and the final words from the previous song played first --- Shania
Twain singing, "Don't be Stupid!"
