1. Catholic wedding music is music that everyone sings together.
The Church values singing together because the liturgy is meant to express the unity of all the people gathered. Singing together shows and strengthens that unity.
2. Catholic wedding ceremony music is liturgical.
The music we use in church is different than what you hear on the radio because it is specifically written for Catholic liturgy, that is, it’s liturgical music. Not only does liturgical music have lyrics that fit the theme of the liturgy, but more importantly, liturgical music fulfills the specified function of each part of the liturgy.
3. Catholic wedding music is rooted in Scripture, sacred writings, or Catholic Church teaching.
Because your wedding is a ritual of the Catholic Church, the lyrics of your wedding songs represent the Catholic faith.
