Hymns are the traditional and religious part of a wedding. There are normally between 2 to 3 hymns sung at the wedding ceremony often before the start of the ceremony, the second after the marriage ceremony and the third after the signing of the register has been completed.

Nowadays, you can have almost any hymn sung at your wedding, but it is suggested that you discuss your preferences / hymns of choice with your pastor or minister as they will be able to guide you in your decision.

Things to keep in mind when choosing your hymns:

• Keep the key and notes in mind - you don't want your guests to struggle reaching certain notes.
• Think about the words of the hymns - the words may have some elements that appeal to you or reflect something about your relationship with your future life partner
• Think about the length of the hymn(s) - if you are planning on having a long ceremony, avoid choosing hymns that are too long to avoid guests getting tired
