Contemporary Wedding Music For the Modern Couple

If you have a favorite song, but the lyrics do not all fit within the context of a wedding ceremony, you could find a recorded instrumental version of the song, or have a live musician play an instrumental version. Vitamin String Quartet has released several CDs available on amazon.com and iTunes with instrumental versions of modern songs ranging from the Rolling Stones to My Chemical Romance. Another idea is to write new lyrics personalized for your wedding day and have a soloist sing them over a piano or guitar.
