Heh...Reminds me of the time that I, too, played at a wedding for which the bride wanted HC played for the processional. I was present for the rehearsal, and there was much more tune than procession. The priest was trying to cut me off with hand signals, and finally walked over, took me by the arm, and declared that "nobody wants to hear all of that," and that I was to stop when the couple were in place before him. After the rehearsal, the bride came over and asked what the priest had said to me. Upon my explanation, she said, rather emphatically, "I don't give a damn what he wants - it's not his wedding! Play the whole tune!" Next day, I did. It was a beautiful wedding, and a beautiful day. Thanks for the reminder, Ian!

[NSP] Re: Music for funeral
I have to admit to having enjoyed playing this tune on one occasion. Bride wanted it at her wedding and I'm hired help so I do as I am told. Then she lets me know she wants me accompanied by the church organ... The organist and I spoke but did not rehearse before the wedding day. I arrived early and we had a run through with me up in the organ loft along with him. Don't know where the arrangement came from but it went through the tune twice with the pipes starting and organ increasing its role as it progressed . By the second time through there were bloody great organ chords going and I have to say it sounded pretty good for a piece of kitsch. Come the wedding I start, and the organist comes in as at the run through. From the organ loft I can see the bride fairly sprint up the aisle and the organist looks in his little rear view mirror to see the priest signaling "She's here - cut the music". So we stopped and and exchanged a look that said "Shit, we didn't get to the good bit!" Ian Paul Gretton wrote: 'fraid not, Colin. You'll just have to live with it.
