As Chris and I chose music for our wedding, I was adamant that My Favorite Song be included.
My favorite Christmas carol is also My Favorite Song: “O Holy Night.” I love the minor tones and the extreme range of highs and lows. The lyrics beautifully capture the most important event in human history. Really, I could think of no other song more appropriate to mark the most important day in my life.
Chris would have nothing of it. That would be because we got married in the summer. On July 22.
I still maintain it would have been perfectly fine and who the heck cares anyway? It was my wedding. I have witnessed far more shocking things at weddings (sweatpants and baseball caps, for one; yes, I did) than the singing of a so-called unseasonal hymn.
But, anyhoo, I still harp on my dashed musical dreams every Christmas as I enjoy My Favorite Song each year.
I also enjoy this rendition. I only wish I had found this guy to sing at my wedding fourteen years ago. Certainly Chris would have relented, if I had suggested this version.
