Today we travelled to Parteen, Co Clare, just outside Limerick city for Rita and James’ wedding. Rita found us online after Christmas and was very organised with all her music picked out before Easter! It was another beautiful day, and St Patrick's Church was lovely and bright insde and it was a lovely acoustic for us to play in. Here’s what we played for the ceremony:
Bridesmaids Entrance: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba
Rita’s Entrance: Here Comes The Bride
Lighting of the Separate Candles: Lascia Ch’io Pianga
Lighting of the Marriage Candle: Lascia Ch’io Pianga
Offertory: Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring
Sign of Peace: Largo from Winter
Communion: Largo from Xerxes
Signing of the Register: Hornpipe from Water Music and Salut d’Amour
Recessional: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba
The three bridesmaids were in canary yellow dresses and their sunflower bouquets were a gorgeous combination and the perfect complement to all that sunshine! The couple were blessed with fantastic weather for the start of their married life, long may it continue!
