Wedding Progress with Reuben!

We met with the harpist tonight, Reuben Correa.

Katy and I were with him for about 40-45 minutes as he wrote down the songs that we chose before playing them all. He played the 4-6 songs for the wedding ceremony and they were done very well! Tonight was the first time I put the music to this marriage and now it makes me look forward to it even more!

Here's what we have:

Prelude- It is Well With My Soul-Traditional Hymn

Sheep May Safely Graze JS Bach

Processional- Bridesmaids—Jesu Joy of Man’s Desire JS Bach

Katy-Canon in D Pachelbel

Unity Candle- Be Thou My Vision

Recessional- Bridal March-Felix Mendelssohn

He apparently grew up in Torrance, California before skipping around the country because he was in the service. He had heard of Bethel from a music ministry that came to California but he didn't go right away. He was the only harp music major there, and probably the only one that's ever graduated as such out of Bethel, and graduated in 1989.


Let's just say I think it'll be very nice!

Nice. Another thing set. It's coming up quick! :) I hope the little fatty can fit into the wedding outfit I bought for him.
