I had posted on Facebook that the song L had played for the Offeratory was not a Christmas Song. The last time that I had heard this song in our church was played at our wedding.
L had written the songs many years ago and played it for me while we were dating. I really, really liked the song and decided to use that one and another one for our wedding. I had to have everything just right when I was young!
So we had that song play for our young taper lighters (our nephews). They were both 12 at the time and my nephew wasn't sure about lighting the tapers. We had them come down from the wings of the church (with that song that L had pre-recorded) and they lit the tapers with that song playing in the background. I remember this watching a video of our wedding. After D (my nephew) was done lighting them and K, Larry's nephew they walked down the center of the aisle and D gave this look like, "Well, i did it." It was funny.
My Bridesmaids and Groomsmen and flower girl came down the aisle with another song L had composed and pre-recorded. It was non-traditional but very nice nonetheless.
So when L played this yesterday in church, I tear came from my eyes. I knew he was playing this for me...for us.
I looked around to see if anyone at church was at my wedding. My MIL and another couple on the front row would have heard this song. So I asked MIL if she remembered the song and she said, "No, I thought it was a Christmas song."
It wasn't. It was a song in our wedding. And it means a lot to me. :)
