Nydia-Shelden Wedding

In mid-August, our trio played for Shelden and Nydia’s wedding in Chicago’s southwest suburbs.  It was a beautiful, sunny day which was perfect for their outdoor ceremony!  The music they requested for the ceremony was:

• Family/Bridal Party: Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring (Bach)
• Bride: Canon in D (Pachelbel)
• Reflection: Ave Maria (Schubert)
• Unity Candle: You Raise Me Up(Groban)
• Recessional: Hornpipe from “Water Music Suites” (Handel)

Following the delightful ceremony and recessional, everyone walked inside for the cocktail hour.  At the cocktail hour, our trio played classical favorites as guests mingled.

Congratulations Nydia and Shelden!

Interesting fact: There are two well-known versions of ‘Ave Maria’ used in weddings, one written by Schubert and one written by Bach/Gounod.  The Schubert version seems to be the more popular, but both work well in a wedding ceremony.
