Does anyone have examples of inappropriate wedding hymn requests? I remember our Vicar saying that one couple had asked for “Oft in Danger, Oft in Woe”. There must be plenty of risky ones out there.

  2. We asked the rev’ if we could sing normal songs and she said that was fine, so a guitarist friend played and we did ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by the Beetles, and ‘Days’ by the Kinks. I thought it might be a problem but she was cool about it. We had the lyrics printed into the booklets and all was good. We did throw one hymn in there, ‘When I Needed a Neighbour’, but that was mainly to stick it to my dad, who attended the wedding as a guest (no speech) but has been mostly absent throughout my life. *(I was hungry and thirsty, Were you there, were you there?).* So I guess the songs were traditionally inappropriate, and the hymn had a hidden rebellious slant to it.
