You are right, Andrew, my fiancee and I will be walking down the aisle of our Lesbian wedding to Andrew Lloyd Wright's "I don't know how to love Him," from _Jesus Christ Superstar_. It's non-fiction after all.

It has to do with the mockery of the institution of marriage which is depicted in Wagner's work. Wagner and Mendelssohn's works are quite well crafted, but the mere purpose of the music being written for the fictional drama makes it quite inappropriate for such a meaningful event. I would try writing Bach's Air in G or Corelli's Sonata in F second movement. Better still, how about the Mozart Quintet slow movement? Andrew Proctor May the peace of God which passeth understanding keep our hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God and in his son Jesus Christ our Lord and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father Son and Holy Spirit be with us all, now and forever.
