Imagine you have a great singing voice (maybe you do, I have no idea). Would you (or did you, I suppose) sing at your own wedding?

I can't say that I would sing, or wouldn't because I know that I can't carry a tune in a bucket.

But for me if I had a beautiful voice I can't say I guess it really depends on the situation.

 However one of my friends did sing solo at her wedding.  She has a fabulous voice, she's in a band so we all knew she would sing and she got up at the reception and sang to her new husband.

I had a million people ask me if I was going to sing at our wedding. I thought about it for like half a second (also toyed with singing at the reception), but realized the following:

1) I would probably laugh, cry, or forget the words
2) I would be convinced that people thought I was full of myself for wanting to sing (like I was in love with my own voice or something)
3) I would embarrass Clint because people would be staring at him checking out his reaction (he had a hard enough time walking the grandmas and mothers in because people were looking at him)

One of Clint's parents' friends sang to each other at their wedding...a song that she wrote..."Curtis and Karen, lovin' and sharin.'" That is goofy as hell.

I love to sing, so if I could sing, I'd go for it.

My friend's father is some sort of promoter, so when I went to his brother's wedding, Neil Sedaka was there and sang a bunch of songs including one he wrote special for the couple.

Oh, I'm not saying special dedicated songs are goofy, I'm saying, in particular, the lyrics "Curtis and Karen, lovin' and sharin'" are goofy.

My cousin sang to her husband at their wedding, instead of saying vows, because she said every time she started to read her vows, she would choke up. But when she sang them, I guess maybe she was able to be "professional" about it?

She has a beautiful singing voice and everyone thought it was great. When it was his turn, her husband turned to the church and said, I don't know if I can top that, but I'll try. And he sings almost as well as she does!

It was a little hokey, but then they ARE hokey so it was cool. LOL

This is why I wouldn't do it, but I might have considered singing a song to H at the rehearsal dinner if I were more comfortable singing in front of people. We didn't actually have anyone sing at our wedding.

neither of us can sing. but DH's cousins can. each brother sang a song during the other brother's wedding ceremony, but they didn't sing at their own. kwim? that was nice.

I would def sing at my wedding. But I have stage fright, so I'm sure I would be extremely nervous and chicken out
