Norwegian Song Program
I first enjoyed this tradition at my cousin's
wedding in Norway. This takes some
pre-planning, but it's lots of fun. Ask a few
people close to you a few weeks or months before the
wedding to write a song. It's not as hard as
it sounds. Pick a popular tune most people
will know (like 'row row row your boat' or 'Mary had
a little lamb') and write a poem about the couple.
They are usually written by a parent, best friend,
bride, groom etc. A booklet is made up in
advance of all the songs written out and tune name
listed. This is then given to each guest or
couple. During the reception, the author will
lead the entire congregation in standing and singing
the song together. Those closest to you get to
participate and share in your wedding memories and
guests get to learn more about you as a couple.
It really gets the party going with activity and
conversation.
