Veneration of Mary

OPTIONAL part of the ceremony where bride & groom or the mothers will bring flowers to the Virgin Mary. Perfect song for this portion of the Mass? Why, Ave Maria of course! There are two versions we can use. We may recommend one or the other depending on what instruments you have selected. We can also perform this song with a vocalist. Not a fan of Ave Maria? Just about any other classical song or Catholic piece of music will work fine.
