    so i wanted to keep my ceremony very very simple.  we are not doing any special songs just the piano.  the piano player will play whatever while people are sitting down,  i havent picked the parents entrance song yet, then the BMs will walk in to Canon in D, and i will walk in to the wedding march.  we will not do a unity candle a reading or a singing during the cermony.  then we will exit to the da do dada dun dum dum(you know the married song) well my FMIL thinks that we need 1 song between when the mothers are seated and before the girls walk in.  so i have to have one song on a cd and have one person push play and push stop.  that to me is just another thing to worry about and i dont think we need it. but for some weird reason she's really pushing it.  i need to put a good fight with a good reason why we dont need this.  any suggestions?  by the way i really love my FMIL so no harshness please

    Ummm...is this worth a battle?  Just think of it that way, if its something you feel very stronly about, then just explain to her your vision of simplicity...if not, just let her have it

    Oi. I think the burden is on her to explain why she wants it. Why make everything wait 3 minutes longer before the wedding processional really gets started? Why add a song when the BMs and you won't even be there to hear it, you'll just be waiting outside to walk in? Why does she want this - has she seen it at someone else's wedding? Is she concerned that the ceremony will be "too short"? Is there a song she really wants included? (And if so, couldn't it be during the reception, or at least after the whole wedding party is in the room?)
