I want to have 2 songs during the wedding for everyone to sing. I've never heard of this being done at a wedding. So my question is...When should they be sang? Before, during, after? Has anyone done this or seen it done? Any advice is truly appreciated!
Congregational songs during ceremony

Pretty much all the weddings I've been to have involved congregational singing- all the Christian ones anyway. Weddings seem to go the same sort of way a regular church service goes. Starts of with some sort of prelude- the wedding party comes in then, the a welcome by the pastor, then I'd say a song or three 
, then service stuff- like scripture, prayers, sermon, and wedding stuff- like unity candle, vows, rings, signing register, etc. Mixed in there perhaps a song or two (like maybe one while you do your signing of the register), and maybe a song or two at the end. It really depends on what you want the music to function as (which depends on the songs chosen). Do you want it to be a sort of call to worship? Praise songs? Do you want it to help the service flow? Do you want it to help people connect with God? Give a message to the bride and groom? Use it as a closing/sending song?
There's no specific formula... do whatever you want There's no right or wrong way to do it!

Some of my Christian friends/family have, some haven't - it's all up to you.
We're going to have ours sung during the signing of the register - one song which his parents had at their wedding (hymnal arrangement of 'As the Deer'), and one of our own ('Over the Mountains' by Delirious).
I figured that was the easiest place to put them, without stretching the time of the wedding out any further (considering we're also doing a handfasting bit)...

Thanks. I think I'll talk to my pastor about what he thinks as well. I just didn't want to bring it up without more info about it and some suggestions on how to do this. I haven't choosen the songs yet. It will probably be worship songs probably from Third day, mercy me, or Jeremy Camp. Here are a couple I'm considering so you can see where I want to go with this:
The heart of worship Sonic flood
your love oh lord third day
love song third day
Any other suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much ladies!
