Wedding music

I am reading Francis Jackson's 'Music for a long while@ and have found another reference to Dad. 'A wedding wouldn't be the same without Here comes the bride' said one. Herbert Woodhouse in 'The Star' Johannesburg quoted and seemed tacitly to concur with my somewhat dubious statement that to take the Mendelssohn from the stage and present a travesty of it at a church wedding was 'almost sinful'..... Erik Routley is quoted as saying most weddings were 'strictly idolatrous, sentimental and religiously depressing occasions'! Dad certainly played both wedding marches at weddings so he must have altered his view or accepted the inevitable!
