Abstract

Garrido and Davidson here consider the domination of church music in weddings across the last 500 years of Western culture, along with examples from non-Western cultures. Modern day examples depict changing attitudes towards marriage. However, commercial influences and the growing reach of the media have helped maintain an interest in wedding ‘traditions’, albeit relatively new ones. Thus, as weddings become more about personal expression for the couple involved, for many they have simultaneously become about mirroring the lives of celebrities.
