Thanks to the two vocalisters who corrected me on the title of Grow Old With Me by John Lennon(I knew one of the Beatles fit in there somehow : ).
For the vocalister interested in the key of my sheet music: I did manage to find my collection of wedding music and it is indeed in the key of G Major. Both organists that I have worked with were able to sight-transpose; and we knew about the weddings and the musical requests months in advance, so we just put the piece into the key of E Major and I sang where the music was written. A mezzo-soprano student I had who was interested in working on wedding music worked on it in the key of D Major, and I just wrote in the correct chord names and just improvised a similar accompaniment for her lessons. (I'm really not **that** good an improviser - its just a simple enough piece for me to do that with.) Thanks for reminding me that I need to rewrite this out so anyone can play it.
I second Karen's recommendation of "The Wedding Song". I realize many get frustrated with singing it a lot, but the text is beautiful and congregations seem to love it. (I actually don't mind singing it)
