I disagree. A wedding is not a performance; it's a ceremony whose focus is
on love and commitment. A cherished cousin who sings a meaningful song in
a heartfelt but technically imperfect way is worth ten paid professionals
who are doing it for the check at the end! I respect your point of view,
and I know you are not alone in holding it, but I wanted to express what I
believe the people you object to might be thinking when they choose to ask
their cousin to sing. Me, I'm lucky. I come from a musical family, so the
music at my wedding was fantastic!
