Would you find it awkward - bride singing to groom at wedding

[ShutUpandSing]

I'm not sure whether to do this at my upcoming wedding or not.

Not in any way a stealth brag but I think relevant... I can sing (well I think!) and did vocal studies at university.

The problem is I have quite bad anxiety and get nervous over what people think! I never had the confidence to take it anywhere.

Be honest, what would think to this?

Don't listen to the haters. What are you going to sing op???? I will remember the bridesmaids I heard for the rest of my life.

God no.

I would find it cringeworthy too. I find the speeches bad enough too.

As a guest I'd feel so much second hand embarrassment for everyone involved and wouldn't know where to look, even though the sentiment is nice.
Maybe later on in the evening as part of the music/party would be better and way less cringey.

100% no. Even if the person singing is a professional singer the cringe is just immense.

Worlds of cringe. Like I'm embarrassed now just thinking about it. Bleugh.

Was at a work meet up recently and someone was describing in an aghast way having been at a wedding where this happened - the bride bursting into emotional song at the exchange of vows. The description caused much hilarity along with unanimous expressions of horror. So I would say no, very cringe inducing.

I think the bridesmaids singing is ok though (if they are good and singing something tasteful).

1:1 is cringeworthy somehow.
But a group of friends sang this at a friends wedding and it was wonderful. Can you round up some buddies?

Oh god no.

Sorry, I would also be cringing. I hate that sort of thing, and people who think they can sing just breaking into loud public song at unexpected times is just... urgh.

I think I would cringe so hard that my sphincter would actually physically consume the rest of my body.

I would cringe so hard that I would, in all likelihood, die.

It doesn't matter how good the singing is. It's cringey. If it's too professional it'll look distant. If it's too intimate it'll be awkward.

But you know yourself and your guests. You know how they're likely to react. Do what you like, it's your wedding.

Why on earth would you want to do it though?

I've been to a wedding where the bride and groom sang a duet to each other - it was absolutely lovely

I think though that if you enjoy singing then you should try to do more of it. Perhaps join a choir or take some more lessons to get you started and gain confidence?

As long as you can sing in tune, I think it would be fine. I say this as someone who can't sing a note!

No. I’m actually cringing now just imagining it.

I’m sorry but anything like that, no matter how well done is massively cringey.

Sorry no, awful. It always seems to be more about the one singing than anything else. We were at a wedding where it happened and no one knew where to look it was embarrassing and he's a fairly well known singer. If you joined the band for a song in the evening fair enough but not at the service.

Even if you were a great singer I'd still find it unbearable. I'd probably have to leave and go to the loo lol.

God I’d rather watch you fellate him on the dance floor. Please no.

Oh God please don't do it. It would be so awkward. Wouldn't know where to look.

Cringe cringe cringe. My toes are curling just thinking about it.

I've been to a wedding where the groom sang to the bride, it was awful. She was crying at how adorable he was and the guests were all cringing. An elderly aunt was pissing herself laughing.
