Sigh, I don''t know what to do. FI and I are currently in the process of putting together our ceremony music. Right when we were down to making the difficult choice between two gorgeous piano pieces for the interlude, we found out that my mom had already gone ahead and asked a close family friend to sing for us. I feel stuck - even though he has a wonderful voice and is planning on performing a duet with another friend who also has a wonderful voice, it means that FI and I won''t get to hear EITHER of the piano solos we''ve been hoping for. I told my mom how I felt, and she said that we could just tell our friends that we already had other plans, but I almost feel like it''d be the same as asking someone to not be a groomsman or bible reader after you''ve already honored them with the request. What do you guys think? Has anything like this happened to you?
 
Could they do a special performance in the middle of the ceremony (instead of a reading) or do your reccessional. Or the cocktail hour, or the ceremony?
 
i agree with gypsy, could they possibly sing during another portion of your wedding so you can still have either of the piano preludes you wanted and still not have to tell them they are no longer part of the wedding? i for one enjoy well sung duets at weddings

Thanks for the suggestions gypsy and ficklefaye :) The piano solos we were considering (and the new duet option that just came up) are actually for the "special" song in the middle of the ceremony. The processional and recessional are already set with our organist, and unfortunately there just isn't another appropriate point in either the ceremony or the reception to have an additional song (there is also no piano at the reception hall to make any of these options possible). I'm disappointed because it was hard enough trying to choose between the two piano solos, even before an unexpected duet was thrown in there too! I guess what it comes down to is - should I give up on having a piano solo and just gratefully accept the duet?
