She Moved Through The Fair is a very old, traditional Irish love song that is still very popular in Ireland today.  The melody to this folk tune is haunting and lovely so it is often used during wedding services here in Ireland.  It is less often heard elsewhere however, so it would be an unusual and authentic Celtic choice outside of the Emerald Isle.

She Moved Through The Fair comes in two lengths to suit your ceremony:

  • The shorter version lasts a little over a minute and a half and is ideal for a short moment of reflection or to accompany a very short ceremony, such as lighting a candle.
  • The longer version plays for over three minutes.  This version is ideal for when a longer piece of music is needed.

The traditional lyrics for this song are particularly lovely:

My young love said to me,
My mother won’t mind
And my father won’t slight you
For your lack of kine.
And she stepped away from me
And this she did say:
It will not be long, Love,
‘Til our wedding day.

Note: Traditional melody arranged by Aisling Ennis.
