Anthems are choral pieces, accompanied by an organ or piano, (or unaccompanied) usually sung by the choir during the signing of the register. This is the choir's chance to show off their skills. However the bride and groom may not even hear this music if they are in another room filling in forms. If there is something you particularly want to hear, make sure they wait for you to re-appear before starting.
