Alexandra & John, who are both fencers, had their
wedding and reception at The Museum Of Art
in Raleigh. The new west wing of the
Museum is beautiful and a great place for guests to visit while at the
reception. I even saw Nick Cave’s suit
made of buttons. The floral arrangements
added to the beauty made by The
Watered Garden. Ha ha !! So weird.
As guests arrived to the cocktail hour, food was ready and I
was playing a mix of classic and soft rock.
Alexandra & John had the wedding party enter to “Let’s Get It
Started” by Black Eyed Peas and everyone in the wedding party entered with a
fencing sword and made an arch for them to walk under and go into their first
dance of Adam Sandler’s “Grow Old With You”.
It was so great !! Ali danced
with her Father to “My Girl” and John danced with his Mother to “Simple Man” by
Lynyrd Skynyrd. I love that song for a
Mother/Son dance ! After a welcome by
Ali’s Uncle Lyndon and a blessing by Reverend Mark Blanton, the food stations
reopened and the wedding party got a chance to eat. There were so many great places for
photographers Sara & Kirbi from White
Wall Photography to snap pics.
After dinner, the toasts by The Best Man Jordan, John’s
Father John sr. and several others gave way to the cake cutting with a Bride
& Groom fencing on top made by Cinda’s
Creative Cakes and I played “I’m A Believer” by Smash Mouth. There was also a huge “Candy Bar” opened the
whole night. The dance floor opened to some beach music and Motown and guests
old and young filled the floor.
After 45 minutes or so, we stopped the action to do a
bouquet toss to “Just A Girl” by No Doubt and garter toss to “Legs” by ZZ Top
then back to dancing. One of the
highlights of the night for me was seeing John and his buddies singing and
playing air guitar to Dio’s “Rainbow In The Dark” right before their last song
of “Ho Hey” by The Lumineers and their Bubble exit. What a fun reception and I’m so glad no one
got stabbed ! ha ha…
