For my second wedding on Saturday with La Fete I was at The Umstead Hotel with Katie from La
Fete, Carrie from The Umstead and photographer James Walters
for Andrea and Aaron’s big day. The room
was absolutely beautiful!!
There was a surprise guest for the cocktail hour. Ramses,
the UNC mascot joined for pics with everyone (including me) and totally
surprised Aaron who is a huge fan. After
the cocktail hour, the 100 guests made their way into the ballroom for dinner
and dancing. The wedding party and
parents entered to Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel” and Andrea and
Aaron danced into the room to loud applause.
The stopped on the dance floor for their now second dance to “Young and
Beautiful” by Lana Del Ray and it was so precious to see them singing it to
each other like they were the only ones in the room. They took their seats after that and Andrea’s
father welcomed everyone.
The 3 course meal came our including soup, salad and
entrée’s. During dinner I played a mix
of soft rock, classic rock and some classic soul with a few Sinatra songs for
me J. As dinner wound down, guests started dancing
to beach music and classic soul. We had the cake cutting to “How Sweet It Is”
after a couple toasts. Andrea then
danced with her father to “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” by Brother IZ and Aaron
joined his mother on the floor for their dance to “In My Life” by The Beatles.
I opened the floor, again, with some more Motown and beach
music that brought everyone back onto the floor for the next 2 hours along with
some 80’s 90’s and current dance music.
We paused briefly for the bouquet toss to “Single Ladies” and garter
toss to “Foxey Lady” then back to dancing til the end of the night and a rose
petal exit. What a fun night and a great
group to play for. Thank you Andrea and
Aaron. I’m going to Disney World (which
I did Sunday) !
