It is hard to stump me, but I
have to admit there were some firsts for me at Suzanne and James’ wedding! I
knew I was in great company when I met Suzanne’s Dad and he had on a Mickey
Mouse vest with his tux and 4 of her cousins were dressed as Disney Princesses
(I’m a HUGE Disney fan). Another first
was always spotting a “where’s Waldo” thru the reception!
After a beautiful ceremony at
Duke Chapel, the 160 guests made their way to the street level of Bay 7 for
cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres.
They had a live pianist supply music for this part and he did a great
job! After the cocktail hour guests made
their way downstairs for dinner and dancing.
I introduced the wedding
party and they came down the stairs and lined up in front of the head table for
Suzanne and James’ first dance. They
then found their seats and Suzanne’s father welcomed everyone and blessed the
meal. The served salads and entrées came
out and I played a mix of standards during dinner. After dinner we had a “shoe game” followed
by toasts, cake cutting and parents dances.
I opened the dance floor to everyone with some Motown that soon had it
filled.
For the next 2 hours guests
danced to top 40, oldies, 80’s and early 2010’s dance hits. I saw several guests wearing the where’s
Waldo costume on the dance floor including a past bride from 3 years ago, Katie
who was Suzanne’s roommate for a couple years.
So, I had to wear it after Katie!
This was one of my favorite
weddings, and not one I, or the guests, will soon forget!
