Jill and Tyler chose the picturesque Triple R
Stables in Franklinton for their wedding ceremony and reception on a
beautiful 85 degree day. I was there to
provide music and mic’s for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The ceremony was held in the lawn near the
farm house overlooking a horse pasture.
The Grandparents and parents walked down the isle to “Air On A G
String”, the wedding party to “Canon in D” and Jill to “Here Comes The
Bride”. After a wonderful ceremony my pastor
Gary McNair, they exited to American Author’s new hit “Best Day Of My
Life”..get it??
The cocktail hour was held across the driveway in the farm
house’s back yard and porch. I had a mix
of soft rock and country playing with it being a little heavier on country
music. After photographer Renee Sprink took pictures of Jill and
Tyler all over the grounds, it was time for the party to start. The 300 guests made their way down the lawn
to the open air tent for dinner and dancing with table floral arrangements by The
Blonde Buttercup. The wedding party
entered the tent to Gretchen Wilson’s “Here For The Party” that really set the
tone for the upcoming party and was very appropriate since they met at her
concert. Each couple danced to the edge
of the dance floor and Jill & Tyler came in to a thunderous roar and had
their first dance to Brad Paisley’s piano version of “Then”. This is by far better than the original to
me. The wedding party took their seats
and the BBQ food buffet opened after a blessing by Mark Dickens and a few moo’s
by the cows in the pasture next to us. I
continued a soft rock and country mix through dinner.
After dinner we had the cake cutting to “Honey Bee” and
toasts. Jill joined her father on the
floor to dance to “Daddy Dance With Me” by Krystal Keith who is Toby Keith’s
daughter. Tyler danced with his mother
to “All To You” by DJ Keo and I invited all the married couples for a “longest
married couple” dance to Shania Twain’s “You’re Still The One” with the winners
married 45 years! Congratulations. I
opened the floor with some beach music and Motown, then into some current and
line dances that filled the floor for the next 3 hours. We paused for a bouquet toss to “Fancy” and
garter toss to “Hot In Herre” that took 3 tries, but finally stuck.. lol. The night ended with some current hip-hop and
Tyler trying his best to dance like a Chippendales dancer… ha ha.
The night ended with “I Don’t Want This Night To End” and a
sparkler exit. What a fun night and a
wonderful couple!!!! Thank you Jill and
Tyler and I hope to see you again soon.
