Virginia & Chase has such
a magical winter wedding at The Fearrington on December 10th! Their ceremony
and reception were just beautiful.
The ceremony was held in the
Garden Terrace in front of a huge roaring fire with minister
Barbara Lodge. As the
guests arrived I had a mix of classical pop songs playing. The parents entered to an acoustic guitar
version of “In My Life” and the bridesmaids to “I’ll be there”. For Virginia’s entrance her cousins played
guitar and sang “I Will” that sounded amazing and so very special!! After a heartfelt ceremony with written vows
and a handfasting ceremony, they recessed to one of my favorite 80’s songs “I
Melt With You” by Modern English.
Barbara released the guests and invited them to the barn for cocktails
while photographer
Krystal Kast got some shots.
The entrance to the barn was
decorated with lite Christmas trees on both sides and a table down the middle
with seating assignment cards. During
the cocktail hour I had a mix of classic soul and indie rock playing. After Krystal was done with pics, Virginia
& Chase joined their 100 guests for a short time before being
introduced. I introduced them to
“Signed, Sealed, Delivered” and her parents welcomed everyone. They had their first dance to The Velvet
Underground’s “I’ll Be
Your Mirror” and the food stations opened.
After dinner we had the
toasts before the parents dances. Virginia met her Father on the floor to dance
to Sam Cooke’s Nothing Can Change This Love”.
Chase escorted his Mother to the floor for their dance to “My Wish” by
Rascal Flatts. It was a surprise song for
Chase. I opened the floor to everyone
with some Motown and top 40 that filled it for a marathon 3.5 hours! We paused briefly for the cake cutting to
“Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps” by Cake, then back to dancing to some 80’s
alternative and 2000’s hits.
We ended the night with “Time
Of My Life” from Dirty Dancing and a sparkler exit. Thank
you so much Virginia & Chase and congratulations!
