Megan and Derrick were
married at one of my favorite venues, The
Carolina Inn, in Chapel Hill on March 11th,
2017. I was thrilled to be back here and
work with some of my favorite co-vendors in Tiffany from The Inn, Carrington
from Erin
McLean Events, photographer
Renee Sprink and baker Ashley Cakes!
The ceremony was held in
another ballroom with music provided by Save The
Date Music. After
a short ceremony by my buddy Reverend
David James, the 150 guests made their way to the hallway
outside the Old Well Room for cocktails and passed hours d’oeuvres. After pics and video were taken by Renee and Sugar
Shack Films the doors to the ballroom opened and guests
found their seats.
I introduced the wedding
party and our newly married couple to “Levels” by Avicii. They came in to thunderous applause and had
their first dance to “How
Sweet it Is” by James Taylor. They took their seats and Megan’s father
welcomed everyone followed by a blessing by Reverend James. The salads and entrées came out and I played
a mix of classic soul, standards and rock during dinner.
After dinner we had toasts
and the two Ashley cake cuttings to “Sugar Sugar”. Megan then joined her Father for their dance
to “My Little Girl” and Derrick escorted his Mother to the floor for their
dance to “Landslide”. Before opening the
floor to everyone Megan asked her Grandfather to join her for a special dance to
“You Are My Sunshine” by Johnny Cash. It
was so sweet and he sang it to her while they danced. I opened the floor to everyone with some
Motown and top 40 that filled it for the rest of the night.
We paused briefly for the
bouquet toss to “Jump Around” and group pics with the Pi Phi and Sig Ep alumni,
then back to dancing. Their playlist was
a blast with beach music, oldies, top 40, some 70’s and 80’s and sing a longs all
night. We ended with “Closing Time” by
Semisonic before a blue and white pom pom exit and after party at Top Of The
Hill.
