Wedding and Rain at Greystone Golf Club and Banquet Center in Romeo

Congratulations to Meghan and Chris on their wedding this past weekend at Greystone Golf Club and Banquet Center in Romeo. Virginia of Design Studio CM2 did a phenomenal job with the floral design on the outside arbor. We were awed by the beauty of the flowers and her unique presentation. The bridal party wore beautiful gowns in an array of summer colors similar to those found in the floral displays. Sadly, the weather did not cooperate for Meghan and Chris and they did not have a back up plan. The rain moved in and made it almost impossible for us to play. Fortunately, we did bring a small canopy and were able to provide the music for the ceremony itself. The couple chose all popular music including Wind Beneath My Wings for the bridal processional, Love Story by Taylor Swift for the sand ceremony and Don’t Stop Believing for the recessional. This unfortunate situation highlights the need for a back up venue in the event of poor weather, an issue especially important here in Michigan. Our concerns are for the safety of the instruments, and our ability to provide quality music. While the weather was not ideal, Meghan and Chris were surrounded by friends, family and beautiful flowers to mark the beginning of their married life. We wish the very best as they begin life as husband and wife.

Wedding at St. John’s Lutheran’s Church in Romeo

Congratulations to Anne and Andrew on their recent wedding at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Romeo. Pastor Mark conducted a thoughtful service that conveyed the sanctity of the ceremony. The seven bridesmaids, wearing vibrant pink dresses, all processed to Pachelbel’s Canon while Anne chose the sentimental song “You’re Still You” for her bridal processional. During Communion, we played Ave Maria and Bach’s Sheep May Safely Graze as the new couple served their guests the sacraments. It was a personal and touching gesture. Sentiment was certainly the theme for the day and enhanced with presence of a “special” guest. Daniel, Anne’s brother is currently serving our country in Iraq. His image, in the form of a life size poster, was present in the ceremony and all the family photographs. It was a tribute to a family’s love and his great service to our country. We wish Anne and Andrew the very best as they begin their new life together.
