wedding

i played piano and sang at a wedding two saturdays ago for my friends ed and brianna delagardelle.

they got married at the immaculate conception catholic church in sumner.

i had prepared some hymns and the unity candle song i had them choose- candle on the water from the disney movie pete's dragon.

so i go to rehearsal the night before the wedding and i meet father jim.

very nice man.  he asks me, do you play and sing, like together?

i say yes, and he shows me this responsorial psalm called this is the day.

i can tell right away that it means a great deal to him, and if i was gonna mess it up i might as well go home.

and i was also informed there was going to be a cello and violin to play the pro and recessional.  yay, less for me!

so the rehearsal went well, and then we went next door to the bed and breakfast that was there.

and had an amazing dinner!  like 5 courses, you can tell brianna's family is very close.  brandon just sat there in awe.... his dad passed, no sisters or brothers, his mom always working.

so wedding day, we get there on time, i know the hymn and we run through it, sounds great!  big relief :)

i actually had fun playing those inspirational songs, i'm such a church music lady in training.... LOL.

then we went to the reception- it was at the legion hall, everything looked beautiful!

we danced and danced, and it was a blast!
