Gibson/Miller Reception 7/12/08
July 16th, 2008
Jill and Chris’ reception was held at the Embassy Suites Cary off Harrison Avenue. We had a busy day there since Randy Bennett, one of my other DJ’s, did an early reception for Kristen Riordan. I actually caught the end of his show! He rocked it! Anyway, back to mine. We did a huge introduction to U2’s “Beautiful Day” and then they actually went to their head table, not their first dance. The father of the bride gave a welcome and then there was a blessing and an amazing slideshow presentation that the mother of the groom composed. A buffet dinner was served and as soon as it was over we knocked out their first dance which was “I Only Have Eyes for You” by the Flamingos. They didn’t really have a song of their own so they “borrowed” this one from Jill’s grandparents that had been married for 56 years. When I announced this, everyone gave a big AWWWWWW. It was perfect. The matron of honor and best man gave great toasts and then the party took off.
Jill promised a big dancing crowd and she didn’t let me down. She had picked a great song list and people of all ages were on the floor from the first to the last dance. It was a great night altogether and by the end Jill was worn out (just as I had promised…:)
