Riley/Dorn Reception-2/21/09
February 24th, 2009
Elicia and Grant’s wedding this past Saturday took place at the Sheraton Capital Center in downtown Raleigh. I love working there and got to work with my friend Maite that I have known for years. The guests were a little early for the cocktail hour, but I was ready and waiting for them. After cocktails, the guests moved into the ballroom and I got everyone ready in the hall for the big introduction. I will have to admit, this was a great one! The parents came in to “Simply the Best” by Tina Turner, the bridesmaids and groomsmen then danced in to “Rosa Park” by Outkast. Finally, Elicia and Grant came in fake boxing to the Rocky theme song!!! It was great and as Grant swung at her and froze, I mixed right into their first dance, “You Had me From Hello” by Kenny Chesney. It was great! The parent dances were to “When You Wish Upon a Star” by Tony Bennett, “Sunshine of my Life” by Stevie Wonder, and “Song for Mama” by Boyz II Men.
After dinner, we moved into toasts and cake cutting. They smeared each other and had to clean up a little, but then the dancing started…and never stopped. This crowd came to party and it was rocking! I played alot of hip hop and new country by request of the bride and groom. I was mixing it up all over the place! What a scene. I had a ball and I think that they did too. Thanks guys! Check out some of the great pictures below by photographer and friend Martha Manning.
