French/Winstead Reception-July 25th, 2009
July 27th, 2009
Sally and Michael’s reception was at Treyburn Country Club in Durham this past weekend. It was a hot, but gorgeous day and all of the guests arrived right on time to the reception. I was ready and waiting and the event was right on time. Lauren Barry at Treyburn was great to work with and helped keep us on schedule throughout the event. After lining up everyone for the intros, I came back upstairs and introduced them to “Love” by Nat King Cole. The bride and groom then went into their choreographed first dance to “I’ll Be”, however, not by Edwin McCain, but the groom himself had actually rearranged it, sped it up, and recorded it. It actually sounded better than the original! I loved his arrangement of the song. I sound like Randy Jackson on American Idol right now, don’t I? After they danced, Sally danced with her dad to “I Loved Her First” by Heartland and Mike danced with his mom to “The Perfect Fan” by Backstreet Boys. The blessing was given and the buffet was opened. The country club served some great food and afterwards we heard 2 great toasts, cut the lovely cake by Lynn’s Traditions and then opened the dance floor with the couple’s choice, “ABC” by the Jackson 5. It was on from that point forward! Great dance response to all types of music, and ending the night with “You Shook Me All Night Long” and then “Stand By Me” (fyi, the last song at my wedding). Great reception start to end!
