Stephanie & Matthew

Congratulations to Stephanie and Matthew on their marriage! Stephanie and Matthew were married Friday evening, August 14 in a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony at Matthew's childhood home near Colonial Country Club in Thomasville, North Carolina. The wedding was held in the front yard of the beautiful Tudor style home in facing a gorgeous English garden. For the prelude, I performed a variety of classical and popular selections, including Ode to Joy by Beethoven, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach, and Over the Rainbow by Arlen/Harburg. I performed First Arabesque by Debussy for the seating of the mothers, Sheep May Safely Graze for the entrance of the bridal party, and Trumpet Voluntary by Clarke for the entrance of the bride. During the ceremony, I performed You Raise Me Up by Lovland/Graham after the giving of the bride and The Prayer by Sager/Foster during the lighting of the unity candle. For the recessional, I performed How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You) by Holland/Dozier/Holland. Afterwards, I played a short postlude as guests proceeded to Colonial Country Club for the reception. I had so much fun being part of this beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony! Congratulations again to this beautiful couple on their gorgeous August wedding!
