Amelia & Chris - September 13, 2008

Amelia & Chris planned long-distance, she from Connecticut and he from Atlanta. They are a great couple - fun and interesting, and extremely low key! We planned a lot by email, but got an extra chance to meet with them about a month ago.

Since they were out of town, they hired Colleen from Classic Weddings to oversee things. She did a great job of orchestrating and coordinating, and so did Blackstone Catering. We were in good hands all around.

The reception was held at Easton's Beach Rotunda in Newport, a beautiful spot right on the beach! The carousel is also part of the package there, what fun to have your guests go for a ride during cocktail hour! Owned by the City of Newport, this venue was recently renovated, and it looks great! We have a few pics as usual.

A couple of fun musical things - their first dance was played live by a friend on the guitar (amazing), and the Father/daughter dance was a tribute to Amelia's upbringing in Missouri - the St. Louis Blues (and choreographed)! The crowd was from all over, they had guests (and Red Sox fans) from several states and other countries! Everyone danced to the oldies and the latest hits. And, the Bose sounded incredible in that round room! We loved it!

Here are their songs:
Parent’s Introduction: When I’m 64 By The Beatles
Bridal Party Introduction: Busta Move By Young MC
Bride & Groom Introduction: Dirty Water By Dropkick Murphys
Father/Daughter Dance: St. Louis Blues March By Glenn Miller
Mother/Son Dance: Somewhere Over The Rainbow By Iz
Anniversary Dance: The Luckiest By Ben Folds
Last Dance Of The Evening: by Ray Lamontagne
