Ethel and Dave - May 24, 2009

Ethel contacted us based on a rave review from a friend who had been to a wedding we did last summer. Dave is in the Air Force, and they were living in Ohio, but then would be stationed in California in April. We didn't get to meet her until a couple of weeks ago, and we didn't get to meet Dave until the wedding! A couple of phone meetings, a few emails, an organized bride, and it was easy to put everything together.

The Newport Officer's Club was recently renovated, and looked beautiful. We have 2 other weddings and a birthday party there this summer, and we really enjoy working there.

Ethel chose a different song for each entrance. The music was a surprise for each couple, so it was a lot of fun. Here are their songs:

1. Grandparents Entrance: Life, Love, Laughter By Donavan Frankenreiter
2. Parents Entrance 1: Forever By Dropkick Murphys
3. Parent Entrance 2: Glory Days By Bruce Springsteen
