Reminder: The names have been changed to protect the guilty!
On 12/31/22 Esther and Jason tied the knot in the Rotunda of the Country Music Hall of Fame. A quartet of Silver Strings was in attendance to bring music to this important rite of passage. Esther chose a mix of contemporary songs and hymns for the prelude such as “Wonderful Tonight”, “At Last”, “Hallelujah”, “Amazing Grace” and “The Prayer”. The processionals started off with the officiant and a grandmother entering to the Handel “Air” from the Water Music, followed by the mothers to “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”. Next came the wedding party in couples along with 2 young junior bridesmaids to Pachelbel’s “Canon in D”. Esther chose Wagner’s “Wedding March” aka Here Comes the Bride for her entrance on her father’s arm. After the vows were said and rings exchanged, the quartet played Schubert’s “Ave Maria” while they lit a Unity Candle. The couple were then pronounced husband and wife, invited to share their first kiss and then presented as Mr. and Mrs. as the quartet played the Mendelssohn “Wedding March Recessional” from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In honor of the Country Music Hall of Fame we played a rousing “Forever and Ever Amen” as guests left to continue the festivities elsewhere in the building.
Congratulations to Esther and Jason! Silver Strings wishes them a long and happy life together full of joy and blessings!
