On July 9 at CJs Off the Square (one of my favorite venues) Kathrine tied the knot with her sweetheart, Casey, in the presence of friends and family. We were a trio that day with Craig Duncan on violin and Gary Tussing on cello. Kathrine had decided on contemporary music for the prelude so we performed tunes such as “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, “Here Comes the Sun”, and “Tiny Dancer”. For the processionals we switched to the classics, bringing the mothers in to Bach’s “Arioso”, the bridesmaids and children to “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” and finally for Kathrine’s grand entrance “Canon in D”. After a lovely ceremony the newlyweds made their way back down the aisle to Mendelssohn’s famous “Wedding March”.
As I mentioned earlier CJs is one of my favorite venues. They do such a good job of organizing the processionals and letting the musicians know when it’s time to begin the ceremonial music. We really appreciate not being forgotten in the controlled chaos of weddings so that we can do our job easily and gracefully.
So it’s time to say congratulations to Kathrine and Casey and wish them a long and happy life together.
