Ranesha & Ryan's Wedding


Today we are heading to The United Veterans Association Of Blair County in Altoona for the Wedding Reception of Raneasha and Ryan. Mother Nature has continued her fun of raining on parades today with a steady cold rain. 

After the Grand Entrance and toasts by the maid of honor and best man, we were treated to a meal by the UVA, that was out of this world. We then cut the cake to "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen. Ryan was nice enough to feed Raneasha the cake, she made him take a shot to the chin of cake. A little cake battle ensued afterwards before they got cleaned up and took center stage for their first dance as husband and wife to "For You I Will" by Monica. The bridal party was then asked to join the bride and groom for a special dance to "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO. Followed by the God Mother/Daughter Dance & Mother/Son Dance.

We then opened the dance floor and paused for the garter/bouquet toss and the Mr & Mrs Game, where learned that Ryan is more likely to drop his phone in the toilet and is on Facebook more, while  Raneasha wears the pants in the relationship and is more likely to deal with a spider in the bathtub.

Cousin Steve then treated us to a short story about the accordion and than a polka played on his accordion.

There was some bizarre drinking game with the groom, best man, and a couple other male guests and groomsmen that happened to Thuderstruck from AC/DC...don't ask what, because we are not so sure we understood it either.

We then had to inform the Bride and Groom that somehow the song they had chosen as their last dance was for some reason coming up corrupted. We asked them if they had another song they would prefer and they said they would think of something. It was then we found out that the song was the first song they ever kissed to, and by god if we had to sing it ourselves we were going to make that song happen. After about 5 different ways of trying to figure out how to make it work with no Wi-Fi we figured it out and were able to make that special moment happen for them. The night ended with "What a Wonderful World" by The Clarks.

Congratulations To Mr & Mrs. Duffy!

Louise & Evan's Wedding

This week we are headed to Laurel Mountain Winery in Falls Creek, PA, for the wedding of Louise and Evan. This couple has actually been married since December of 2016, but had issues with getting friends and family together for the reception until now. We were set up inside a pavilion that overlooked the vines for the winery. The cocktail hour music was provided by a local artist who played guitar and sang for the cocktail hour. This was a laid back event so the bride and groom mingled during the cocktail hour. Towards the end of the cocktail hour we lined up the bridal party and did a grand entrance and then ate dinner which was provided by some of the guests, who brought their own recipes. After dinner Louise and Evan took to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife...Something that they had waited over a year to do. For the first time friends and family watched them dance to Ed Sheeran and Beyonce's "Perfect". We then partied later into the ...

Leslie & Mike's Wedding

All photos used in this post are courtesy of NixPix Photography Today we are heading to Laurel Rock Farms in Mifflintown for the Wedding Ceremony and Reception of Mike & Leslie. AJ actually went to school with Leslie so was honored when he was asked to DJ their wedding. Upon arriving it was an unusually warm day for October. The ceremony was to have been outside but with blazing sunshine and temperatures already near 90 degrees, Leslie made the call to move the ceremony indoors.  At 2PM, Mike and the groomsmen took their places down front as the Bridal Party made their way down the aisle. Then all the guests rose as Leslie made her way down the aisle to an instrumental version of "Marry Me" by Train. After the officiant presented the new Mr & Mrs Carter they walked back up the aisle to an instrumental version of "Beautiful Day" by U2. After a short receiving line, the bride, groom, bridal party, and families were taken for pictures by Nikkie...
