We started a lovely fresh June morning by setting off for The Carlton Bore in Carlton Husthwaite for Nick and Christine's wedding blessing.
We had previously met Christine when we performed for Debenhams in Meadowhall in February, she came with her lovely friend to see us.
We arrived at The Carlton Bore and was met by Greg the manager who I must say was fantastic, he was so helpful.
We set up half our equipment in the Carlton Bore and then we proceeded to the small church just down the road from the Carlton Bore to set up our equipment for the ceremony.
Lee was performing a version of Songbird by Fleetwood Mac for Christine and Nicks entrance into the church.
We had an hour of rehearsal time before hand which I recorded on my Blackberry and uploaded to our You Tube page.
Christine's youngest son met us at the church and was a real star he was absolutely lovely and so organised.
Christine and Nick arrived at 3pm and walked down the aisle to Lee performing Songbird, Christine was in floods of tears. Lee received a fantastic applause from the guests and Christine and Nick then proceeded to perform their vows. In the middle of the ceremony Lee also performed a version of Someone like you by Van Morrison which again received a fantastic applause. Both songs were chosen by Christine and Nick, Lee learnt both songs from scratch for them.
When the ceremony finished Christine and Nick went outside to have their photographs taken with their family and friends, while we packed the equipment away and went back to the Carlton Bore.
Christine and Nick had chosen a fantastic collection of songs to be played throughout their wedding Breakfast, which was a brilliant mixture of Soft Rock, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen to name a few. The food was absolutely fantastic and a real credit to The Carlton Bore.
Lee then acted as master of ceremonies for them and Christine's son gave a wonderful speech.
The whole Wedding Breakfast was so easy going and laid back it was a brilliant atmosphere and just what Christine and Nick had strived to achieve.
The evening entertainment commenced with Lee performing their first dance Andy Williams - Can't take my eyes off you, followed by a great selection of Bruce Springsteen (one of Nicks favourite artists) amongst many other artists.
Christine and Nick wanted a set selection of songs to be played for the Disco, which were a collection of songs that they loved and meant something to them.
It was a fabulous day and night, and a great pleasure to meet such lovely people.
We wish Christine & Nick all the luck and happiness in the world as they continue their lives together.
