My first three events this month were pretty basic – March began with a church fundraising banquet, a swim team’s spring awards banquet, and my teen dance. So, I was very happy to be at Josh & Kelly’s wedding reception Saturday night at the Fireside Grille in Middleboro. Despite the wet weather, their 75 guests were in great spirits. The evening began at 6 with the wedding ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour, dinner, and then dancing. Everyone had fun, dancing to songs like Bobby Darin’s “Beyond The Sea”, Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”, and REO Speedwagon’s “Keep On Loving You” (a request from the groom’s mom).
Josh & Kelly had hired me fairly recently, but we clicked right away during our initial consultation. Kelly’s a big fan of John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band, because they were here first live concert experience. Coincidentally, the first concert I had ever been to was also a John Cafferty show (way back in 1986 – thanks Mom!). Needless to say, “Tender Years” went over very well, with the newlyweds sharing the dance with the parents of the bride.
Congratulations, Josh & Kelly!
