Finally the big day has arrived and we were all gathered in church for the wedding ceremony of Alan & Stephanie. Elaine and I played for the march-in, then together with Aaron for the opening hymns. During the acknowledgements, Stephanie sprang a surprise (albeit an “expected” one?) crooning Jim Brickman’s Valentine to Alan, while we accompanied her on the piano and violin. At the end the whole band (guitar, piano, violin and drums) played two hymns, with an upbeat last piece to round off the whole ceremony on a high! Watch the video below, a compilation of excerpts from the performance:
