Rebecca & Alex's Wedding Story
Rebecca and Alex used the loggia of Hever Castle for their boho-styled wedding ceremony (and apparently went for pizzas at their local pub afterwards!). The English weather came up trumps for once and moved from atmospheric fog to summery sun in this gorgeous lakeside setting. Playing semi-outdoors was no problem for our acoustic string quartet. This wedding was all about personal touches rather than tradition: Rebecca and Alex were escorted up the aisle by their respective dogs, he to the Magnificent Seven theme and she to the Indiana Jones title music (Rebecca got us as a surprise wedding present for Alex and she loves film music among other things!). They left the ceremony to Edward Sharpe's Home, a song which several people have said is their favourite ever when they've heard us playing it. During the drinks reception immediately afterwards, the newlyweds had photos within earshot of their guests and us playing, and instructed us which of their requests they particularly wanted played when they were nearer by and would appreciate them.
