Lauren and Michael were married on November 7, 2009 at the Bell Tower in Salisbury, NC. This was an unusual and very romantic location for a ceremony. The ceremony was set in the early evening when the light was perfect and the air was cool and still. The mothers and grandmothers were seated to Ave Maria and the wedding party processed in to Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. Lauren, escorted by her brother, walked down the aisle to Canon in D by Pachelbel. After the new couple joined hands, I played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Lauren chose this song because it had always been special to her and her father. Since her father had passed away, this was a special way for her to honor him during her ceremony. The day was clear and the air had been still the entire time that I had been playing. As soon as I began to play "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" the wind began to blow and the leaves rustled loudly. I believe that many of Lauren's guests felt her father's presence at the ceremony. This was a memorable and beautiful moment for the couple's family and guests.
The couple chose "Gavotte" as their recessional. This is an upbeat and joyful harp solo. Please visit www.ncharp.com/music for samples of "Gavotte" and many other pieces.
Thank you to Lauren and Michael for allowing me to be a part of your special day! Best wishes for a happy future together!
