Ceremony Harpist, St George Greek Orthodox Church, Chicago




The last wedding of the 2024 season was so much fun! Now in general, I wouldn't be allowed to provide music for the wedding in a Greek Orthodox Church, but apparently, it is okay if I sit just outside the door, and play towards the church!! I was absolutely delighted to do so, and there were a number of really lovely things that happened at this wedding. First of all, the beautiful bride was pulling up as I was unloading, so I got all of my last minute instructions from the sweetest, most reliable person ever! Then I find out that the "flower bros" are full grown men, who have worked up a whole routine to "You're My Best Friend" by Queen. I was there so early that we even got to do a little rehearsal! Finally, positioned as I was, I was close enough to see the bride's face as she crossed the threshold of the church, and headed up to marry the love of her life. <sigh> Perfection!!
