A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Katie & Jason’s Backyard Beatles Bliss
This blissful backyard event not only had a wonderful soundtrack, but also the loving touch of friends and family. From Katie’s Great Grandmother’s buttons incorporated throughout the décor, to the live butterflies that were released during the emotional ceremony, to the friends that serenaded the love birds. Of course the tunes were incredible…and Jason had only one request when it came to the music: to have a Beatles tribute band play at the wedding. Luckily, it just so happens that Katie’s brother, Rick, is actually in a Beatles tribute band. Not only did they play a medley of favorites from the Fab Four, but Rick also performed a special song that was written just for Katie and Jason!

Thank you for sharing this with us who were there but especially with those who weren’t able to make it. A special thanks to Pam, Greg and Katie for coming up with the idea for such a special evening.
