Rabbit, rabbit! So it kinda blows my mind that it’s already AUGUST! Where has this year gone?! As we bring in August on this Monday, I have quite the wedding to show you!

From Jazz, to musicals, to swing, to rock n’ roll, to coordinated routines, John and Lynette covered every type of music they loved – and had a BLAST doing so! With such a unique medley, they truly had a customized soundtrack to their special day. During the final song of the night (New York, New York by Frank Sinatra) the guests joined in a big group hug and sang along as John and Lynette soaked in the memories.

Dinner
Lynette shares: I love old movies and I used to work in a cinema, so for our table names we choose 1950’s romantic movies, and from this, the music we played in the background during our reception was tunes from these movies, everyone was singing along during their dinner to the music which was playing in the background.
