I will always remember MaryBeth and Steven’s wedding as the only time I’ve ever stopped at McDonald’s on the way to the reception! When we pulled over alongside the limos at McDonald’s, I just thought that someone had to use the rest rooms…..then, after about 15 minutes, the groom and ushers came out of the restaurant with many bags of food! Well, they did have a few hours before cocktails started so why not?
At least they weren’t cranky for pictures at the absolutely gorgeous Garrison right along the Hudson River! It was a crisp, sunny October day and the backdrop was just perfect for the formal photos.
They had just enough sun to have the cocktail hour outside on the deck overlooking the brilliant foliage. Then it was inside to party in style to to the sounds of DJ Bri Swatek. I think that he had every person there up on the dance floor at one point or another, mixing oldies with hip-hop, swing, slow songs…..the dance floor was non-stop all night!
MaryBeth and Steve were fixtures on the dance floor as well; I think they danced to every single slow song! Not to be outdone, their parents were no slouches in the dance department! MaryBeth’s parents danced to their wedding song from 40 years ago and Steve’s dad had me cracking up all night with his dance moves!
It was just a fun, beautiful and heartfelt day and I want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Griffen for having me there!
