November 11th 2011
11-11-11 a date that is pretty easy to remember. We drove to Maryvale Castle which is a historic Castle behind Maryvale Prep School on Falls Road in Greenspring Valley. It has been many years since I had been there. Event Entertainment provided dj and videography services for this wedding for Sherry Hu and Ryan Janssen. We worked with Yvonne, the day of coordinator. The bridesmaids were in purple and the bride looked absolutely gorgeous. The bride walked down the aisle (actually the stairs) to “Love Story” by Vitamin String Quartet. The theme of this wedding was a fairytale wedding and the bride referred to her husband as Prince Charming during the ceremony. After the ceremony the guest enjoyed the cocktail hour. The bride and groom were introduced to “Super Bass” by Nicki Minaj. The sit down dinner took place in the library room in the back of the castle. After dinner the bride and groom danced their first dance to “I Could Not Ask For More” by Sara Evans. The bride then danced with her father to “I Loved Her First” by Heartland and the groom with his mom to “I’ll Be” by Reba McEntire. The bride had a lot of friends who were younger and very outgoing so she wanted a “Club” type atmosphere with the music so we played a lot of the new current music throughout the dance portion of the evening. The bride and groom then cut the cake to the appropriate song “Today is a Fairytale” by Taylor Swift. The toast were then given by the Maid of Honor Maggy Hu and best man Dusty Janssen. The maid of honor told stories of being the younger sister and how the bride dropped her down the stairs when she was little and how happy she was to have a sister like Sherry. The best man then told stories of his younger brother in the 5th grade and his assignment of where you will be in 10 years and Ryan had said “In Love” and wished the couple all the best and in 50 years their grandchildren will say they are still “In Love”. They guest danced the night away and the bride and groom danced their last dance to “Then” by Brad Paisley. They had a bell ringing sendoff as the bride and groom departed. They are going on an Australian Cruise for their honeymoon very soon.
Congratulations Sherry and Ryan
