We headed up to the Arrowwood Resort at Lake Okoboji, Iowa this weekend for one of our largest and most fun weddings ever! There were many moments where things could have gone wrong, but everything went smoothly and it turned into a very special occasion. We were crammed into a little corner during dinner, so once they cleared the dance floor, we moved the lights onto the floor (which was very precarious, I hope we never have to do that again!). One of the best moments was during the father daughter dance- the brides brother sang and played guitar live, and it was a song he had written. It was really beautiful and I am glad it turned out the way it did; he had tried to send us a mp3 of the song, but his computer crashed and playing live was the only option. There aren't too many moments like that!
The reception was so much fun! The couple's friends and family were there to have a great time and it was wonderful to play for a crowd that was enjoying themselves so much. The dance floor was crowded all night and we got lots of compliments throughout. We ended up playing 30 minutes longer than our contract, but probably could have played all night! We had several requests for 'Piano Man' by Billy Joel and the groom asked that we play it at the end of the night. Little did we know that this song held special meaning for most of them. They all gathered in an circle at the center of the dance floor and dropped their pants! I have never seen anything like it! We were told later that this is something done every night at the bar they used to frequent in college.
We had so much fun and took lots of pictures. The groom's father said they have 3 more kids, so we hope they ask us back, its definitely a crowd we would love to entertain again! See the entire photo gallery here: http://picasaweb.google.com/kristen.cline/ZachAndSusieLewis
