August began with a trip to Freeport, IL, for the wedding of Nicole & Mark. The Duck Pond at Krape Park was a new venue for me, so I arrived WAY too early to scope out the location. Even though it rained the whole drive there, the skies cleared for the 3:00pm ceremony. The ducks and geese kept their distance, but you had to watch where you stepped – and where I could set up the harp!
Their wedding colors were light pink and black, and they had a Cinderella theme. The music selections included:
- Storybook Love from “The Princess Bride” as the prelude
- Canon in D by Pachelbel for the bridal party processional
- Bridal Chorus (Here Comes the Bride) by Wagner for the bride’s processional
- A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes from “Cinderella” as a harp solo/interlude
- Wedding March by Mendelssohn as the recessional
