2007-05-05 George & Rebecca Wedding Marriott Key Largo Bay Resort, Key Largo, Florida Keys

George & Becky have given us a new reason to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It was a cool and sunny day day in the fabulous Florida Keys. Perfect for a wedding at the Marriott Key Largo Bay resort. I arrived 2 hours early to set up for the happy couples BIG day. I went upstairs to the banguet room at Gus' Grille. While I was setting up. Caribbean Passion Steel Drum Duo was downstairs setting up for the ceremony. The staff of the Marriott were also busy, busy, busy getting the place readied up for the grand event. George and his groomsmen arrived in their tuxedos with powder blue accents. They looked great. He was smiling and nervous and happy. The guests arrived shortly after. The bride's charriott (Marriott Golfcart) arrived and Rebbecca looked gorgeous. I took my place near the steel drummers to cue them when to play the wedding march.. The ceremony was presided over by Judge Marriott, a family friend. It was very sweet. After the ceremony, I helped them drummers move under the carport for the cocktail area. At 8:30 pm, it was time to make our way to the main reception room. I announced the wedding party and the first dances. The toast by the best man.was very heartfelt. The dinner at the Marriot was excellent as usual. The cake cutting was the last formality. Then it was time for the party. The bride and groom chose a fine blend of disco, pop, r&b, rap and rock. The folks were their to dance and I was happy to be playing for them. What a sweet group of family and friends. George and Becky are off to a great start.
