Wedding Day of Victoria and James

A most unique wedding ceremony and reception took place at Casa Labia, yesterday the 23 March 2013.
It was the wedding of Victoria and James.
I've been approached months ago by Victoria to perform the piano for them at the wedding.
Only 36 guests were invited and it was exceptional from the logistics point of view. The lounge adjacent to the ballroom was converted into a small and intimate chapel where the ceremony took place. The service was conducted by James's uncle from New Zealand.
Tania Mill, Events & Café Manager organised the rose pebbles on the floor in the aisle leading to the make- shift alter. The wedding couple took their vows standing in the center shaped like a heart which Tania also created with rose pebbles.
The unique and somewhat modern choice of music requested for the bride walking down the aisle made me scuttle and search my music archives at home a few days prior to the event. Could not at first, find it and then went onto the www to look for this music. My inner little voice told me that I'm wasting valuable time on the internet and that I should just call the Grimaldi's from Monaco for the sheet music.
I think they would have smiled but I'm 100% sure that they do have a copy of this music as memorabilia. I eventually found the music tucked away in between single sheets. It smelled liked mothballs and that probably saved it from being consumed by those little pests called silvery fish moths.
The suspense is probable killing the readers of this post.
The music requested was none other than "True Love" from High Society. Guess who were the stars? (They were all so young!)
(Attached image is the front cover of the sheet music). Also have a look at the price that time when I bought it. Amazing! To buy that music now is $5.25

I'm also including snapshots from my android device of how the setup for the wedding, was created in the make-shift chapel and the ballroom.
Casa Labia staff and culinary chef really made this wedding ceremony and reception for Victoria and James memorable.
