I've known Brian McGuire, DJ, of <a href="http://www.mcsoundproductions.com/" target="_blank">McSound Productions</a> for more than 10 years. He is a constant in the wedding industry and is well respected for his presence and ability to DJ weddings and other events with proficiency and fun. In February of 2008, I officiated the wedding of Bill Smith, DJ with <a href="http://www.northcarolinadj.com/" target="_blank">Magic of Music</a>, and his wonderful wife, Sandra. Brian and his girlfriend Tammy were at the wedding. They told me, and it is included in their ceremony as part of their story, that when Brian proposed last November, Tammy said, <i>"So all I have to do is buy a dress and show up, right? You've got this planning thing covered?"</i> To which Brian replied, <i>"If you trust me to plan our wedding, I certainly know all of the vendors that I would like to use." </i>So, they started making calls, got the date set and got every vendor they wanted on the first call. It was meant to be!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirgXKcRHvhad9IcGojTiN5szfebl5XxI77AEDUbngNOOmO_Saoyu6GV4AjKuipSk2ROD8PAfm5FssQ6xKd2eIodVd6q111GNUB7QUYIBJYJ5qz_paNDFcoZZwgBzPkx3AQVCQ43jMOlO4/s1600/DSCN1871.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirgXKcRHvhad9IcGojTiN5szfebl5XxI77AEDUbngNOOmO_Saoyu6GV4AjKuipSk2ROD8PAfm5FssQ6xKd2eIodVd6q111GNUB7QUYIBJYJ5qz_paNDFcoZZwgBzPkx3AQVCQ43jMOlO4/s1600/DSCN1871.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>The venue that fit them best was the <a href="http://universityclubnc.com/weddings-events/weddings/" target="_blank">University Club</a> in Durham.

We are on the 17th floor of a building that overlooks the area of Durham around the 15-501 bypass and Duke. On each table they had a framed good luck symbol and explanation--key, wishing well, bamboo, penny, elephant, etc.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFn2hYmAMS4fUTIlpW0NN4LCnhBM91-mgkw1reVDdxoWqrTzlGYT_JJrh0QZH0J_s9Xy1UreewE-zbsq154wyp36YSM9C9JQrZf-ZaMWDH7hZ8qtlwMcyz0jIu20nELGHOCTJPxWZW3l0/s1600/DSCN1890.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFn2hYmAMS4fUTIlpW0NN4LCnhBM91-mgkw1reVDdxoWqrTzlGYT_JJrh0QZH0J_s9Xy1UreewE-zbsq154wyp36YSM9C9JQrZf-ZaMWDH7hZ8qtlwMcyz0jIu20nELGHOCTJPxWZW3l0/s1600/DSCN1890.JPG" width="387" /></a></div>The cake/cupcakes were by <a href="http://www.sugarlandchapelhill.com/" target="_blank">Sugarland</a>.

But they wanted companionship so they decided to meet in person. At this point in the story I am saying <i>"After they made the date, Brian wrote Tammy a note telling her he had a shaved head and asked if that would bother her. She laughed and told him that it didn't. And it's a good thing or we wouldn't be here today!" </i>The story continued that many years passed and since their kids were all growing up and they were becoming empty-nesters, maybe it was time to re-visit the subject of marriage. Last November, Brian came to the conclusion that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with this amazing woman he loved. So, he proposed and she said yes! And Brian started planning the wedding!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDRqJS1BkOiKYXZZTxl0qfmBQKvOhIUrT6lBQy4SK34Tjreph2O-uQe4xTQATCrDq8U_rtNwARXqSgO3c_9xEvhW9egLH3Y_EhVrYJsixAn91LsEINqGcFJvWrXrpcyRFhhAtwR45XVCA/s1600/DSCN1967.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDRqJS1BkOiKYXZZTxl0qfmBQKvOhIUrT6lBQy4SK34Tjreph2O-uQe4xTQATCrDq8U_rtNwARXqSgO3c_9xEvhW9egLH3Y_EhVrYJsixAn91LsEINqGcFJvWrXrpcyRFhhAtwR45XVCA/s1600/DSCN1967.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Tammy and Brian wanted to include the Celtic hand-fasting ceremony in their wedding to honor Brian's Irish heritage.

I had not even the slightest clue that he had planned anything like that and in 9 years I had never heard him sing although I knew he had been in a band and played drums, and of course sang with them.
