Wedding DJ Brian and His Lovely Bride Tammy Wed at the University Club!

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.

Sarah and John's Fabulous Wedding at The Oaks at Salem!

Last August I met Sarah and John. They contacted me because I am a preferred officiant at their venue, <a href="http://theoaksatsalem.com/" target="_blank">The Oaks at Salem</a>. Also turns out that John works at a state agency that I worked at for 15 years before retiring in 2008 and doing weddings full-time. Their DJ, Bill Smith, also works at the agency. So, really the whole team felt like family and John and Sarah and I had fun putting together their wonderful romantic ceremony. The wedding day was June 21, 2014--hot but not raining. Thankfully they both agreed that their ceremony should take place under the tent with the cooling fans, out of the heat, especially for their grandmothers, parents and guests, and ME! Thank you, Sarah and John!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju9OQv5u8o09AYBcOdUKJ9U14Ah4cnCgRLsOqM6ei0uWygurAnSg2syQUTOcwMWhQupcMZ-MtpRLrXPL99szdm0Me6MAa8oNSsf2SDxnj2xoNMYoz7D5mvVq6GfYALyK3muC3_SDe2D-k/s1600/DSCN9608.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju9OQv5u8o09AYBcOdUKJ9U14Ah4cnCgRLsOqM6ei0uWygurAnSg2syQUTOcwMWhQupcMZ-MtpRLrXPL99szdm0Me6MAa8oNSsf2SDxnj2xoNMYoz7D5mvVq6GfYALyK3muC3_SDe2D-k/s1600/DSCN9608.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Sarah is a Pinterest gal (and so am I)! So it was fun to see what they had created for their wedding. One thing is this sweet little table made of wood logs. I don't know if they personally made it or found it somewhere.
