{Events} Lt. and Mrs. Chris and Sarah Sands

I would like to say that I prepare for my events. Over-prepare even. I think being late to an event is my worst fear. This wedding was my first wedding of 2012. I had been dealing with my clients via email only and we had never even met! The playlist was done and backed up and the truck was loaded with all of the equipment. I was ready. I was lucky enough to even convince my super duper sister-in-law, Gwen, to come as my assistant!

Isn't she just loverly!? (This was at mine and J's wedding...she was giving her crappy speech that made no one cry.)

Anywho ;)

We headed out with enough time to get to Langley Air Force Base to set up. (Oh. Did I mention this was a military wedding! Time is crucial people!) I put the address to the commonwealth center in my GPS and it took us to the Nasa gate. Uh. Woah. Hold my drink. NASA? No no. I want LAFB. The guy at the gate was helpful and gave us the right directions because we couldn't get in this gate on the weekends. Minor setback. No big deal. That is why you leave early! 15 minutes later we finally got to the right gate and made our way through. We were a little more behind than I am used to but we made it work! We got there and set up in just enough time! Whew!

I was so excited to meet Sarah because she was so nice to deal with while planning her reception and the music she requested was just FUN! (I love 80's and 90's dance music...it is just to easy.) When I did meet her we hugged it out and felt like old friends. I had a little girl crush right away because she looked AMAZE. Like just stunning. When I saw her and Chris together, it was just adorable. <3

The music was going, drinks were flowing and the guests were itching to dance. I was so excited to get the dance music started during dinner but it helped that I was allowed to play some awesome dinner music....
