Since meeting at a record store in 1992 music has always been a very important part of our lives. We dated for several months back then and with me being active duty Navy and her going to school abroad we lost touch for nearly twenty years. We reconnected a few years ago and got married on July 9th. Now why is this audio related?
Well we had a brief ceremony at Ravinia (A beautiful outdoor concert venue for you non Chicagoans) moments before a Duran Duran concert. Our vows contained song titles from our favorite artists (her's Depeche Mode, mine Judas Priest), and our hands were bound using a short run of Cardas speaker wire.
Our cake was decorated with the stylized rose from Depeche Mode's 'Violator' album and topped with a white chocolate razor blade representing Judas Priest's 'British Steel' LP.
Here's the most amazing part: Our invitations "borrowed" heavily from Duran Duran's 'Rio' album cover and unbeknownst to me my cousin is friend's with the band's PR director. He forwarded the invitation and the band loved it and what we were planning. They surprised us with a personalized card and a magnum of champagne!
We had over 80 guests who all bought lawn seats and joined us in the ceremony. The venue staff were very accommodating and total strangers who were also in attendance helped us with setup and cheered us on. The whole event turned out even better than I could've dreamed of.
