"If your dilly-dilly heart
Feels a dilly-dilly way
If you'll answer yes
In a pretty little church
On a dilly-dilly day
You'll be wed in a dilly-dilly dress of
Lavender blue"


Lavender-Blue (Dilly Dilly)
Sammy Turner lyrics


Friday afternoon The String Group played for a wedding ceremony at Club Continental in Orange Park, Florida. After a prelude of classical music the ceremony began with the parents being seated to the quartet's performance of Lavender's Blue (dilly, dilly), a sweet English folk song from the 17th century. This piece was played at the request of the bride and specially arranged for The String Group's quartet by Hannah Barrow.


The beautiful french doors leading to Club Continental's courtyard were closed and re-opened for the entrance of the bride, cued by the quartet's start of the traditional Bridal March. The Bride and Groom recited their own heart-felt vows to one another and walked back up the aisle together as husband and wife while the quartet played The Wedding March by Felix Mendelssohn.

The String Group enjoyed being a part of this lovely ceremony and wishes the sweet couple all the best as they begin their lives together!

Quartet: Breana, Ashlee, Hannah and Beth

Music Coordinator: Jody and Doris
