Lovely Avondale

Last Saturday Ashlee played at a lovely outdoor wedding for Mary Baer and Marty Fiorentiono in Elizabeth Park. The small park on the St John's River made for a very romantic and intimate event. As the guests were being seated, Ashlee played an arrangement of solo classical music. The Bridal Party entered the ceremony as she played Bach's, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and the Bride came down the aisle to Trumpet Voluntary by Clark. After a scripture reading of Matthew 7:21, 24 -27 Ashlee played The Lord's Prayer. The Ceremony was full of joy and excitement for the Bride and Groom . After they were introduced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Marty Fiorentiono, Ashlee played Spring from Vivaldi's Four Seasons for the Bridal Party's Recessional. The ceremony and music were brought together beautifully thanks to the diligent preparations and professional work of Mary's Coordinator, Jennifer Symmes*.

After the ceremony Ashlee joined the wedding party and guests to perform at the Reception. The Reception took place at a beautiful historic home in Avondale. As the guests enjoyed great food catered by Biscottis, Ashlee played in the courtyard and Cam from Class Act Jazz Group** played jazz piano inside. The String Group would like to thank Cam for contacting us to do this event! The excitement continued as the Bride and Groom made their way around the reception, speaking with all of the people that had had such a special part in their lives.

Matthew 7:24-27 (NAS)

The Two Foundations

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them,

may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house;

and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them,

will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house;

and it fell--and great was its fall."

Ashlee enjoyed being a part of this lovely day and wishes the Bride and Groom a marriage filled with laughter and love!
