Johnny Gonzales The Wedding Ceremony Cocktail Hour Reception Guitarist

How Fair Is Thine Eyes - Before The First Piece Of Cake Is Thrown, Throw A New Tradition Tradition proclaims that during the wedding cocktail hour many a nuptial couple takes a slice of their wedding cake and then perceives to physically hurl it into their new husband or wife's face. Fascinating. While I am an eclectic wedding cocktail hour guitarist of neuveau traditions I do see a different slice of shared tradition to give to my future love. If the wedding cake embodies the entirety of their love then its time to give that slice of love a new tradition. Instead of a piece of cake shoved in my loves face I present this idea to the poetic couple; how about a poem or sonnet or even a short jotting down of ones irrevocable love accompanied ever so lightly by your wedding entertainer? It could be something additional to add outside of the normal wedding ceremony. Accentuating a quiet proclamation of endearing love with a favorite musical theme of your love would fa...

  Nothing can replace the moment when the groom first meet his future bride to be. But during the wedding cocktail hour, that moment can be relived with a song that he has specially chosen for her. It is his song for his love. Something that has all the elements of her. A love ballad perhaps. Or some exotic musical instrumental that can only be attributed to everything she is. And it will not only be that song for her, but it will also be a song that will always be for the two them. If there is a special feeling about her that he wants to say but just cannot find the words this is your moment to express it. Take her hand once again and create your fathomless love for her with a song from The Wedding Cocktail Hour Guitarist, Johnny Gonzales. Johnny Gonzales - www.johnnygonzalesmusic.com

Before the Top 40 band and or your DJ gets the entire wedding out on the dance floor, does it seem like time in your wedding is going by fast?  And maybe you wish you had a few moments to share with a loved one that has meant the world to you and your husband? Could your parents be one of those special loved ones? If so, then I would consider choosing a special song to be played during the wedding cocktail hour.

It then could be that moment to rekindle a special moment between your father and or your mother reminding you of all the wonderful things you wanted to tell your parents, like how much you love them and how much they mean to you. A special song during the wedding cocktail hour dedicated to your mother or father could be that once in a lifetime moment with them that will last forever. Your parents will always cherish that moment because you specifica...
