November Rain No Match For Portland Wedding Celebration

November 13, 2011 | Author Rich Ellis

The picturesque Queen Anne Victorian Mansion in North Portland was the scene for Shanel and Thomas’ wedding ceremony and reception on November 12, 2011. Approximately 50-plus guests were expected. However, a wet, blustery day kept some from getting there as many guests were traveling from Seattle and Eastern Washington, so the final number was closer to 35.

Despite the conditions outside, it was a beautiful ceremony in the gazebo. The wedding party entered to Pachelbel’s ‘Canon In D’, followed by the bride who chose ‘At Last’ from Etta James as her entrance song. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Shanel and Thomas exited to U2′s ‘Beautiful Day’ and guests followed them to the mansion for cocktails and cake, while the gazebo was turned for dinner and the reception.

Wedding Reception Highlights:

First Dance: Paramore – The Only Exception
Bride and Stepfather Dance: Louis Armstrong – What A Wonderful World
Groom and Bride’s Mother Dance: Nat King Cole – Unforgettable
Bouquet Toss: Pat Benatar – Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Garter Toss: Queen – Another One Bites the Dust
Last Dance: Beatles – All You Need Is Love

Proof you don’t always need a lot of people to make a party, everyone had a great time dancing to a variety of music, including bride and groom favorites (Beatles hits, Journey and Jason Mraz).

Congratulations to Shanel and Thomas. Best wishes and thank you for choosing PRO DJs. -Rich
