Fall Wedding At Cornelius Pass Roadhouse

Published October 6, 2012 | By Rich Ellis

Our amazing run of summer weather continues into October… only one day of measurable rain in the last 78 is quite a streak for the Pacific Northwest. At 5:35pm on Friday, October 5, 2012, it was an ideal 72 degrees under sunny skies for the start of Kelly and Luke’s wedding held at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse in Hillsboro, Oregon

Ceremony Highlights:

Bridal Party Entrance: Ben Harper – Not Fire Not Ice
Bride Entrance: Ben Harper – Happy Everafter In Your Eyes
Bride/Groom Exit: Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling

The reception was in the Octagon Barn and guests mingled to a mix of adult alternative hits from Coldplay, Jack Johnson and others, including one of the bride’s favorites, Mumford & Sons.

Reception Highlights:

First Dance: Avett Brothers – Swept Away
Bride and Father Dance: Jack Johnson – Better Together
Groom and Mother Dance: Same
Bouquet Toss: Pat Benatar – Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Garter Toss: Kelis – Milkshake
Last Song: Jason Mraz – I Won’t Give Up

There were quite a few people dancing to the background music during the cocktail hour, so I had a good feeling about this group. The dance floor filled quickly and Kelly and Luke’s friends and family had a great time shakin’ and groovin’ to the latest Top 40 hits, along with a few older favorites.

It was good to see two couples who had referred me to Kelly and Luke. I had the pleasure of performing at Adrienne and Seth’s wedding in July, 2009 at McMenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove and Ashley and Brady in March, 2007 at Surfsand Resort in Cannon Beach.
