Stylin' at Le Vogue

Peter and Chrissy were happily wed on September 13th, 2008 at Le Vogue Reception hall.
If you've never been to Le Vogue, it's definitely a hall worth checking out. The food is impeccable, the service staff is extremely professional and the hall itself is probably one of the most stylish .

Back to Peter and Chrissy.....the stars of our show.....

What a cute couple..... and so much in love...you can really feel it.


The Directors rocked the house that night...

Tony crooned as the band bopped.....


Randi sang joyfully as Tony followed the dance floor so as to assess the band's next move....


(Being in a live band is like playing chess. Your opponent in this case is the dance floor. Any next move is crucial and must be strategized. ....Lists might change on the fly...it's an intuitive awareness of what might keep the crowd dancing. )


During the band's break, close friends took that opportunity to serenade the new bride and groom.


Next was the second opening dance......

Why a second dance you might ask?

How a tradition has evolved......

Once upon a time in the Italian community there was only one dance for the bride and groom. This was called the "Welcome dance". In those days, no one would dance during the meal so not to show disrespect to the couple. The Welcome dance took place after the meal. An outcry from newlyweds raged... They wanted their guests to dance the entire evening. And so, thus began a set of two dances. The first opening dance and then the welcome dance after the meal. The second dance incorporated confetti and streamers which bound the couple in a symbolic union as we see below.


Most halls don't allow confetti anymore...as you could imagine it can be quite messy...
Le Vogue however is one of the only remaining halls which still allows it and won't charge you for the mess.
....................................................
And yet another tradition ...the garter and bouquet toss....


Another evening of spectacular performance and good times comes to a close, as it always does.

The Directors would like to thank Peter and Chrissy and wish them all the best of future luck.
Thanks also to Frank from Le Vogue and his very competent, professional and accommodating service staff.


Sincerely,

The Directors.
