Saturday evening in Catonsville, MD, Andrea & Joel celebrated their marriage with a reception at Overhills Mansion. As guests arrived they enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, and music from The Guardians of the Galaxy Soundtrack as the Groom is a huge comic book fan. DJ Frank Marsden gathered everyone into the Mansion’s ballroom and then formally introduced the Bridal Party in while playing “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder. Andrea & Joel danced their first dance as a married couple to “All This Time” by One Republic. That was followed by the Father of the Bride welcoming friends and family, the Maid of Honor and both Best Men then toasted/roasted the happy couple, and Joel’s Father offered a blessing prior to the buffet opening. Towards the end of the meal, the Bride and her Father danced to Stevie Wonder’s “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life” and about a minute into their dance, DJ Frank (per the Bride’s request) mixed in “Walking On Broken Glass” by Annie Lennox to surprise Andrea’s Father as it was a sentimental song for both of them. Joel and his Mother were next and they danced to Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers”. DJ Frank opened up the dance floor for everyone and started the night off with Usher’s “Yeah”. Songs by artists such as Whitney Houston, The Black Eyed Peas, Pitbull, AC/DC and many more were requested and played through the evening. The new Mr. & Mrs. Gast cut their cake to “Hold My Hand” by Hootie & The Blowfish midway through the celebration. A wonderful evening full of love, laughter, family, and friends wrapped up just before midnight with a final dance to “Dirty Bit” by The Black Eyed Peas. Congratulations to two really great people who are madly in love and so much fun!
