I had a wonderful time playing my flute, accompanied by my pianist, for a joyful wedding ceremony at the Broadmoor Resort this summer. I experienced torrential rains and flooding on my trip down to Colorado Springs, and I hoped that the rain would clear away by the time the ceremony began. The wedding ceremony was to take place on the South Terrace of the Broadmoor Resort, a location offering sweeping views of a serene lake and the majestic Colorado mountains. The bride had chosen a repertoire of nostalgic contemporary music to complement the romantic and summery feel that she wanted for her wedding day. As guests began to arrive, my pianist I played prelude music, setting the mood for the festivities to come. As it sprinkled rain, the guests mingled under the shelter of the terrace and enjoyed our music.
Finally, the moment for the ceremony to begin arrived, and the bride made her entrance to “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. For a brief time, it seemed that it would only sprinkle during the ceremony, But, nature had other plans and the rain gradually intensified. Soon, it became clear that the couple was contemplating a dash down the aisle to seek shelter! Officiant Phil Gallagher, ever the quick thinker, wrapped up with a few well placed words, and the couple dashed down the aisle to covered patio area. As they hurried for cover, my pianist and I played "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)" by Natalie Cole, an exciting accompaniment to everyone’s impromptu exit.
