When I arrived at the vineyard (early, of course!), I was the first one there. The chairs were all set up, and flowers delivered, but there was no one to be found. Just to be on the safe side, I called their back-up ceremony location to make sure that the earlier rain hadn't relocated the ceremony. With their assurances that it was still going ahead at Willow Harbor, I set up the harp, and was ready to go long before the first guests arrived!
As the families were seated, I played "Canon in D" by Pachelbel, They didn't have a traditional wedding party ~ just two ring bearers and a flower girl. The kids entered to "Sheep May Safely Graze" by J.S. Bach. The bride arrived at the ceremony in Willow Harbor's vintage Rolls Royce, and her entrance music was "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" (another Bach piece).
The ceremony included a wine sharing ~ perfect for a vineyard wedding! ~ with Schubert's "Ave Maria" playing in the background. The recessional was "All You Need is Love" by The Beatles.
