Baptism Celebration at St. Marks Greek Orthodox Church Hall

Irina and Steve celebrated their son's baptism on 8/18/2012 at the St. Mark's Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton FL.  Vacilios who is only 6 months old got showered with gifts and well wishes from all 190 guests including his 2 older sisters and his new godparents Jenny and Pete.  The actual baptism took place in the church then everyone came into the hall for the food/party.  The guests were treated to an extensive buffet dinner while Vacilios took a well deserved nap.  Irina who is of Columbian descent and Steve who is of Greek descent explained to me that this was a dancing crowd and I needed to really mix up the music so everyone gets a chance to dance.  The salsa, merengue and top 40 music I have plenty of so Irina supplied me with a few cds with Greek music.  As the night progressed and everyone finished their meals, Irina would come over and tell me which songs to play on the cds.  It was pretty impressive to see all of the guests that knew how to dance Greek style make a big circle on the dance floor and do the traditional dances.  The usual group dance songs were requested like Cha Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle and the Wobble.  As the evening came to an end Irina requested the last song to be New York, New York by Frank Sinatra.  Yes, more than half of the guests were originally from The Big Apple (Queens).   Congrats to Vacilios and his entire family and close friends for a successful and fun baptism that his mom and dad did a great job of putting together. DJ Ray
