On May 20, 2011 Michael and Mary Pawlyk were married at Benvenutos Restaurant in Boynton Beach.  The ceremony took place in the beautiful outdoor courtyard.  Michael and Mary wanted me to pick the ceremony music so I went with traditional which was just perfect.  There was no cocktail hour so all of the guest went directly to the reception ball room for intros and dances.  Michael Mary and the entire bridal party entered to I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas.  Everyone was cheering for the new bride and groom.  The guests seemed very excited to see Michael and Mary enter a room for the first time as husband and wife.  Michael and Mary danced to Never Gonna Be Alone by Nickelback. That was the first time I ever played that song for the first dance.  Mary then danced with her brother David then Michael danced with his mother Doreen.  Michael and Mary did something very memorable by dancing with the kids.  Mary danced with her son Tristen to A Song For Mama by Boyz II Men and Michael danced with Mary's daughter Tyler (his new step-daughter) to There You'll Be by Faith Hill. The afternoon continued with toasts by the best-man Steve (Michael's  brother)and maid of honor Tara (Mary's best friend).  Steve's toast was funny and amusing while Tara's toast was more touching and sweet.  After salads and main course the dance floor opened up for some afternoon dancing. Michael and Mary again left it up to me for the music selection so I played crowd favorites and took some requests from friends and family.  I played top 40, disco, salsa, merengue and oldies to a wonderful pumped up crowd.  After the cake cutting Michael proceeded to remove the garter from Mary then they performed the garter and bouquet toss.  A few more dance songs proceeded then the last dance, (which was Last Dance by Donna Summer) was danced by all as Michael and Mary walked off into the sunset.  Very lovely wedding for a Friday afternoon at Benvenutos which I think was the perfect venue for Michael and Mary.  Also excellent job by the staff at Benvenutos once again!!! You guys are the best!!!!!
