Another incredible wedding at the Addison in Boca!!  Paul and Christa Rainone were married on 4/2/2011 and what a wedding it was.  It began with the ceremony inside of the Addison in the foyer.  150 guests witnessed a special ceremony where the music was provided by a harpist. Paul's daughter Rylee who is about three years old was part of the ceremony also.  As Paul and Christa exchanged rings, Rylee was given a necklace as part of the vows.  It was a very emotional moment.  After the ceremony everyone enjoyed a cocktail hour outside in the courtyard.  Paul chose a mix of easy listening, reggae and oldies for his guest to listen to during that time.  After the cocktail hour it was time to party.  All the guests sat at their assigned tables and I lined the bridal party up for a pumped up intro.  The bridal party consisted of 24 people including bride and groom.  Paul and Christa chose I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas as the entrance song for the entire bridal party including themselves.  Paul asked me to introduce himself, Christa and Rylee together as one complete family.  That was the first time a groom or bride asked for a request like that and it turned out perfect!!  All three of them walked out together to the center of the dance floor and it was magical. Paul and Christa danced to Then by Brad Paisley. After the first dance Christa danced with her dad to My Baby You by Marc Anthony and with her step-dad to I Hope You Dance by LeeAnn Womack. It was then Paul's turn to dance with his mom to My Wish by Rascal Flatts.  Paul also requested that the dance floor open during salads. I played a mix of oldies, 80's and top 40 for the guests who couldn't wait to dance.  After the main course the dancing continued.  Christa is originally from Miami so she requested some booty music for her and her girls to get down to. They all new the words to an oldie called Cars That Go Boom. We then did the anniversary dance before cutting the cake. The last couple standing was Paul's grandparents who have been married for 60+ years.  Toward the end of the night with about 1/2 hour left all of the guests went out to the courtyard and gave the bride and groom a memorable send off.  They all lit up sparklers and Paul and Christa rode off into the sunset in a 1954 white Rolls Royce. This was a wedding I will always remember.  Special thanks to the staff at the Addison for their professionalism and kindness.  They really know how the make the guests feel comfortable.  Best of luck to Paul, Christa and Rylee Rainone!!!!
