The back entrance of the Banjo Rehabilitation Center overlooks Little Hulen Lake, and this pastoral scene was the sunny October setting of a recent marriage ceremony of two beloved workshop staff members. The BRC founder was the wedding singer (see photo) who led the congregation in such nuptial sing-a-longs as “Love Me Tender” and “Going to the Chapel/And We`re Gonna Get Married.”
Immediately upon exchange of the vows, an aerial gaggle of Canada geese swarmed over the wedding party. The honking birds raised such a cacophony, that the minister`s closing homily was almost lost to posterity beneath the winged armada (see and hear video). A dove fly-over would have been more suitable but difficult to choreograph compared to Mother Nature`s hand.
(Skip to the 1:25 mark for the geese landing to begin.)
Their BRC co-workers congratulate the young newlyweds and wish them every happiness.
P.S. Attention banjo buyers: Check-out the BRC banjo now available on eBay November 10-17 (sold). The new owner responded feedback, “Nicely packed & beautiful banjo. Very happy!”
