Not only did guests enjoy visual and tasty indulgences, but also live entertainment.  The father of the bride is himself a musician in a local jazz band.  One of his friends also has a band which came for all to enjoy.  The Dave Murphy band included two singers and the repertoire included everything from old popular dance songs to current popular tunes.  I was most impressed with the love the couple portrayed in their first dance.  The groom had so many tender sweet kisses for his new bride that all who viewed had no doubt that he was truly in love with his Queen.
