A friend of ours got married the other day. We played at the ceremony and participated at the reception in a more MC Hammer kind of way (pants stuck into the socks routine etc.) Here is a view from the string quartet position.
I had to arrange a piece for walking down the isle, which was supposed to start like the mendelssohn wedding march but then segue's into the rocky theme tune 'eye of the tiger'. it looked good on paper, sounded good in my head, but a last minute change of mind by the bride meant that there was a slight 'issue' about where to start so as a result the first 30 seconds sounded pretty crap and my arranging days looked as if they were rapidly coming to a gloomy end, but luckily the sight reading fiddlers got it together and pulled it off.
