We love all of our couples, but we especially love when our couples are also some of our co-workers! As many of you know, DJ Sticky Boots has a mix show on 92.9 U93 Radio Friday and Saturday nights, and this past weekend’s couple was none-other than Irish Dave and Christine from the U93 morning show!
Anyone who listens to the morning show knows that Christine and Dave like to have fun with listeners but most of all, they like to have fun with each other. Fun people equal fun times.
Christine and Dave chose a large tent at Four Winds Field for their reception location. A tad bit of a risky move for mid-October, but Dave is always up for a challenge ... remember, he packed up a successful career and moved to the United States because he wanted to do American radio! (psst - we’re glad that he did because Dave has become a great friend on and off air!) The venue could not have been a better choice! The weather was beautiful and allowed guests to have an awesome view of the South Bend Cubs field while enjoying drinks and appetizers outside the tent. We think we may have even spotted more than a few local celebrities in the TV and radio world.
Christine and Dave used Nelson's to cater their wedding reception. Dave is a huge fan of all things Nelson's (and really, who isn't, but that's a given when you grow up in the Elkhart County area), and they did not disappoint with a tasty buffet that all the guests raved about.
Working in radio, and being avid fans of music, Christine and Dave wanted their wedding reception to be a huge dance party (maybe even one that rivals the Friday Dance Party!) so they asked Sticky Boots to be their DJ. He provided a powerful sound system including digital turntables and some incredible lighting effects that we just fell in love with in this tent! In addition to the Platinum wedding package, we bathed the tent in color with our Splash uplighting and even added our “Dancing Under the Stars” night-sky effect later in the evening to enhance the look.
One of the best things about Christine and Dave's wedding was the love and laughter shared all night between friends and family. Dave's mom has a laugh that fills a room with love, and his two brothers were hilarious with their well-planned toast and speech which thoroughly roasted Dave from his younger years in Ireland and even included props! Later guests danced all night long to some of Christine's favorite songs - mostly early 00s throwbacks. Because Dave had family in from Ireland, and well he's Irish himself, Sticky Boots added in a mix of Irish dances and artists. It was a great blend of music from around the world, and the American guests had a blast getting involved with some of the traditional Irish dances.
We couldn't be happier to see two great friends get married and party all night long - and we're sure U93 listeners are going to get to hear about it for a long time to come!
