Foster Valle Wedding
Horns and guitars on deck.
First dance with bride and groom.
Father and bride dance.
Mother and groom dance.
The room was beautiful.
The bride and bridemaids were beautiful.
Even the guitar player was (errr) beautiful. :-)
The bride danced with all the fellows.
The groom danced with all of the ladies.
Bassman Paul and guitar-man Whitey started a sing-along.
The bride and her father joined in.
So did the groom.
So did the rest of the guests.
The RC Horns mixed it up ...
... and the guests responded.
They tango'ed.
The clapped their hands.
They even did the hootchie coo!
