One of the Most Inspiring Couples I've ever worked for



David & Susan had a Nov 21 wedding scheduled at the Lodge at Torrey Pines for about 6 months and just 3 weeks prior were both involved in a horrific car accident leaving David on crutches with a broken leg and Susan in a wheelchair with a broken pelvis. What is notable about these 2 amazing individuals is that Susan is an accomplished Triathlete and David has nearly finished his training to become a Navy Seal. He was scheduled to graduate the day before the wedding, but was delayed until after his recovery is complete. Obviously these are 2 life paths that demand endurance and determination and rather than postpone the wedding until it could be the picturesque event that everyone wanted for them, they kept to the plan. With the help of Liz Beck, the Wedding Coordinator, a few alterations and adjustments were incorporated to make the event memorable and entertaining for the family and guests in attendance. I acted as the DJ and Emcee and played a nice variety of dance music to fit the group including the Philadelphia tradition - Mummers Parade (see: red umbrellas in video clip) and Eve Seles came in to perform "Happy, Crappy, Sappy Love Songs" Here show is great, its all the great sing-a-long songs that you love to hate. Thank you to Videographer Joe Park for the video footage.
