Godwin / Skelton Reception


2-9-13. Tonight I made my way to Tuscaloosa for Cassie and Stephan's wedding reception at the Hotel Capstone. This wedding was booked in a whirl. After cassie and Stephan got engaged they found out she was pregnant. Therefore they moved the wedding up to tonight. They even did a big reveal of the baby's gender at the reception. Nobody, including Cassie and Stephan had any idea of what the baby was going to be... except me. They wanted it to be a surprise for everyone so the results were handed to me personally earlier in the evening. I needed to know because I had to program a cool lighting effect based around the gender of the baby. I also had to share my findings with Melissa at the hotel who was to fill a box with either blue or pink balloons, which the bride and groom would open together. It was a great effect for the reveal with a giant ??? box and lights flashing pink and blue. When the box was opened, pink balloons flew out, the lighting in the room turned pink and I played "Thank Heavens for Little Girls". Ha. Good times. The pic above is of me playing the Shoelywed Game with them. Thanks to Megan Forehand Photography for the Pic.
