![Four musicians sitting around a round wooden table with different instruments lying around with cases. There is a guitar player, a bones player, a button accordeon player and a pianist in front of an electric piano set up on the table. There is a brick wall behind and three of the musicians are sitting on an old, dark, wooden settle.](https://www.elliekennard.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/band-wedding-6.jpg)
Our wedding was informal as you can see here. It’s probably not usual for the groom to play in the band at his own wedding, but for us it seemed perfectly natural as music brought us together, in sessions like this one. Not a great photo but good times.
Musicians were – Steven, melodeons; Mike, keyboards and vocals; Garry, bones and bodhran and Don guitar and vocals. Sadly, both Mike and Don have died, but we have our memories of happy times together. If you don’t know Don’s music, (or if you do) you can hear a track “The Sun and the Moon” here.
@elliekenn that's really cool — playing at your own wedding!
@trendless
That is cool, or at least unusual…
Only 2 of them left, now.
@elliekenn
Such a lovely memory Ellie. Thanks.
We do have some great memories of that time, Gary. I’m glad you were part of it, too. xo
It’a ‘not usual’ for narriages to survive these days. So, if ‘not usual” works, I’m all for it.
I guess that’s true. So I recommend the unusual!
