They were one of those couples that I had only spoke to over the phone and met, literally, just moments before the grand entrance. At that moment, Heidi asked, "what song are you playing for our entrance." I explained that I didn't have anything specific, just a nice upbeat instrumental.
When I asked if she wanted something specific, she said, "anything Stevie Wonder." So I cued up Superstition -- which I have always felt is the song perfect for walking and strutting. The kind of song that would be blaring from a ghetto blaster, thrown over someone's shoulder in 1979.
Needless to say, the wedding party rocked the intro. What did I play after that? Check out the setlist below.
