Angie & Gian's Wedding - Part 2
Pool Deck Decorating for 5/1/25 tying the knot ceremony with the Captain and entire ship invited:
The crowds of residents ready to watch it all unfold:
The professional dancers, we have on board ,kicked off the ceramony, with a dance to "Great balls of fire"
The ceremony by the Captain - tying the knot!
I was part of a flash mob with eleven other friends and residents. We had secret practices for weeks leading up to the wedding.
After the flash mob dance finished a Congo line formed with the bride and groom leading all the way up to the pool.
To take the plunge! The Captain and other residents joined in.
I am waiting by the side with towels for the bride and groom.
We partied till 130 a.m. SO MUCH FUN!!
On April 30th, Angie and Gian , a shipboard sweet couple that meet during the dry dock delays in Belfast , seven months ago, got married with just 28 close family and friends, at sunset in the Observatory Lounge. They then did another " Tying the knot ceremony" for the entire ship on May 1st on the pool deck, officiated by Captain Val . After each service was a special dinner one in the Thistle Dining room and the other at the Outdoor deck of Palms Restaurant. The above video done by VVR Marketing shows the highlights. I ended up being the Wedding Resident Coordinator for the couple and I have a ton of the behind the scene photos of how it all came about. It was a lot of work, but I got to interact with so many great people and really enjoyed the challenge, logistics and organization of the whole thing! It brought so many residents together, in a common bond, it was really something special to have played such a major role.
