When Reggie throws a party, expect the unexpected

Last night Kevin and I were guests at the wedding of Reggie Van Lee and Corie McCathern.  Kevin works with Reggie at Booz Allen.  The wedding was held at the National Building Museum, a spectacular space.  There were 700 plus guests at this event, which was also streamed live for those who could not attend.  There were people attending from around the globe...many from Italy, where Corrie is from.

Reggie does not disappoint when he throws a party, and his wedding was certainly no exception!!

The ceremony was first, which was very emotional and touching.  At the end of the ceremony confetti fell from the sky....lots of it!!  Imagine 700 people covered in confetti!!

As the crowd proceeded into the cocktail reception space, a curtain opened and a huge choir started singing from the balcony.


A delicious sit down dinner was served.  After dinner the entertainment began.

First a group of professional dancers performed.  Reggie was a professional dancer in his younger days, so this was not a total surprise.



After the dance performance, there was a huge surprise...Diana Ross, yes Diana appeared on stage and sang some of her classics.



The space was just beautiful...here is a spectator's view...after I had done plenty of dancing and needed to rest my sore ankle.



Here is a link to the photographers website which has some great photos.
