Of all the bilingual San Diego wedding DJs roaming the 619, Daniela & Brian chose me to DJ and MC their intercultural “Game of Thrones” wedding at Mt. Woodson Castle in Ramona on Thursday, May 25, 2017.
THE LOVE STORY
Daniela & Brian’s relationship began in April 2012, when he messaged her, and she thought he was hilarious. They texted back and forth for weeks before finally meeting. They found they had a lot in common, but the craziest part was that they had grown up just a few blocks away from each other. Together Daniela & Brian enjoy being parents to their Great Dane, Hodor, going to the dog beach, lounging around and watching “Game of Thrones,” taking long drives, exploring new places, and calling each other “PooPoo.” But, unfortunately, these two love birds could not remember the first time they said they loved each other 🙁
On December 19, 2015, Daniela was throwing Brian a 30th birthday party with all their friends. Brian had been dropping some weird hints all day that made Daniela feel like he was going to propose. She didn’t want to be disappointed so she kept an open mind…BUT then around 10 pm that night, Brian gathered everyone into the living room and asked for a pillow. He put the pillow on the floor, plopped down on one knee, and popped the question!!!!
THE GAME OF THRONES WEDDING CEREMONY
Daniela & Brian’s ceremony took place inside the castle. As the guests were being seated, I played selections from the Vitamin String Quartet. As the wedding party entered, I played Costantino Carrara’s cover of Coldplay’s “Magic.” For Daniela’s entrance, I played Costantino Carrara’s cover of John Legend’s “All of Me.” After Daniela & Brian chuckled through their ceremony and finally kissed, I played Capital Cities’ “Safe & Sound” as they exited.
THIS GAME OF THRONES WEDDING RECEPTION
The dinner took place on Mt. Woodson Castle’s lower lawn. After the Grand Entrance (to the “Game of Thrones” theme, of course), the First Dance, and a 3-way Combo Parent Dance, we all enjoyed some delicious morsels then heard EIGHT (yes, 8) toasts 🙂 The bride and groom then invited everyone to join them back up in the castle for cake cutting and dancing.
THE PLAYLIST
For the cocktail hour and dinner at this “Game of Thrones” wedding, the bride and groom requested a variety of soft indie jams with a few country, oldies, and Spanish tunes thrown in the mix.
Again, I was honored to be the one and only bilingual San Diego wedding DJ that Daniela and Brian trusted with their big day. Thank you! See more at #TheGaspardos.
