David and Stacy had been at Oak Island with most of their wedding party for nearly a week when I arrived on Friday night to go through their last minute details. With everyone in full “vacation mode” it was no surprise this rehearsal went so smoothly. Taking time to unwind in the days leading up to the big day is something few girls do, but it truly makes for a happier bride, better photos and a more enjoyable wedding experience.
In keeping with the chill vibe of this wedding, Stacy recruited Kent Knorr of the North Carolina Ukulele Academy to bring a bit of Hawaii to the East Coast. Cradling the tiny instrument against his 6ft+ frame he strummed each note in perfect pitch with just enough power to temper the breaking waves. Versed in a wide range of genres from island and rock to jazz and classical it is simply amazing to see what this man can do with just four strings and two octaves! It is certainly worth a trip to Aloha-U to check him out.
