We played for Lizzie and Michael’s beautiful twinkly wedding at Alverstoke Barn in Southwest, WA.
“… Thank you for the wonderful music and energy you provided at our wedding last weekend. You were the perfect fit for us! It was so generous of you to collaborate with Joe and to be so accommodating to make the day so special. What a day it was!” – Lizzie + Michael
That day Polkadot + Moonbeam learnt all about ‘twinkliness’…
We love them and these precious moments so much, we won’t say more than leaving enough of a mark for us to remember this by. Playing for Uncle Joe for their ceremony tune was so wonderful because it was so real. And so full of heart. I love family participations. Our own wedding in 2013 was all about that. The poems during the ceremony brought me to tears and I really had to tear my eyes from all that beauty to concentrate on our parts. But for those reasons I can hardly imagine how we could possibly forget these 2.
After our acoustic sets for their pre-dinner drinks, we decided to sit back at the quiet part of the barn where the horse stables were. A pair of horses were grazing. Flocks of pelicans doing their dusk thing. And the sky was an amazing pale fushcia orange and lilac. We decided to pull out our ukuleles and started playing a tune we love. Just the quiet tinkles of the ukuleles, no words required. And out came this little video: ‘Smile’ by Charles Chaplin.

Blessings and love to Lizzie and Michael, twinkle on. ✨
