Project Notes

#bemymanning
Couple & Party
Bride: Ariel Dews
Groom: Alec Manning
Been together 3 years, met on Tinder, living in Chicago at time of booking. Ariel is originally from Detroit area, Alec is from Chicagoland area. Met in Michigan, moved to Chicago for jobs. Traveling people. She is a PA.

 Party Details: _(Each side size, family details, etc.)_

"bigger wedding party". 8 on each side. Matron of honor is best friend, known each other since they were ten. Doing speech. Alec's best man gives is brother, giving speech. "not expecting much" - Alec; Party is mix of siblings and close (high-school) friends.
Alec's sister is officiant

Style Notes

 Music: Not huge country music fans.  No genres they other than country they don't like.  Both like John Mahr.  Alec "really listens to everything," classic jazz stuff, current things.  She listens to everything.
    More exciting/happy/celebration vibes.  Both "like to have a good time".
    Goofy/Silly.

** Wants to approve song. **

 Composition/Editing:  Likes it to "follow the timeline of the day".  All the "Highlight Moments".  Wants to see a lot fun at the reception.  Have a "rowdy" group of individuals.  

    Reaction to the live painting is going to be a big priority as well.     Good coverage of flower dog.
