Rich and Melissa Galinat had an incredible reception— Pete and I had a blast and we were honored to be part of their amazing reception!

Both their families are huge Steelers fans, so we had some fun sneaking a few fight songs in between things. Rich’s grandfather caught on quick, as he’s a big sports buff.. and he danced– even after Rich gave me a challenge and said he wouldn’t dance. I enjoyed talking to him and his wife (Rich’s grandmother, of course)….. they shared that they used to love dancing and have shared 62 years of marriage together. WOW! Can you believe that????

Once we opened up the dance floor, the kids had a blast dancing with the adults. Rich and Melissa stayed on the floor the entire time. They were so energetic, I was worn out watching them! I got to play a little bit of everything– from rock to country to rap!

I’ve attached some photos below as well as a great video!

Highlights:

• Taps was played for Steve, the guy who caught the garter as we gave a “moment of silence” to his bachelorhood!
• Rich did the moonwalk to Billie Jean!
• Pete and I were invited to enjoy dinner with the family. The Lakeland Hilton Garden Inn is AMAZING and their food is spectacular!
• 90s Alternative, Motown, 60s, and 70s & 80s rock were all played during dinner!

Lynn and Sherman (Banquet Mgr) as well as the cook migrated from the Imperial Swan. The Swan’s loss was the Hilton’s gain— they are an amazing team!
