Four Strings provided a string trio for the wedding of Megan Henson and Benny Christiansen, held outdoors on 16 June 2012 at the bride’s parents’ home on Lake Texoma. The bride and groom had been previously married in a civil ceremony in Denmark, but made the journey back to North Texas, along with the groom’s extended family and many Danish friends, for a ceremony on this side of the ocean.
The prelude and ceremony music included and unusual mix of rock, film, and classical music. The trio stayed after the wedding to provide additional music for the cocktail hour.
