Luciano's Wedding Serenade
My daughter's wedding last summer was on Simpson Beach in Sint Maarten. (I posted a couple of pictures from this event previously in this thread.)
After the ceremony, the wedding party headed up the beach several hundred yards to Mary's Boon, where we had a post-wedding dinner. We had about one-half of the dining room reserved for our party.
As we were finishing our dinner, we heard a bit of commotion and then some music coming from across the dining room. There was Luciano giving an impromptu solo concert in the dining hall!!! (For those unfamiliar, Luciano is an immensely popular reggae artist in the Caribbean Islands. See
here and
here.)
Someone told him there was a wedding party going on in the other part of the room, and he sent his blessings to DD and SIL. We invited him over, and he serenaded them for about 15 minutes, singing wonderfully spiritual songs asking for God's blessings on them, their marriage, and their children.
Luciano had a concert coming up that Saturday night (twin bill with Sean Paul - the biggest concert to hit SXM in years), and he was staying at Mary's Boon while he was in Sint Maarten. He came down to the dining room just because he felt like sharing some music that night.
What a topper for an already special occasion!!!
