FINALLY --- BUNJI & FAY ANN WEDS
It was billed as the most anticipated wedding
of the year and now maybe listed as the like event of the decade.
The wedding ceremony of Ian Alvarez aka “Bunji Garlin” and Fay Ann
Lyons, two mega Soca Stars, took place at the Holiness Revival
Ministries Church in Port of Spain on December 23rd 2k6.
Though beginning a bit late,
guests were never daunted since excitement was abuzz throughout.
Those belonging to the “paparazzi” were in full flight with
photographers literally climbing upon other photographers just to
get their photos.
Before
the ceremony the official and lead photographers were identified the
lineup, however, the secondary and non-invited were most prominent.
Nevertheless, the ceremony went ahead with father of the bride,
Austin Lyons (Superblue aka Blue-Boy) escorting his daughter to the
alter. The officiating minister conducted a straightforward
ceremony to the delight of the 26 member bridal party who remained
standing throughout, and all those who attended.
Upon leaving the church, the
couple made their way along a prepared Red Carpet towards their
waiting limousine.
At the reception which was held
at the Centre of Excellence in Macoya, the father of the groom stole
the show with a very humorous speech, enjoyed by all. This prompted
Master of Ceremony Jason Williams to jokingly acknowledge that “he
now understands where ‘Bunji’got his lyrical ability”. Maximus Dan
also spoke, Fay Ann’s grand mother sang and Dane Gulston rendered an
instrumental selection on the Steel Pan.
Most
of the guests we spoke with said that the really enjoyed the evening
and was confident that the couple will ride through any rough times
ahead. The catering was complimented by many including Iwer George
and new rising soca star Fireball who hinted to pointalive.com that
he was going for seconds.
After the dining segment,
tables and chairs were removed to make way for dancing.
Fay Ann received praises from
the Master of Ceremony and her husband for her role in setting the
interior design for the reception venue.
Shurwayne
Winchester, Nicky Crosby, Destra Garcia, Lisa Wickham and Singing
Sandra were just a few of the notable attendees for the event.
Pointalive.com congratulates
the couple on their achievements thus far and wishes them continued
success in their life ahead.
We are pleased to share with
