Honeymoon Adventure: Walk Across America

Looking for a unique honeymoon adventure? Why not walk across America?

A video of a man footing it coast to coast from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge was this weekend’s viral sensation. It racked up over a half-a-million views since its debut less than a week ago.

The video is popular not just because it’s a jaunt past American landmarks, but because of a unique visual effect created by a combination of stop-motion and time-lapse video. The finished project consists of 2,770 still frames shot over 14 days. The filmmakers actually traveled cross-country in an RV, “living on the Gatorade diet” and stopping at scenic places along the way to do their shoots.

Welcome to the D

Everyone who knows me knows I am a huge Detroit fan (2 shouts out to D Town!). When I heard about this Detroit themed wedding, I knew I had to share it with all you Detroit Area brides.



To start the wedding weekend, out-of-town guest were greeted with welcome bags saying, "Welcome to the D." The bags were stuffed with local goodies like Better Made chips, Faygo, and local sports teams' memorabilia.

The theme continued at the reception with table names such as Belle Isle, Cobo Hall, Joe Louis Arena, The Whitney, Renaissance Center, Detroit Opera House, and more.

If that wasn't Detroit enough for you, Paws from the Detroit Tigers made a surprise entrance to none other than "Eye of Tiger." – great choice from MSP DJ, Kevin Joint. Paws was even kind enough to pop in the Shutterbooth for 15 minutes with people.

A Party Fit for the Red Wings

Check out this email I got from one of our DJs about a recent wedding he worked for Red Wings defenseman Doug Janik.


"Great crowd, lots of oldies, Motown and 80's music. At 1am, I thanked the guests and turned the music off. The guests went crazy and were chanting "One More Song" over and over. It was loud! I tried to explain that the hall said we were done at 1am and I couldn’t play anymore, but the crowd just got louder. Finally a hall representative came over to me and suggested I keep playing. We finally shut the music down around 1:30 and everyone was happy. Great ending to a great night."
