AW: Band of Horses

This is pure AW - but I thought it was a good story. My co-worker was best man at a wedding this weekend, and Band of Horses played during the ceremony!

It's so weird how it ended up happening. The groom was going to propose to his GF in Venice, but the day of their flight, the volcanic cloud put an end to air traffic, so their trip got cancelled. Since they couldn't get our of Oslo, they went to see a gig with Band of Horses. He proposed during the concert.

They go ahead and plan the wedding in Tromsø, the bride's hometown, and find out that Band of Horses are playing at a music festival the same day as their wedding. So they figured, why not ask?

Well, late on Friday night, the band confirmed - they landed in Tromsø at 11.30, and played at their ceremony at 1 pm!  I think it was so nice, and the band didn't even charge a fee.

(side note: How awkward, my co-worker looks like he is asleep in the picture they chose to publish in the national newspaper.)

  • I don't know who that band is, but that's really sweet of them!

  • My sister is good friend with one of the band members in Band of Horses and I really wanted to see if they would play at ours, but I found out from her that they were going to be on their world tour, so no dice. That's really awesome that they got to have the same band for their engagement and wedding.
