Taking Back Sunday Crash Wedding of Two Fans, Perform Love Songs

Taking Back Sunday are full of surprises. After taking part in a yard efficiency earlier this 12 months, the band turned up on the marriage ceremony of two of their followers, stunning the comfortable couple on the marriage day by taking part in a pair of love songs.

The particular “wedding crashing” took place after the bride, Sammi, initially reached out to the group upon listening to that their new album, 152, could be launched on Oct. 27, the identical day as their marriage ceremony. She reached out on social media explaining her state of affairs and the way it appeared like every thing aligning for her and her quickly to be husband with their favourite band releasing an album that day.

While the band supplied a cordial “Congrats,” behind the scenes they had been touched by the message and set about doing one thing particular for the couple.

“When we announced the release date of our new album 152, we received a very nice message on social media from the bride Sammi. She told us that she and her fiancé Adam were long time fans of our band and that their wedding was planned on the same day as our record release and how happy that made her. As luck would have it, we had planned tour rehearsals at a spot only two hours away from their wedding the very same week as the release and the wedding,” the band acknowledged.

“Through some careful, secretive planning with our manager Jillian and the maid of honor Amanda we crashed the wedding. We arrived under the cover of night during speeches from the bride and groom’s friends and family and were whisked away into a room anxiously awaiting our introduction,” they continued.

“We entered the beautiful reception room to loud cheers and could feel the love! We greeted Adam and Sammi with flowers, warm hugs, and a copy of our new album. Adam, John, and Nathan performed ‘I Am the Only One Who Knows You,’ and ‘The One,’ our two most complete love songs. The bride and groom sang and danced along. We took photos and said our goodbyes. It was truly a beautiful night and we’re grateful we got to play a small part in it. We wish Sammi and Adam a long, happy, healthy life together filled with love and laughter. Thank you for having us!!!”

The band traveled to Trout Lake in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania for the marriage. As proven within the video under, singer Adam Lazzara admitted a bit of nerves taking part within the special occasion. “We picked two that are actual real love songs that we have,” mentioned Lazzara. “I can’t even believe it when I’m thinking about it so that’s so out of the ordinary for us,” revealed the singer. “I didn’t realize how nervous I would be. Like I was fine when we were coming here, but when we got in this room I was like, ‘Oh god, they’re getting married tonight. What if we’re ruining their wedding.”

For the ceremony, the band offered the couple with an autographed photograph, after which carried out the songs “The One” and “I Am the Only One Who Knows You.”

“This is the best present in the world and I’m not even sure it was real,” mentioned Sammi. Her husband Adam added, “I’ve been a fan since we were probably 13 years old and to have them here tonight was like the most magical thing, the most unreal thing ever.”

Sammi later commented, “I knew my cousin and maid of honor, Amanda, had a surprise for me. Right before, my matron of honor, Shelby, tells me three of the groomsmen would be singing us a song. So, Amanda gets to the mic and announces the band Taking Back Sunday. Adam and I look at each other and say, ‘Yeah, right’ but then TBS actually walks in! And obviously, our reactions say it all. We were in shock and disbelief; we just couldn’t believe they were actually here at our wedding singing two songs off their new album. They were amazing, as always, and so so nice. Adam even gave us some relationship advice! It was the perfect surprise to an already perfect day. They gave us flowers and their new record with a special message to us. It’s just so unbelievable and I believe Adam described it perfectly when he yelled, ‘What is my life right now?!’ Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who had a hand in this, you truly made our wedding unforgettable.”
