I just received the Winter issue of the SCSU Outlook Magazine and was thrilled to see the feature articles about Dan and Mark Barth as well as Paul “Stretch Rocker” Diethelm. My husband and I have a unique connection to these three amazing men — our wedding.
My husband and I wanted to have a creative wedding, something that reflected our personalities. I had hired DMR to produce a video for my employer and during the production process got to know Dan and Mark, and the Pioneer Place on Fifth Theatre. I married my husband in 2002 on stage at the Pioneer Place on Fifth. Dan and Mark were wonderful to work with and made our wedding something special. Mark even helped paint our “set” that we shared with the production of “Dog’s Hamlet, Cahoot’s Macbeth,” the theatre production going on the following weekend.
Our reception was held at the now-defunct Cedar Point Ballroom in Saint Augusta and featured a live band, Slip Twister (Paul Diethelm, Jay O’Donnell, and Mike Zeleny). We were zealous followers of Slip Twister in the mid-late 1990s and were friends with the band. Before we knew anything else about our pending nuptials, including the date, we knew we wanted Slip Twister to play.
Thank you for the great feature articles in the winter Outlook Magazine. They brought back some really great memories!
