Julie Amann And Chad JohnsonFor months leading up to their big day, Chad Johnson had begged his fianceé for a special cin-

ematic touch at the end of their ceremony. He wanted to recreate a scene from the film Love Actually when a full

brass band pops up from the crowd to play a happy rendition of “All You Need is Love” by The Beatles.

Throughout their wedding planning, Julie Amann refused Chad Johnson’s request thinking that it wouldn’t fit in with their

classic ceremony. But on the day of their wed-ding, a choir, a singer and a full band—includ-ing trumpets, trombones, guitar and flute—waited for the moment when the bride and groom turned to leave the church. Strains of “love, love, love” gave way to a verse from the happy Beatles tune that finished with a trumpet fanfare.

The look on Chad’s face was priceless as he hugged Julie in total shock; it was an incred-ible surprise gift from the new wife to her new husband that showed their creative person-alities and appreciation for one another. “I am generally a sporadic, energetic individual. Julie showed me that she understood by surprising me after over a year of secrecy,” says Chad who met his wife as an intern at Hope Presbyterian Church where they married.

“Our wedding was like I was meeting her for the first time again, reminding me that I was in love.”
