See the sweet moment Taking Back Sunday crashed their fans’ wedding
“We were in shock and disbelief!”: Watch longtime Taking Back Sunday fans Sammi and Adam get a beautiful surprise performance on their wedding day…
As well as releasing one of the best albums of their career last Friday, Taking Back Sunday spread the love and spent the evening crashing the wedding of two of their longtime fans, Sammi and Adam Seman.
The Long Island faves turned up at Trout Lake in Stroudsburg – coincidentally just a couple of hours away from where they were rehearsing for tour – on October 27, thanks to some top coordinating with the maid of honour, Amanda Lipowski.
“I knew my cousin and maid of honor, Amanda, had a surprise for me,” explains Sammi. “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.”
“We entered the beautiful reception room to loud cheers and could feel the love!” reflect TBS of their experience. “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!!!”
