Over the weekend, my great friend Chris married his lady Brie.  Leading up to the big day, the other groomsmen, Brie and I teamed up to bring long-time Phillies and Eagles PA announcer Dan Baker aboard the wedding train to announce the parents and full bridal party at the reception as a surprise for the groom. Below is a video clip of the look on Chris's face when the man in charge of entertainment for the evening, Darnell Smith of the Sixers, disclosed details about the special guest announcer to everyone in attendance, including Chris.  It's a cool moment.  There's also a clip of Baker's actual introduction of the lovely couple.  Check them out.
