Cory's favorite band has always been The Beatles, and he was an Anglophile long before he met his bride-to-be. When they locked eyes in a Columbus, Ohio bar, she was in the audience and he was playing guitar in his band, Alert New London. He couldn’t know at that moment that the cute girl he was hoping to talk to after the show was English by birth, and from a family of Beatles lovers. (Back in the early aughts, when Amy got her first iPod for Christmas, her parents chose custom engraving on the back that read “All you need is love.”) Amy and Cory chose “In My Life” for their recessional, and Amy and her dad danced to “Imagine.” And, of course, Amy walked up the aisle to “All You Need Is Love.”
