MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Jon Bon Jovi was a little reluctant to sing along with a wedding band's version of one of his biggest hits.
Videos show the rocker sheepishly taking the microphone from singer Lourdes Valentin who launched into Bon Jovi's 1986 classic, "Livin' on a Prayer."
Bon Jovi opted for a smoother delivery of the song to match the jazz quintet. A trumpet player added a solo to fill in for the song's missing electric guitar riff.
Bon Jovi appears to have been a guest at the reception.
Valentin writes in a note accompanying a video of the performance on YouTube that she prepared the song ahead of the wedding specifically for Bon Jovi. She says, "It was a thrill to sing with such an amazing artist."
