Well it was some improvement.
I'm firmly convinced that we set ourselves too high standards. For me, last night's wedding was acceptable. Once I'd been granted access. Hotels, communication, and forward planning don't seem to go together. My Boss, Mr Jackson, was told evening only, on more than one occasion. I turn up my customary two and a half hours early to find the reception in full swing to be informed " we thought you'd have set up early". :bang:
Not an insurmountable problem, and I was fully ready fifteen minutes before kick off. Guests were let back in twenty five minutes before, but that's life. Well, this lot set off at a gallop, I played tracks from recent(ish) now albums and we were away, quite a few parents dancing with their young offspring. We had the First ddance/father-Daughter, and StepFather- Daughter dances, before the cake cut, and as you'd guess they burnt themselves out. I never had an empty floor, and at times it was very busy. My, but I played some varied genres, and most of it passably mainstream.
Highlight ( not ) of the evening was the inebriated bridesmaid who had lost the power of comprehension, and most of her balance sensors, who nearly moved the booth into the bar next door when she fell into it from my side, while trying for a request! :mad:
We limped along for the last hour, and all in all, a good night was had by all. Next week, the seaside again, with Karaoke. It just gets better and better, though to be fair, I may have a roadie for this, fingers crossed.
