the wedding

So last Saturday I DJed for my friend's wedding. Apparently, I had no idea what I was getting into. It was partially my fault, but some of my friend's as well. I didn't realize that DJs did a little bit more than just play music and do lighting at a wedding. The announcements and dances were a little rocky, only because the plans continuously changed and I still wasn't sure about them.

Apart from the little kinks, the reception went well. I didn't get to go to the wedding itself, since I still had to go purchase lights, get the sound equipment, etc, but I can tell they're going to have a great marriage. I actually had fun too, once the party got started. It was difficult at times, dealing with inebriated requests for songs that I didn't have (but then I realized they'd forget if I played their request or not). So overall the night was a success. It really wore me out since I was there in the morning setting up, and till about 1am helping clean everything out, but I'm used to being the first one and last one at events, so it was no big deal. It at least gave me something to do during the weekend, just two left and I'm gone!

I'm glad it went well and you got through it just fine. I think you must have done okay, never doing it before, only have a few little kinks!
