  • Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain: I think that a florist not showing up is worse.  The dumb DJ is obnoxious, but I don't think I would let it bother me too much.  Besides, FI's best man would probably go over and tell the DJ to can it if he can't remember our names.

    What's your favorite thing about weddings? I always cry at the ceremony.  I love watching the couple get married.

    What are you doing for 4th of July? I have to go into work (there's a wedding at the church) for two hours, and then FI and I are going to see the fireworks.

  • Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain:
    The DJ. I don't find flowers all that important at weddings, but to constantly hear the wrong name would really bother me both as a guest or the bride.

    What's your favorite thing about weddings?
    Seeing the B&G get married, so I guess the actual ceremony. It always makes me a little teary.
    What are you doing for 4th of July?
    Gong to a friend's party in the afternoon then watching the fireworks around town at our dock. I love the dock during the 4th, it's so pretty.
  • Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain: A florist not showing up. At lease you can laugh at a DJ messing up because he's there, but with a no-show florist you're missing part of the "window dressing" on the ceremony and reception.

    What's your favorite thing about weddings? Seeing the bride in her dress coming down the aisle. We all obsess just a little about our dresses and I like to see each bride's unique style choices.

    What are you doing for 4th of July? Not much. H was in a car accident last Friday, so his back is pretty sore. We'll try to find some fireworks around town, but he can't walk too far or stand too long without being in pain, so we shall see.

  • Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain: DJ messing up. As a guest I don't really notice the flowers as much as I would notice that! It would bug me.

    What's your favorite thing about weddings? When the bride comes down the aisle - I love watching the groom's face and I always get teary.

    What are you doing for 4th of July? Heading to Fi's hometown to hang out with friends and go on a booze cruise! haha

  • Which is worse: DJ/names or florist/no show?  Florist no show. I'm big on flowers so this is a nightmare for me. Yes you could probably improvise with some flowers around the hotel or some from a quick walmart trip but it isn't the same. Also, the thought that this florist took your money and ran is a biggie! The DJ would still be playing music he just wouldn't have your names right. I see that as something you could look back on and laugh at later.

    Favorite thing about weddings? Seeing the wedding dress, dancing, food, free bar, friends.

    July 4th? My family is having a BBQ to celebrate the 4th and my bday. We are eating, drinking, and swimming.

    Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain:
    Florist not showing up.  You can always look back and laugh about the stupid DJ but I highly doubt any bride would ever laugh about the florist not showing up.

    What's your favorite thing about weddings?
    Open bar.

    What are you doing for 4th of July?
    No plans as of yet.  DH and I are thinking of staying in bed for as long as possible.

  • Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain:Florist not showing up.  At least the DJ is there.  I know in my family that no one would be shy to go up to the DJ and correct him.

    What's your favorite thing about weddings?I love the first look at the bride.  I always get teary eyed, even if I don't know the bride.  As for the reception, cake. :)

    What are you doing for 4th of July?No plans really.  FI is having his bachelor party tomorrow so I'm assuming he will be recovering on the 4th.  I will probably be busy trying to finish up wedding stuff.

  • Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain:  As a bride, probably the florist not showing up.  (Good thing I didn't use a florist!)  As a guest, the annoying DJ.

    What's your favorite thing about weddings?  Seeing all the personal touches the couple includes

    What are you doing for 4th of July?  As of right now, nothing.  We'll probably try to find a non-crowded place to watch fireworks; we watched a few shows from the top of the Disneyland parking structure last year, but even that was crowded.  We might just see what we can see from our apartment.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain: DJ, by process of elimination b/c I don't care about flowers.

    What's your favorite thing about weddings? seeing the bride walk down the aisle.  and CAKE!

    What are you doing for 4th of July? One of FI's GM was going to host a bbq, but his FI is going to have him OOT interviewing caterers on Sat, so he's not sure now.  When he proposed 2 weeks ago he didn't realize he'd be expected to help plan.  silly boy.

    <div>That made me giggle...I'm actually watching 27 Dresses and it's at that part as I'm typing this :)</div>
  • Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain: Florist. After the DJ messed up our names once, I'd tell him he was no longer allowed to talk, only play music, and take away his microphone.

    What's your favorite thing about weddings? The party! I've so far only been to weddings where I know a lot of other guests, and it's so fun to celebrate with the couple and our friends/families.

    What are you doing for 4th of July? Not a holiday here, so nothing special.
  • Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain: While I don't really think I'd stress about either too much, I'd probably be more annoyed with the florist not showing...I'd like to at least have bouquets...I've spent my whole life having my name both misspelled and mispronounced, so I got over that...
    What's your favorite thing about weddings? seeing the happy couple get their happily ever after...
    What are you doing for 4th of July? My mommy's coming up from SC and we're going to the park :)
  • Which is worse: a DJ that keeps messing up the names of the couple or a florist who doesn't show up? Explain:
    Florist not showing up. After picking out the things and paying a lot of money for them to be right, I'd be pretty pissed to not have them show up. I'd be camped out in front of their shop the next time they come into work.
    My name gets mispronounced all the time anyways, I'd just let him know how it's pronounced.

    What's your favorite thing about weddings?
    When something unexpected or funny happens. Whether it's a funny vow, or one of them laughing when they goof up a line, just the happiness. After all the stress stuff, it's nice to have the lightheartedness.
    Also when they have really great food.

    What are you doing for 4th of July?
    First work, then hopefully going to see a fireworks show. It'll be a good excuse to eat a hot dog.
    Plus I love fireworks.
    Then work the next morning. Dang... I think I drew the short straw on this weekend.
    Night swimming in the ocean= pretty sweet reception!
