Sister's back from her honeymoon

My sister is back from her honeymoon, and she told us all the behind-the-scenes stuff that went on during her wedding.

1. I told you about her DJ who was a dud. She said that she had gotten him off of craigslist. He apparently tried to talk to the photographer and asked her questions about her contract. Little did he know that the photographer was my mother's coworker. He kept trying to put on a big show, and after her close friend gave the toast, he gave a toast of his own. Also, I forgot to mention, he played the dirty version of Enrique Iglesias's song "Tonight I'm Loving You"! There were kids there too! My sister said she didn't notice, but people asked her about it later. 

2. She also didn't notice the pastor saying "marriage is between a man and a woman" because she was nervous and wasn't listening to what he was saying. It's probably for the best, because she would have had a fit and would have had to postpone the wedding. But GET TO KNOW YOUR OFFICIANT AHEAD OF TIME!

3. She said that her vendors were all eating with the guests. I guess she really should have specified where they were supposed to eat, but dang. That's one thing that never occured to me.

4. Our aunt did the wedding video. You can hear the whole ceremony, but the camera was zoomed in on one of the groomsmen's eye and ear. During the reception, she got video of people who were annoyed that my aunt was bothering them with the video.

Re: Sister's back from her honeymoon

  • Clearly I missed your prior post, what's wrong with "marriage is between man and a woman"? If it was against what suited your sister, im super sure its probably a matter of habit.  I would imagine typically officiants are marrying straight couples more often than gay couples.  At least I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.  If they were purposefully being ignorant, well then she would have every right to have gotten upset and like you said, perhaps it was for the best she didn't notice.

    And WHOA about the DJ, how weird is that!

    BUT thanks especially for the tip about where to seat vendors for food.  I need to be sure I consider that :-)

  • They got married by a pastor to please the groom's mother.  They went over what was going to be in the ceremony, and they picked from a few different options of what he was going to say. As soon as we all got down the aisle, he started a sermon about his definition of marriage as between one man and one woman. 

    Whatever your beliefs, you should know what your officiant is going to say ahead of time. It seems silly to ask, "Are you planning to give any political commentary during my wedding?" but there it is.

  • Well that's super weird, and a little disrespectful.  It bugs me in church when they try to get you to sign petitions and crap its like, UM sorry I have my own opinions and think for myself, thanks.

    I'm glad your sister was too nervous to hear.  If my officiant said this during my ceremony, I would have stopped him and corrected him in front of everyone.  Talk about awkward! haha   I would have been LIVID.

    We found an officiant who sounds amazing and we were very clear and specific on our belief systems and values, but I still get a little nervous that he could go off on a tangent.
