I went to a wedding this past weekend. My friend's son was getting married without a lot of money so she asked me if I'd shoot the video.  That's something I can do if they aren't looking for a Spielberg or Scorsese type production. The DJ they hired was on the low end of things, too (not that great).  When the people getting married don't have to pay for these things, it's really not that big a deal. It's not the point, anyway.

A lot of the people in the crowd seemed to lose their mind when the DJ played one particular song ... Wobble Baby.  I had only heard the song once before and that was about a year ago. It turns out this song came out in 2008!  Needless to say, I'm way behind the times.

What's something you picked up at a wedding that you thought was interesting?

I attended one where the wedding planner was trying to micro-manage everything at the reception.  She had a seating chart.  Really.  She had dictated the playlist to the DJ, and the music royally sucked.  When she tried to get everyone up to do the Makarena, the groom took her aside and scolded her.  Then he told the DJ to play good dance music, and finally everybody started having a great time.

This was also the first wedding I've ever been to where the groom marched in, too. Have you ever seen that?

I recently did the photography for a friends wedding, all went well but at the evening party I got some photos I didn't expect to get...the best man dashed onto the dance floor totally naked, did a few jigs and was gone!  smile

There is an old country Catholic tradition in this area where the Groom ushers in his mother, ushers in his bride's mother and then follows the priest down the aisle ahead of the bridesmaids.
