Eh, been to one wedding you've been to 'em all. I see nothing wrong with showing one's closest friends and family a nice time by way of a delicious meal and getting 'em liquored up. It's not really any different than hosting the family Christmas - it just involves people getting married.

Certainly isn't for everyone and I can see why. Lucky for me I have a VERY small family, which keeps our guest list small.

I want to get married and have a plan to keep it small.

I am marrying a divorcee who's dream wedding has already been crushed. She will be too embarrassed to have another big wedding and will want to keep it small.

30-40 people max is what Im dreaming of. Something off the beaten path like a bocce ball court.

LOL

I don't see the fun in having a huge wedding. You have to be all polite to your guests and shake everyone's fuckin hand and all that formal bullshit - no thanks. It's just so impersonal.

I'm just simply laughing at "none of us gives a shit but we hired a wedding planner."

Don't get all Jamie on us now.

That being said, mazel tov.

We hired a wedding planner exactly because we don't want to deal with it. She does everything, all we have to do is show up and enjoy ourselves.

Hire a good DJ who refuse to play pop shlock

Lol, for sure. Got that covered.

No Billy Idol White Wedding!

Hire me I work for under minimum wage

Hahaha, I'm paying my friend (a well known Toronto local) to do it. He knows what I like and what our expectations are, and he has an extensive background in music, not just straight up rave tunes. It's gonna be so good!

The best is, the wedding planner emailed me early on saying "So your guy isn't regularly a wedding DJ right? Because the DJ/music can make or break a wedding, and my guy is only xxxxx dollars!

I had a good lol, and was glad to know how much it costs to pay some dickhead I don't even know to play top 40, when I'm paying my friend just a bit less than the wedding planner's quote to play actual good music.

One of my other friends is a professional photographer too, so same deal. Get him plus an assistant for 10 hours and all images edited for WAY less than we' d have to pay a stranger of the same calibre- and not cheesy wedding photo shit.

It just feels good to know I'm giving business to my friends and not strangers, especially for such an important occasion. I know it'll add to the overall vibe of the day too.

jamie kid or no one !

Lol, nah not him.
