I’ve just had to sit through 30 minutes of the most cringeworthy TV i’ve ever seen in my life.  Basically it is a program where so-called Wedding Professionals (DJ, Photographers, Wedding planners, etc.) all tell the truth about Weddings they’ve worked at.

For example, there was the Toastmaster who knocked the top-tier of a wedding cake off onto the floor and rebuilt the 2nd tier and the Bride never noticed.  Then there was the wedding dress maker who pinned a wedding dress to show the Bride what it would look like if she lost weight, and then having made the decision that there was no-way on this God’s earth the Bride would lose weight, she unpinned it when the Bride walked out the door.  There was also the DJ who forgot his trousers one night and DJ’d in his underpants and dinnerjacket, and the Wedding Planner who claimed that DJ’s run to “their own time” and they are “always the cause” behind a late-running party.  The Wedding Planner is obviously booking the wrong DJ!

My jaw was firmly dropped for the whole 30 mintues as I watched a selection of sub-human so-called professionals rattle on about how they got their own back on the Bride and Groom without them actually knowing.  I can quite categorically say that in the many years I have worked in this business I have seen absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any of the stuff they were talking about.

I would post a link to the ITV website and the “watch again” player but it really is rubbish TV and not worth looking at.

Finally, I would like to inform all current and future clients that DISCOfever does not condone ANY of the items in this programme and I am utterly utterly disgusted that they even spent money creating the film in the first place.  Oh, and we don’t DJ in just our underpants either!

Totally bizzarre.

Something very interesting landed in my inbox this morning. It was a blog post by a bride living in Orange County, California. Her husband to be felt that investing in a real-life DJ was wasted money and is sure that he could do the same with a Mac, an iPod and a wedding guest. The Bride feels that this may not be such a good option and would really prefer to book a DJ.

One of the problems is that they have been to weddings before where they have used iPods and there have been some “technological issues”, likewise they have also been to weddings where the DJ hasn’t been so great.

Have a read of their post and we’ll see what happens over the coming weeks!

There’s also this VERY famous video on YouTube about iPod Weddings…

Now, I have to go and try and find a good hiding place for my brand new box of 50 Bic Pens. The kids keep nicking them you see.
