Hey Mr. DJ Put a Record On, I Wanna Dance With My Non-Legally Recognized Life Partner

tonight, the hubby and i are off to pick a DJ for the Commitment Ceremony. this is the next step in booking the "important people" for the big day. so far, the list looks good(if i knew how to strike out the text i would):


  • Catering Hall? done!
  • Celebrant? done!
  • DJ
  • Photographer
  • Florist
  • Honeymoon? (thanks to MS, this one just got easier!)

we're going to see a DJ company called Dash of Class. they're who my brother used for his wedding. Stephen and i have always found the name...interesting. why just a dash? wouldn't you want more than just a dash? or are they saying that anything more than a dash is just too much class? granted, they're mostly from Staten Island and Brooklyn, but couldn't they scrape together more than just a dash?

i have 3 very simple rules for the DJ:

  1. there will be absolutely no theme dances (ie Hands Up, the Electric Slide or the Dollar Dance)
  2. he is not allowed to speak on the microphone, except to announce the "dance with my mother" and "couple's 1st dance". if he harrasses anyone to get up and dance, i'll plunge the cake knife in his heart.
  3. he will be given an approved song list that he is absolutely not allowed to deviate from. if he does, he'll meet the same end as in #2.

if he thinks Bride-zillas are tough, wait till he sees Bottom-zilla.

1. Congratulations!

2. Wedding DJs suck. What is with them walking around like everyone wants to be "chosen" and the magical DJ charm will just coax all of us lovely butterflies out of our cocoons and we'll start Macarena-ing all over the place?

3. Love the Stewie clip

4. Perhaps I haven't been to enough weddings lately. What are Hands Up and the Dollar Dance?

the Dollar Dance:
it's like the watered-down-white-people-reggae-version of the Electric Slide. Hands Up is just the most irritating wedding song ever played.

personally if i had to be forced to do one of these dances it would be the Chicken Dance (i've always had a soft spot for it).
