Hey Mr. DJ Put a Record On, I Wanna Dance With My Non-Legally Recognized Life Partner Pt.3

the search is over. i've found a DJ. here's the story:

since it clearly means more to me than it ever could to him, Stephen has left all the musical choices to me. no problem. i'd been kicking around the idea of hiring the guy from the previous post, despite my reservations and quite a bit of advice from John and my mom. on a lark, i asked Stephen what he thought of the guy despite his questionable business tactics. long story short? Stephen told me to try the DJ his sister used, last year, at their wedding. thinking "what the hell", i called him.

Tess, the woman who answered, was so fantastically sweet that i didn't know what to do. she asked how i heard of the DJ Company, and i dropped Stephen's sister's name. she asked how she was doing, and got terribly excited when i mentioned their new baby. in a very round about way she inquired how she and i were related and i told her that Stephen was her brother, and i was his boyfriend and that he and i were planning our wedding. that totally made her day. she started gushing about how fantastic she thought it was that we were getting committed and how appalled she was at the US government's treatment of gays and lesbians; she kept telling me how supportive she and her husband are of Gay Rights and Equality. it was all i could do, not to cry. she took down all the necessary information and told me that her husband (the DJ) would call me back as soon as he could. as i was about to hang up she told me (again) how happy she was for us and that she truly wished us the best of luck and the longest of lives together. when i got off the phone my co-worker told me i was blushing furiously.

if he's half as wonderful as his wife, i don't care how much he wants to charge (and i doubt it will be more than Dash of Class); he's the one. i'm a sucker for people who support me.
