Holy Crap Sounds To Go, your wedding planner is way to easy to read and understand. Can I get some grammatical errors and a few less easy to read tables like mine?
Thanks man. All this time I just thought it was just an over-cluttered cluster-f!
It continue(s)d to grow and change as I come across new things I need to keep track of, plan for, etc... Every time I get bit at an event by anything that could've even been REMOTELY anticipated on my part during the planning process, it makes it's way in there.
A good example are the items about the photographer, ie what hrs they will be providing coverage and if there are any special shots (ie "Sunset shot" or groups shot with all guests) that the photographer will want/need to do or sneak them away for.
I don't believe in being a victim of circumstances - if something causes me or an event a glitch one time, I do my best to plan and avoid for it in the future and kick myself for not foreseeing it...
Hence, I'm not one of these guys that just "seems to have this same thing happen" again and again at multiple events. If that's going on, you need to tighten up your act! (IMHO)
Oh who am I kidding - I'm right!
Just about one of the most chaotic occurrences I had at one wedding where the guests were a little more white-trashy than the norm -
After the ceremony during pictures, the groomsmen were sharing stories about their dui's and court appearances just a few days prior - interesting to say the least.
It was already bad-off because it was one of those venues where one whole wall of the dinner hall was full of open doors so peeps were wondering oputside and around the grounds smoking and BS'ing... less than ideal for keeping a captive audience for your "grand" introductions.
Anyway, couple gets back from pics w photog, and the photog comes up and lets me know that they're standing outside and ready... and I go to get bridal party lines up just to find that 3 out of the 4 groomsmen had already shed their tuxes down to their wife-beaters - and one guy had gone and changes into his jeans altogether!
So after some serious melt-downing and ass-chewing from the bride, the three guys put their shirts and jackets back on, and the other one was introduced in his jeans and tee -
Plenty of chaos at that one!

I personally benefit from a more literal translation!God before alcohol. Most agree?
Interesting. I've never seen it done that way.
To each his own, I guess.
What happens if they want the toast during or after dinner? would you really question their decision?
Do you require that they do a blessing, or only work with couples that would be inclined to do such, or is this requirement regarding order only applicable if they make it known they are going to have a blessing for the meal?
Where do you put in those new choreographed funky first dances. You know, they ones where they start off slow then break into a wild funky dance routine? Those would be after toast and blessing, right? I love those types of first dances. They are so new and refreshing.
I've made a couple.....got one going in May. Fun to get the songs from the BG. They are all different!
Yeah, I've heard Tom loves to help arrange those in his own unique way.
If you have any of yours on video, do share.
Here's one from a family reunion

What if there is no alcohol then could they do toasts/blessing/meal?
I guess our order will be very strange. Doesn't match any of these. *lol*

thanks guys - I converted the PDFs to Doc files and now are easy to edit
Mike you can toast with anything it doesnt mean you must have Alcohol...

That still puts the blessing first so they can go for it.
Now, mind you, I cover blessings and toasts in the interview so any "difficulties" would be worked out before the contract.
I've had some that say that they didn't want a blessing. I asked them about their guests that have religious feelings and most got it and said that they'd include a blessing. The ones that said that they did not care sent up a red flag and the interview was closed. My feeling on that is that if they don't care about their guests feelings in such things then they are going to be a difficult client.

A lot of receptions they dont even do this blessing thing
maybe its a area thing but last time I did a blessing was 4x years ago
havent done one since no grace nothing
and toasts are organized either before meals, after mail meal or after sweets
it depends on bride and groom

Tom truly my friend
I can now see why it is so easy for you to call it quits. You hold a bride to a religious belief that you have? What if the bride is an atheist? Do you get the red flag instantly and leave the meeting?:sqerr: This is crazy.
