Wedding tonight, I was doing my photobooth.
The groom is the grandson of my neighbor, nephew of a lady that works for me - I knew 10-15 people at the wedding.
I've met this guy before, the hubby of the lady that works for me speaks highly of him - and he spoke highly of himself tonite before the start of things.
Hmm..B/G are country (he says they gave him a list 3 pages long of country songs), ALL bridesmaids and flower girls wore cowboy boots..B/G are MAYBE 23 years old, if that.
The first 40 minutes of open dancing NOTHING newer than 1971. A couple of mix/mashups. No slow songs at all for 67 minutes. I don't think there were any country songs after dinner till the money dance (amazed) and then a while later a slow set with patsy cline...really? A 55 year old song for a couple whose parents were toddlers when it came out?
Do YOU want to dance to your GRANDPARENTS music at your wedding?
He did spend 20 minutes later in the evening playing 30 seconds of each of the 'normal' dance music.. wobble/low/hot line bling/crank dat/shots and a few others...had a half full floor of sub 25 year olds...but really, only 30 seconds of each then fade to the next?
And he kept getting louder as the evening went on, almost too loud, then did a mash/mix of heavy metal followed by chicken dance and then metallica..at which time he turned down the volume (then did the songs above).
This is the second time this year that I've seen a DJ spend the first open dance period, or most of it, playing OLDIES. Not motown even.
