1st Dance Song: "Then" by Brad Paisley
"Dear Robert, thank you so much for the fabulous job DJ'ing our wedding reception. Seeing you in action at Kali & Dan's wedding, we knew you'd be great and we wouldn't have to worry about anything. Your fun and engaging personality really helped make the reception wonderful, and I can't count how many compliments we got from our guests about you. Keep doing what you're doing! :)" -Brad & Megan Fredrickson1st Dance Song: "Then" by Brad Paisley
Megan & Brad were at a wedding I worked in September of 2008. As a result, they felt full confidence in me. We met once last year, but only emails between then and the reception. That's their choice, but always make me nervous for some reason. I guess I just prefer face to face to be clear on what they mean when they say what they want.
They hired me to make their video slide show. Traditional style, but they made it shorter (seven minutes down from ten) and swapped their song choices with two of mine (Eight Days a Week by the Beatles and I Love You, You Imbecile). I noticed, during the video, that the groomsmen kept cheering for certain things. The Vikes, Twins, Fighting Sioux. After the video I tried a little experiment.... simply saying the work 'Vikes' over the mic got a big cheer from them. Good to know.
No Chicken Dance, no hokey pokey, no dollar dance. Requests were all over the place... Justin Bieber to an Irish jig and one for Whitney Houston's I Want to Dance with Somebody." The list included "Queen of Hearts" by Juice Newton. At Megan's mom's wedding 28 years ago that song was a big deal, and they were singing so loudly the police came and broke up the party. Its been a tradition ever since for mom and her siblings.
