Something interesting that happened at my wedding... what would YOU do?

I would have said, 'ok', gone directly over to the DJ, very obiosuly talk to him and either

1) tell him to pretend to lower the music
2) tell him to lower the music for now, and bring it back up at the next song

Am I bad?

Actually the more I think of it lol I probably would have been more likely to do that then anything else. If someone annoyed me or said something I didnt like I really did not want to talk to them at all that day and I think that would shut them up... at least for the time being

I got this idea from one of the DJs I met with. We were telling him how we hate the electric slide and stuff like that and do NOT want it played, and eh said at least 10 people are going to request it, and he said the best solution he finds is to tell them yes, he just has to find a palce to fit it in, and then go fidget with the CD's. LOL Makes them feel better thah if you say now, and hopefully they will forget!

Okay - sorry it took so long... work - ya know!

Well... aside from DH getting more than a little annoyed. He told everyone flatly, 'No' each time someone asked. He said this is a party and the music is at a reasonable volume.

His mother actually pleaded with him at one point. I personally thought it was so rude that they would ask repeatedly. Once, okay, I understand. But THREE times??

What happened was that his sister ended up getting pissy and leaving early with the baby. They didn't make a big stink about it, but it was obvious. Her husband came up and asked DH once more, DH said no, and then he said 'Well, then we're leaving'.

And we were like 'Oh well, sorry you have to go! Bye now!'

BTW, I would have been furious if they went to the DJ first (even though I know our DJ would never do that without checking with us first).

Wow, they left?

Glad to have you respnd woman - feathers were ruffled while you were gone! LOL

BTW, knowing your DJ I am certain the music was not that loud...Jose just doesn't seem like a kid doing a loud wedding (no, that would have been my wedding, with the club type DJ ), so they were being VERY picky.

I'm sure you had fun regardless (and probably more after they left)...and out of curiousity, where they Spanish? OK, I'll stop before I get hate FM's!

I would have been too. I even almost told my band to not take requests. ( cotrolling much? )

My mom wanted to ask the Maitre d if he could turn up the AC, but she asked me first. I thought that was fine, b/c she was my mom & I agreed that it was hot, but I was do busy to deal with it.

Was it an evening wedding? She was probably tired. If she were my child, I would have either taken her home or made a comfy spot for her to fall asleep. At my cousin's wedding, our little cousin (FG also) who was four fell asleep on the floor in a corner where she was safe. At that age, your FG was probably just tired from all that was going on. The parents should have realized this, and also realized that as her parents this is their problem to deal with, and not yours. I think it was rude to bother you with this, given that no one else felt the music was too loud.

---

I completely agree

---

Me too. And for anyone rude enough to bother me with this, I would've said I'm sorry but it's a wedding - there will be music and it will be loud because we've got reason to celebrate here. Maybe it's time for FG to be taken to bed.

I too would've been very angry if they went to the DJ first. And, sometimes it seems like people don't think ahead - you can see this happening. I know she's a FG, but if it were my daughter, and she was the FG, I might've had a friend or sitter come pick her up from the reception early to take her to bed at decent hour, and let me and FH enjoy ourselves for the rest of the wedding.

that's actually a good idea!!!

We didn't have children at our wedding except for our ring bearer and jr. bridesmaid. I can't imagine my BIL complaining about the volume.

I probably would have told the parents that if they knew the child had sensitive hearing, they should have gotten ear plugs for her.

My ring bearer did get tired and cranky, but went into the library at WM and plopped down on the couch and did this.

my inlaws were asking DJ if they can give shot outs and make song dedications

omg, how cool was that.

I would have said (the first time) 'Sure' and done nothing

The 2nd time, I would have said, 'Okay, let me remind him again' and still done nothing.

The 3rd time, I would have said, 'oh, he did lower it'

It's very rude for people to complain about ANYTHING at a wedding, let alone complain to the BRIDE or GROOM. That's just unacceptible.
