I did a wedding a few years ago where the groom did the funniest thing I have ever seen while removing the garter. He went almost completely under her dress, only his butt and legs were visible. He had filled his pockets with random objects that nobody knew about. He started tossing all of these things out from under her dress as he "found" them under there. There was a spatula, a TV remote, an oven mitt, a sandwich, and quite a few other things.
The whole reception hall was dying with laughter.
Wish you were in my area Von Messa. A good DJ really makes a reception fun, and makes the photographers job a lot easier. Unfortunately, there are a lot of really crappy DJs on the wedding circuit.
Oh, there really are. I will never bad-mouth a competitor, but there are some real hacks out there.
I always try to get set-up early and make it a priority to coordinate with the photographer about the itinerary, as discussed with the bride, just so they know what is going on and have a chance to get the good shots.
I have seen DJ's that look at the photographer as "competition" of some kind when, in reality, when everyone that is working the wedding is on the same page, it goes much more smoothly and "hiccups" (best man is in the can puking, etc) are more more easily dealt with, and it is not so hectic for all of the working folks, that day.
