Serious said:

chillichocaholic said:

At first I read ex-wife and when I saw ex-fiancee I thought okay... .

I just finished watching it . . . AGAIN.

That is so me! I could never have a big wedding

I used to have these notions of a fairy tale wedding with the big white dress, and when I was planning it 5 years ago, that's where I was heading. Never got there.
Now, over 40, if I'm blessed to find the right person, I want low key.

This was awesome...and made me all I love how they did that!!!!

If it was the dream of the man I was to marry I would do it for him, but I would be terrified .

Oh gosh, I'm supposed to be the MC at a friend's wedding in Warsaw, Poland in August. If this is the kind of stuff I'm going to compete with, I'm screwed. It'll be hard enough to juggle three languages and find the right tone for two very different cultures. I haven't even prepared any jokes or anything, I figured I'd mostly just wing it. Maybe that was a bad idea...

Does anybody else have any MC (Master Of Ceremonies) experience?

Not enough by the looks of of it.

JustErin said:

Me too.

I actually am surprised they had a whole wedding party of white folk willing to, ahem, "dance".

Besides all that, I don't find it appropriate.

I think that was fun and a brilliant way to start off a marriage. Who cares whether they are good or bad dancers, this isn't a competion for 'Step it up and dance' lol it's a wedding. Major kudos to the couple. Good song choice too.

What? Wasn't that Chris "Knock 'Er Out" Brown?

I can't believe how many of you got teary at this?

Cinnie said:

And? His music has nothing to do with that incident and he should not be branded for life with the scarlet letter.

Cinnie said:

oh stop you cried too

PanthaGirl said:

Choice for a wedding song. Just sayin'.

Cinnie said:

One incident has nothing to do with another aspect of his life. It's how he is perceived by others and it's the public that continue to brand him relentless, as U do....Just sayin'

KidaDynamite said:

Yeah, but none of them are dancers though, and they actually did get all the real choreography in there. Which is more than I can say for some people who can't learn even 8 counts of something more simple (I used to teach dance).

JustErin said:

You're terrible.


I bawled my bloody eyes out!!

Cinnie said:

Yeah, I can't possibly think that dance is sweet when they chose a Chris Brown song for the entrance. Although that song is kind of old; maybe they got married before he beat Rhianna up. Regardless: churches, weddings, bad dancing -- I'm not really into any of that.

jone70 said:

Maybe it was before then.

Any which way, I find this entrance "fun" but inappropriate, especially considering the other super-serious backdrop: held in a church.

retina said:

Good. Luck. That's all I can say.

I was Best Man for a friend many years ago - I haaaaate public speaking and wouldn't do it now. So what possessed me to do it when I was that young, I have no idea. I was shy, nervous, under-prepared. Add to that the bride was Russian so everything had to be translated. Plus, the groom's father (a great guy but loves to be the centre of attention) kept throwing in 'surprises' all day - that I had to announce... I was a nervous wreck by the end of it. To this day, I refuse to watch the wedding video - I can't bear to see how awful I must have been. It was an amazing honour to have been asked but, next time, I'd politely decline.


That's NOT to put you off - just don't follow my example! Try not to worry about it, relax, be yourself - the best ones I've seen are always natural, the MC isn't trying to show off or be the 'comedian' (unless they're naturally funny). Just be warm, try to engage everyone in some way that they can relate to and have fun. Not very good advice but you just need to enjoy the experience.

Oh, and maybe have a shot of something to loosen you up before the ceremony - Ididn't (fearing I'd get drunk). In retrospect, I shoulda had the bottle.


Don't worry about it... your friend would have asked you for a reason; they'll have faith in you. Everyone who's done it will have different advice; all I can say is just ENJOY the experience - good luck!

Cinnie said:

Hot, uncoordinated mess.

The last wedding I went to, the MC was actually someone who is a rapping emcee, though not rapping while hosting the reception, but I think it made total sense.

CalhounSq said:

I "get" that too, but I just find this over-the-top-ness unfitting for the occasion.

PanthaGirl said:

I can't help but think they might have jinxed themselves for having an inappopriate wedding.

Cinnie said:

I'd agree with U if it was a funeral.
Why should a wedding being be solemn? They were celebrating their union with their friends and family.

chocolate1 said:

Not solemn, just "humble" in respect for the ceremony. I wouldn't act like that in church, and sure not during a ceremony held elsewhere. I realize it is only the entrance but there are other chances to display joy and celebrate during a wedding.
