As a member of the Toronto wedding band community and someone who has played hundreds of weddings I’ve learned how to distinguish who was and who wasn’t invited the weddings I play.
There are many shapes and forms to a wedding. The full range of emotions are felt on such a day considering its magnitude. Happiness for the couple and their joining together, sadness for the loved ones who are missing and can’t be there to share in the event, stress with all of the planning, the making of the wedding gown, the cake, the caterers, the flowers, the wedding hall, the money you have to spend!
On top of all of that, however is the shear joy and fun that which is dancing the night away listening to all of your favourite hits played by the top wedding band in the city see: elevationband.com 🙂 So, check it out. You’re all on the dance floor having a blast, literally twisting the night away, when all of a sudden you notice some strange faces lurking. These people have made their way onto the dance floor and are partying like it’s 1999. Remember the movie “Wedding Crashers?” Uh, yeah. Those guys. They’re up there dancing away and you’re trying to figure out if you even know these people let alone invited them. You kindly approach them with a fake smile and say “hi. How do I know you?” These most courageous fellows answer you with the utmost confidence “it’s me! Don’t you remember? We met back at the Leafs game 6 months ago. You were telling us about your daughters’ wedding and where it was happening and when. So we decided to come by and surprise you. SURPRISE!”
And surprised you are. You’re faced with a dilemma. After all, these two guys have come to wish you well and celebrate the evening with you even though they’ve shown without an invite. Quite possibly they may be thieves or even worse, there to take your second and third daughters.
If you want my advice then I’ll tell you like this. You as a host could quite possibly be stressed beyond reproach over this peculiar situation. But the band is gonna love this. Because when random people show up and charge up the energy, then the band gets energized. If the band gets energized, the music gets better. If the music gets better, the guests get happier. If the guests get happier, then YOU get happier.
Sure, there may be the slightest most minute possibility that something could go astray with these unwanted cretons who have appeared so randomly. But when you think about it, even a wanted guest could end up making big time problems for you. Just think, if you have an open bar (This could be the subject of the next blog) all sorts of freaky things can happen. Maybe some these invited guests could end up trashing the place costing you thousands in paying off those damages.
So, in my eyes even if these two guys and up taking the last of your most precious daughters away from you, always remember. They had the wherewithal to come out to your daughters’ wedding to celebrate with you even though they weren’t invited. That’s how much spirit these two guys have. Hey, when you think about it – everything in life is a risk.
So I say, let em’ stay and the band shall play!
