Bad enough that we're stereotyped as the guys that force The Chicken Dance down unsuspecting guests throats and now this. I steer clear of this practice and suggest that if you do engage in it, just make sure they're not brother and sister.

Well, I am me, and I do. But if someone really wanted to do it as a DJ, I wouldn't say "no".
LOL, I think I like you.
But do people still play the chicken dance at weddings? I haven't heard it in years.
Im thankful here in BC they dont do this nor do they do the money dance but if asked of course it would be done actually I kind of like the double ring for the guys and gals and playing music and stopping it for the end results. This goes another step into my ring and the symbolic efforts I add for the evening.
If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't, it doesn't. I never bring it up or suggest it. I've never had it happen yet, but have had the two winners take a picture once.
Just go with the flow on that one.

The chicken dance gets played, as does the Hokey Pokey; not all the time - it gets played though.....
Force ??? Puh-lease. The clients ask for it; i comply, i don't force any sort of slf perceived omnipotence when it comes to what the client wants... is it any worse than the thug rap crap that's on the radio today? I don't force that crap on my clients either
always did it here
although LATELY.....I have been seing more couples choose to let the two "catchers" dance a slow song, or not do anything.
some don't even bother with the garter, they just throw the bouquet.
As for being innapropriate
I think most people who get up there know what they're getting into.
If they dont wanna do it, they dont have to catch it.
I did have a few that were uncomfortable (bouquet catcher was WAY too young)
in which case I either had the girl choose someone to fill in for her...
or just bagged it.
But as many have said. It's not MY decision.

Switch 'em & have the guy blindfolded & he puts it on another groomsmen.
I've had many couple ask for this.

Seriously - Were most of you born in a cave. I think the word prudish comes to mind. Gawd have some fun!!!:tritongue: And as far as having kids involved, I ask the bride and groom at the consultation if they want kids involved and if yes, we set standards right there and then about how the donning of the garter is going to happen. I also suggest to them if they want the kids to be involved I tell the bride she can toss out a teddy bear to all the young kids and the winner gets a nice prize. These are the type of things that need to worked out way before the wedding reception even happen!

sorry but that auto play music on your site kills it period....
but you have to remember its all this PC crap that also kills things
you cant do this - you cant do that
but its also a regional thing as well..
.
nobody has any right to shoot down what other DJs do to run their business. Haven't you all figured out by now that what might be tacky for you might be gold for others and what is gold to you might be tacky to others?
Stop putting your morals and impressions on others and learn that there is more than 1 way to things....
and if you think there is only one way to things, fine, start wearing aloha shirts at your gigs, say Mahalo and Aloha and Da kine and ono grinds and then we can talk....

Have done it literally hundreds of times in 25 years. Always up to the bride and groom (it's on my planner). And, I always mention to them in the planning session that IF they want to do this, that I will only request ladies OVER the age of 18 to make their way to the dance floor for the Bouquet Toss.

Just spoke to my bride last night and asked them what they want to do with it or without. They want to go all out so that is what will happen.
I do what my client's ask for. Tacky for some, expected by others, I don't push onto them my opinions or beliefs. I cater to their detail at all times as long as it is in my reach.

LOL....^ haven't played that since the 90's and it was requested. Same as for the Macarena but my B/G requested it this week!:trisad:
Some just seem to think their way is the only way and they know what is right for all others no mater what!
