Ok we did the event and I have to say that the only thing I would have done with the 100 dollars other than keep it. Would have been to stuff it up the dads ass connected to a 2 by 4. This had to be one of my most difficult events since 2005 when we started. The wedding was successful and the bride and groom where happy but dad was a pain in my ass beyond belief. I guess he was paying for everything and he made sure everyone knew about it. I'm playing some hip hop full dance floor including bride and groom. Pretty soon dads best friend pulls me inside the house and says.
"Rick hates this Crap so don't play any more of it" Hmm ok I will see what I can do. I didn't say anything to the bride and groom because there is tons of other music I could play. And I was not getting any request for it so no problem. Ok I have a packed dance floor and I'm playing some disco mom is dancing bride and groom is dancing. Pretty soon dad walks up nice and lit and leans up against my laptop and I literally had to tell him not to do that and moved it out of his way. His words are. "I hate this disco Crap don't play anymore of it". So I tell him I'm playing to the dance floor and simply trying to keep his daughters party going. He states firmly I hate this Crap don't play any more of it.
Ok so right about now I'm feeling like my hands are getting tied dad basically liked 80s and classic rock. Well I'm keeping the dance floor fairly busy with other stuff but not many requests with disco or hip hop anymore so I'm just trying to make it work. Pretty soon the request started coming in for hip hop and disco and I had to tell folks I was being limited on what I could play. At this time I felt that it was directly effecting the bride and groom so since I was contracted with them I went and told them not to cause any problems but I felt that my hands where being tied and I didn't want the B&G to feel it was me so I told them what was going on.
You could tell the bride was kinda pissed at her dad I kept hearing from other folks in side conversation what and ass he is The groom told me to keep it off unless requested and then if I had any problems send dad his way. About 1/2 hour later it was pretty played out and everything was basically over. We played the last dance. Bride and groom left and we got the hell out of hell. I told my wife I would not do another event for them even if they wanted us. Again the bride and groom where very happy and told us we had done and excellent job for them.
I can honestly say I just flat out hated this wedding and had never had experienced anything like this dad. It was a total experience in rude behavior. The bad thing was I kept hearing the bride was a bridezilla though it never came close to us. By the way the B&G where both Cops. Thanks for listening to my rant. I always ask the wife to grade me and she can be harsh because I want the honestly so I can become even better. She gave me a solid "A". But I am bald now from pulling out my hair.
