Nice day down here in Southern California, Sky was a little overcast as this Wedding Ceremony stated.

I have provided the Minister with a clip on Mic as required per brides request and set a wireless hand held on a stand off to the side about 5 feet away from the minister as a back up. The hand held is not a requirement from the bride but something I do as standard operating procedures.

B/G are half way thru the ceremony facing each other holding each others hand as the Minister is reading from his book the part about the ring being a circle when he starts to stumble on his words as if he has lost his place reading his book or had a brain freeze. This goes on for a full minute before some of the gentlemen in the front row come to his aid as he is getting ready to faint. It's kind of fuzzy now in recollection but I don't think the B/G ever let go of their hands or moved.....LOL

Several members escort the minister to a shady location away from the ceremony location, There goes my clip on mic. Another pastor in the audience steps up to continue the service, Remember the second mic that wasn't a requirment that is sitting off to the side. I walk up and stop the minister place the handheld on the mic stand in front of him and off we go with me worrying how am I going to get my clip on mic back if the E.M.T. arrive and cart the fainting minister away before the ceremony ends.

This scenario is offered so that other DJs can decide if they want to be prepared or just do what the Bride says to do.
 
Always prepared to never skip more than one beat and keep on clickin. How about somesouthern rock music for some of those folks down in Southern California eh Cesar?
 
I really don't think it would have been inappropriate to get your Mic from the Minister. You could use the excuse that you did not want the wire wrapping around his neck.

Sorry but I am not about to loose an expensive Mic. BTW how did you retreive it?
 
Hey Cesar! Good to see you here again.

I would have retrieved the mic back in a low key manner as long as the minister and the EMS were along the side or out of audience view. Your back up plan is superb. I don't really do too many ceremonies but when I do it's just for backround music. Most of the venues in my area set up a little podium with a mic and speaker. I guess it's one less thing to worry about at a event.
 
Anybody attempting to retrieve the Mic from the passed out minister might of missed their cue to play the Recessional music if they operate alone.


Thank you John!
 
I believe it simply makes sense to have a back up of everything that's critical. Whether it's the pastor passing out, an electronic failure, or simply a bad battery, you don't have time to fix the problem during a ceremony.
 
I don't know about keeping the spare a few feet away. I alway keep a spare with me ready to go.....as the other minister came up I would have greeted him with the spare mic.

I would have finished the ceremony and hoped for the best with the wireless..... I definately would have tried to retrieve it, but not at the expense of the B&G.

But cudo's for getting through without a hitch.
 
one would hope that you go and get the mic, and take a moment to check and make sure the pastor is doing okay. otherwise, you'd appear quite COLD for being more concerned about the mic. the spare mic was a blessing, but if you were truly prepared, you woulda had a spare pastor. you are so lucky there was a guy to fill in. c'mon Cesar, I can't think of these things FOR ya.
