On the other hand, I think it's not really doing you a "favour" when a person is asked to be part of the ceremony and goings on at your wedding. Most people are delighted to help out and I would like to think it would make them feel good that you wanted them to have a special place in your most important day! |
I'm worried that really nobody is comfortable with it! One of Scott's friends would have been great, but now he's a groomsman. I guess there's always his uncle to fall back on if we want to.
When my best friend got married and I was her MOH, I was honoured to be a part of her day! But then when I realized I had to make a speech I was pretty nervous. It worried me for weeks until it was over! I just hope that whoever we ask to be MC doesn't say yes just because they feel they HAVE to do it for us. But on the other hand I worry nobody will say yes!
I don't know, I guess I sometimes feel like we're inconveniencing people. Scott's mom wanted us to call his uncle to be our DJ. I wanted to just get a local DJ, but I decided to compromise... they also wanted Scott's dad to do our photos with his digital camera, and I said I wanted a real photographer. I got the real photographer, and said we could get the uncle as a DJ. We will rent the equipment for him, and he will donate his time as a wedding gift to us.
So anyways, Scott called to ask and his aunt answered, so Scott asked to speak to his uncle. His uncle got on the phone and Scott asked him if he would DJ for us, and his uncle seemed to be on the fence about it but he said yeah he thinks he could do it, and then his aunt in the background said something like "Don't you dare tell them you'll be the DJ and leave me sitting alone all night again!"
But that was background noise, and his uncle didn't know that Scott heard it. Scott felt terrible later and I said we'll just book a DJ instead. He talked to his mom about it and she said she would call and ask about it, and then she called us back and said that the aunt was just kidding around. My guess is the aunt was embarassed that Scott heard it.
It just makes me apprehensive about how people are really feeling about helping us out!
I ramble a lot, don't I?
