The Wedding Band vs Wedding DJ conundrum

[faceman802]

Australia, Fiji, New Zeland et al are really cool, would be warm, and there's enough to do that you can be completely content fucking or sitting on the beach, and when she becomes repulsed by you physically, it's picturesque and go on tours.

well done

He's helpful and hurtful at the same time. It's truly breathtaking. He'll overtake gonzo soon if this keeps up

We went to St. Lucia, it was a lot of fun & we pretty much drank/fucked/swam the entire week, and the food was outstanding.

Looks like we will go with a Jazz Quintet (piano, bass, drums, sax and trumpet) who plays American standards (Sinatra, Porter, Bennet, etc etc), Jazz, Swing Classics, Bossa Nova & Latin..and who will put on during some breaks some more R&B/Rock choice (from our own list).

Still going to interview the DJ, but this band and guy gave us a very good vibe, and he has a stellar reputation.

It will be cool/classy music for the dinner/drinks portion, but the last three hours of the reception will be a stuffy borefest.

Kudos on that.

[Gooch]

Your opinion is duly noted.

I should add we are not doing a stagnant sit-down dinner. Cocktail hour will end with guests being led into main dining hall, with a plated appetizer..but food will be in a Grand Reception style, where people go to food stations in another room (glorified fancy buffet style). Band and dancefloor are where everyone can see them, but not where people will be walking to food.

Band will be playing more danceable tunes, they'll be a good 45min with smoking a stogy with the groom (with cigars furnished courtesy of Cigar Aficionado).

Ultimately, we feel with the savvy band, some good music choices to get people moving, and also having a DJ when they are on break...will amply fill time so that it doesn't get boring.

on that note...it also looks like French Polynesian Isles are the honeymoon choice. (Moorea, Bora Bora...and possibly Huinine). We'll have things to keep us busy besides snorkeling and harpooning myself, shark feeding in Bora Bora, 4wd excursions on Moorea, Kayaking, sailing, hiking, etc.

You have a corporate sponsor for your wedding?

[Gooch]

no, just friends in good places.

I have the pallet of a 12 year old. I can't tell the difference between a Marlboro Red and a Cohiba. I have no idea why anyone smokes cigars.

I submit that no one actually likes it and they are just doing it because they think other people think it's cool.

[Gooch]

A cigar is a tightly rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobacco. there is no difference to appreciating a wine, beer or cigar. If you know either one enough and have some sort of palate to deciminate the subtle nuances...you can do such with a cigar as well. Tobacco has a flavor...not that anyone can know from the dreck sold from most stores. Macanudo, White Owls, Te-amo, Garcia Vega and that ilk don't count. A fine cuban or dominican should be experienced at least once..errr, cigar that is. If it isn't still appreciated, c'est la vie.

[Galt]

I have smoked numerous Cuban cigars as well as less expensive cigars and can tell no difference, nor do I find them enjoyable. And it's the same thing with sushi.

I go out with people who love them and want me to do it as well. I tell them I don't like sushi or cigars and they act shocked. IMPOSSIBLE! I should try some. I have tried some. I've had the same conversation with 50 people. I've tried it and I don't like it. What do you want from me? Well, you just haven't had the right kind. So they assure me that if I have THIS cigar or THIS type of sushi, I'll be turned around. I ask them if they have any gay friends that they try and "fix" in the same way.

But to prevent a long drawn out argument about the Christian Crusade like manner of their argument, I force it down, and assure them that my opinion has not changed. I don't see the interest in cigars and I don't like sushi. And I make them pay.

Not making any point to you about it. Just remember how it's known to be a horrible personal trait to treat those who disagree with you as stupid, sheltered, broken, ignorant (though no one is less tolerant than a die-hard liberal), while when I explain that I don't like cheese, mayo, butter, sushi, cigars, caviar, and other areas of taste, people act like I'm some simpleton who a disorder of some sort.

I don't like sushi myself, I love the rolls though.

spicy tuna rolls!!!

more like just a freak of nature.

[GonzoStyle]

well its taste, I hate people who try to convince you that they know "just the place" or "you just haven't had the good kind".

I also hate mayo, cigars and caviar... except for that sweet ass eggplant caviar, so good.

I'll bet.

[Keyser Soze]

the fish by itself is sashimi, the rolls are sushi

[Galt]

[faceman802]

I like tuna with mayo but it's got to be hellmann's that miracle whip shit doesn't cut it

[GonzoStyle]

the fish without rice is sashimi, the fish on top of rice is sushi, a roll is a hand roll.

the roll for you continues, estupida.
