Wedding Vendor Hell: DJs, Photographers, and Skype Calls

• 8:00Wedding planning involves meeting dozens of vendors—tux guys, cake people, DJs, light people—an entire industry built around girls' childhood fantasies.
• 8:21Tim's future father-in-law has been saving into a 401k specifically to fund a Cinderella day for his daughter once he learned her sex.
• 8:38Wedding vendors only address the bride and ignore Tim entirely, treating him as a prop at the table.
• 9:02Tim attempts to participate by saying random words like "table" to seem involved, which the vendors completely ignore.
• 9:24Meeting DJs in person for Skype call follow-ups is suicidal—Tim has contemplated killing himself during these meetings.
• 9:41DJs show up with iPads and swipe through shaky iPhone videos of weddings they may or may not have actually worked, demonstrating they can press a button to play music.
• 10:18DJs emphasize that wedding music is their profession and they take it seriously, which Tim interprets as admitting they're failed DJs who only do weddings.
• 10:42The DJ process requires couples to request all songs on a packet sheet, but the DJ will play whatever they want regardless.
• 10:53Every Long Island wedding will inevitably feature Frankie Sinatra and "Hey Jude" no matter what songs are requested.
