here's a little something i did at a wedding a few years ago. my buddy asked me to mc his reception - no problem!!

now i'll preface this by saying we live in bc and myself along with most of the wedding party are HUGE flames fans. most of the guests we're from bc... hence canucks fans. also, the groom is huge into hockey, so hockey stuff at the reception wouldn't really surprise anyone.... ok - onto the story.

the room is full of guests, the music softens and i call in the wedding party. once the applause/glass tapping was done i get everyone to sit. now, this is the time that i would usually introduce the wedding party, but first i had to do something. i said something like, 'i'm going to introduce the wedding party in a second, but first, something just doesn't feel right... i just don't feel comfortable yet...' i go into a back room and haul out this god-awful squeaky ugly red chair. the bride and groom just about lose it they are laughing so hard. this ugly red chair was from the groom's old place - it was the chair i ALWAYS sat in when we watched flames games. they had thrown it out a couple months before the wedding and i scooped it/stored it for this special day. then i grabbed a flames flag i had hanging from a stand and set that up and then followed that up by sticking a big flames decal to the podium (so every pic taken it looked like it was a flames press conference). i then grabbed a bunch of red flames jerseys for the groom/groomsmen. during lots of flames games we'd order the exact same pizza for dinner, so i had one delivered right around the time the main course was served - so the guys in the wedding party could enjoy a few slices together!

it was great - definitely a wedding that most guests would not soon forget.


***oh... to stop the glass tapping = kiss.... we had a mini net & mini sticks... you had to come in and do a dangle/trick shot into the mini net to get the bride/groom to pucker up
