How to have an iPod wedding
It only takes attending a few weddings to be filled with dread at the thought of boring music, elitist DJs, or, God forbid, “Cottoneyed Joe.” And once you’re faced with the task of planning a wedding of your own, if you’re anything like me you come to two more important realizations:
- DJ Skeezy is not interested in your wedding—he’s too busy preparing for spinning techno at the club later that night.
- He charges how much?
With all the other insane preparations that go into throwing the party of your life, who wants to spend even more time and effort finding the perfect DJ who will play all your favorite songs, and never kill the mood with a real clunker (Michael Bolton, anyone)? Even more frustrating, professional DJs will make you spend time filling out a list of songs you would want played, and then either ignore your suggestions or get a little too… “creative.”
Well, stop the cold sweats. Maybe an iPod wedding is for you. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- An iPod (or your laptop with your favorite music player) and power source (for those all night booty shakers)
- A friend who won’t mind pressing Play
- An “All-Time Greatest Wedding Song” brainstorm session with your spouse-to-be
- A follow-up session with your friends to add a few more… and to axe the songs that you’ll be too embarrassed for them to hear
- A PA system, mixing board, or an amplifier attached to speakers
- A cable with a _” to 1/8″ adaptor
- Our handy-dandy Wisdom Of The Masses Playlist, aggregated from other iPod Wedding users’ uploaded playlists, to jog your memory of that special, can’t-miss jam that you’ve been forgetting about
