…we’re all going to sync them at the door before the ceremony.

At a family dinner one night, my Aunt asked how our wedding plans were coming along. Here is how the dialogue went:

Aunt: Do you have a cake yet?
Me: Yes, we have a great bakery in Brooklyn we plan to work with…
Aunt: Because I could give you the name of the place where I got the Chocolate Mousse cake that I brought tonight.
Me: Oh, thanks, um.. sure, but I think we might end up at this bakery I mentioned, just because they’re local and we really love their stuff.
Aunt: And a band? Do you have a band yet?
Me: We are still deciding if we want a band or a dj. We know this great band, but aren’t sure if their music would work for everyone for a full night…
Aunt: I had a jazz band at my wedding, do you remember? They were great.
Me: Yeah, I guess I sort of remember (I was 11 when she got married, I am now 28).
Aunt: I wonder if they are still playing… I could find their name if you want.
Me: Do wedding bands stay together for that long?
Aunt: I’ll look for their name!
Me: Well, we were also thinking of just asking a friend to dj from an ipod or something…
Aunt: What?! How would that work? Then only one person could hear the music at a time?
Me: Mom, do you need help clearing dessert from the table?
