Pt. IX: Let’s Get This Ball Rolling!
Our DJ made an announcement for everyone to hold on as some folks got ready for the next show. Next show? What on earth was he talking about? I looked over and saw Sister Daffodil and Mr. D’s uncle fidgeting with the laptop and projector. I turned to Mr. D and he gave me a look that indicated he knew nothing about what was going on.
A message flashes across the screen: “Now, a little message for that special someone…” What is going on??
Before I know it, I see an image of Mr. D on the screen, in his tux. I am utterly confused. I didn’t even think it was him at first. When was this? Did this just happen between the ceremony and reception?
Suddenly, the on-screen Mr. D stands up and starts lip-syncing his heart out to the first verse from 98 degrees’ “I Do.” I start to recognize Santa Monica Pier in the video…
I could not believe it! If you know Mr. D, you would know that he is not the performing type. He’s the type of guy who will only get on the dance floor when I drag him out, the type of guy who prefers to chill with his buddies in the corner when we go out… definitely not one who loves the spotlight. Yet, here he was, just belting out this song! I was so shocked that I was still confused as to what was going on!
Then the next part, I could not believe… The video suddenly pans out, and all of his groomsmen are behind him, swaying back and forth to the music! This thing was a group effort!!!
Nobody could believe it! The crowd was going pretty wild!
The parents love it too!
I’ll show you a couple more highlights from the music video… I wish I could share with you the real thing, but a couple of the groomsmen would only be in the video under the condition that it would never be released to the public 
.
A little duet with FBIL Daffodil (who in real life truly has the voice of a Backstreet Boy!)…
Some full-on choreography with all the guys!
A couple of silly “serious” scenes…
Looking off into the distance…
In deep thought…
Toasting with some Santa Monica Pier churros…
And then the climax of the song, the last chorus, where Mr. D just goes full out! This was my favorite part!
The guys surround him as he finishes out the piece…
And then Mr. D finishes it out. The screen fades into another message: “Happy Wedding, Mrs. Daffodil! I love you this much! Love, Mr. D.”
Wow. Just…wow. I completely just do not know what to say.
“Surprise!!” Mr. D says. “Do you like it?” I am purely, utterly, completely speechless. Truly, truly, the best wedding gift ever!

Oh I love it! That reminds me very much of an idea we’re cooking up. So sweet of Mr. D to do that and what a fun way to kick off your party!
A friend of mine was on the bachelor and that’s where she met her hubby, who worked behind the scenes. At her wedding, they had a mock-bachelor video with footage from her time on the show. It was hysterical!
So sweet! What a lovely surprise!
Such a cute wedding. And I absolutely adore your Chinese dress. Can you tell me where you got yours? Thanks.
That is SOOO adorable!! Did they pre-record it or do it on the wedding day?
Wow. I’m tearing up at just the thought of the video. LoL. I must be a sap. Sooo cute of him to do that for you!
@Miss Meatball: so people DO find love on the bachelor! how sweet!
and i think that was such an awesome gift from mr. d. what a great memory!
That is so awesome! What a great surprise for you and I’m sure it will make for some lasting memories for Mr. D and his groomsmen.
that’s so adorable! when did he and his GMs find time to film this?!?
If I’m speechless I can’t imagine how you felt, being the bride he sang to… That was just GREAT!!!!
PS I loooove your dress!!!!
@Miss Meatball: that’s hilarious and so cute! that’s really cool that they found love on that show! 
@Miss Peach Green Tea: we got the dress in Hong Kong, where my parents live. There is this wedding “mall” in an area in Hong Kong called Prince Edward, and it was a shop on the second floor of that building right in front of the escalator (no idea what it was called though, sorry!)
@Mrs. Pinot Noir: @emileee: Mr. D is so sweet…He actually had the guys fly in a night early before the day of the bachelor party to do this!
amazing.
Wow! That is so awesome! And amazing! And hilarious! Lucky you!
