Oh Happy Day: Karaoke!

January 6th, 2009 @ 4:37 pm by Mrs. Toucan

Erm… Happy Belated New Year! I really wanted to finish up all my recap posts before 2008, but alas, I failed! So, how about I finish them up in 2009 instead?! :)

We had a few unplanned moments on our wedding day, but none was as fun as this one — our DJ brought along equipment for karaoke! At first, our guests were a little hesitant to participate, but after offering up the table centerpieces a prizes, people started coming to the mic.

We were trying to think of something fun to add to ours, but all I could come up with was Dance Dance Revolution and I didn’t want to be all sweaty in my wedding dress :)

karaoke is all too common at Vietnamese receptions! Suddenly, it’s every old man/woman singing their soul songs (the one song they can sing really well) and it has nothing to do with happiness/weddings!

I love that! I was thinking of doing that for my reception, perhaps near the end when everyone has had a couple of drinks…..
