Notes: TERRIBLE DJ. Ceremony feed was only playing the music, not the lyrics, and no mic feed. reception had music playing in our feed. DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING! Will also just randomly get on the mic during reception events? (he's just casually chiming in during the shoe game for Katrina & Ben??) Bro this dumb fuck has 2 seconds playing during the first dances. what the fuck.
