😂 Food tray girl...the story of every bride who doesn't get time to eat at her own wedding classic!

[@MusicManTHS]

As a wedding DJ, this hit home pretty hard. I think the only song out of those I don't play regularly is Endless Love. But, I have nothing but Endless Love for your channel and amazing videos!

[@mattmabou4290]

Agreed to this as a fellow DJ ... good job you too

[@arlencarlson]

I agree. Especially when Penn starts singing about the arbitrary numeric mix of slow and club-banging songs.

[@mangot589]

Lol Endless Love was our dance song. (I can’t stand it now, it’s SO sappy lol) 40 years later, I guess it stuck😂 But I’m curious do they still do the chicken dance?

At my wedding my husband secretly ordered hors d'oeuvres to be passed around while we were taking pictures. He made one of the groomsman make me a plate and bring it to me so I could eat in between shots. If I had had any doubts about marrying him that made me sure I made the right decision.

As someone who works at a wedding venue and is occasionally "the girl with the food tray," I can attest to the truth of all of these. ❤️ So funny!

YOU need to remember to take every trip with a tray over to the bride and groom FIRST, then the wedding party members, then, and only then, make a sweep around the room to the invited people who stopped to get breakfast at ihop on their way to the wedding……

You have to do a full parody of the "food tray girl/Brown eyed girl" Song. that made me laugh out loud

[@HaleyMary]

That was their best one of all these wedding parody songs! They need to totally do a full version and a music video for it!

[@lf206]

Yes please!!!

[@irenafarm]

Also “Endless Hug” was so relatable. We had traveled back to my childhood home 3000 miles away for the wedding and I had NO FRICKIN’ IDEA who all these super affectionate people were….

[@chocolatelover9368]

These two are amazing. Penn's voice is top notch and I couldn't take my eyes of Kim and her funny moves

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Very funny! Brought me back to the days when I played weddings in a guitar and flute duo. Mostly we played mushy background music. At one reception the groom got drunk and kept yelling "Strike up the band!" He wanted to dance. Um, we can play a really lively version of "Ode to Joy" but I don't think that's what he wanted. When we were really bored, we played what we called "Blues Jam in E" where I'd simply play a blues riff on the guitar and the flute player would improvise. That was good for at least 20 minutes and no one ever knew it wasn't a real song. Then there were the times we'd get requests for songs we'd already done, sometimes only 10 minutes prior. People don't really listen to the music at a wedding. I should write a parody about that or Penn, maybe you could. If you need a killer version of "Ode to Joy" lemme know.

[@mindyflow3035]

🤣😂

[@LadyLovelyLox777]

Oh my gosh your wedding story is hilarious!!! At OURS the minister got up and announced to everyone that he’d fallen out of love with his wife 15-20 years ago. Can you say AWKWARD?!? He wasn’t invited to the reception 😂

[@rainzohav2181]

OMG

That story at the end was too funny. I can just see poor Penn with a shocked expression on his face, eyes all wide like "What is happening?!!", as she planted one on him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@patriciadurham643]

This is so darn funny but so true!!! My son’s friends got so drunk, one passed out at the table, one chased after my daughter even though he was engaged, one flirted with me, and one threw up on the bus taking us back to the hotel!!! 😂😂😂😂

Penn, you are a fantastic singer!

[@teresamcmurrin8672]

I have been to many weddings like this. Which is exactly why my guy & I made damn sure ours wasn't! Fortunately, it was a small wedding and all the guests knew me very well, so they weren't expecting anything approaching "normal"...For example, solved the bridesmaids' dresses problem by telling them to wear whatever they were comfortable in--two wore jeans. The reception ended with us all getting in a circle and singing & swaying along to "Give Peace a Chance". Not a fist fight in sight! 😊

[@jon4589]

I would take Brown Eyed Girl at any reception. I'm old enough to love Van Morrison. Great video. Yes, still married to my wife, and Brown Eyed Girl was played. And we danced to it.

That one about "bad decisions" would have made our wedding reception quite interesting...our reception place at a Methodist church.

[@karenogush5622]

That was just too funny! But honestly, our wedding was almost 30 years ago, so the only music I remember was our first dance song, the wedding entrance music, a polka for one of our older guests, and Hava Nagila (it was a Jewish wedding). Beyond that we told our very experienced DJ to just play a good variety of music for that time period (but please, no Chicken Dance). One of my favorite parts, though was when he played the Jaws theme music for the ritual cutting and feeding each other the wedding cake, which was absolutely hilarious!

[@serenafincel]

Your jingle is so catchy. My son thinks that I am so weird that I just keep going around the house singing your "Check out our merch" song. It got stuck in my head. I also love your ADHD T-shirt.

I bet that was absolutely hilarious LOL

[@The333]

This was awesome - If you guys do a part 2, there are probably a few songs you could parody about the craziness that ensues during the bouquet and garter toss (at my sister's wedding, the groomsmen literally stampeded an 80 year old relative with a cane in the battle for the garter).

[@dreicher]

OMG hilarious! See if anyone came in close to me, I would have been the person to boldly ask "who are you?". I find very few people have the courtesy to say their name when they are introduced without a name. I really wish they would say their name because the interaction becomes so awkward if they don't. Especially if the night goes on and you find yourself stuck in the company of this person again. I find it easier to ask so we get this whole thing over with. Not wanting to talk or ask something has gotten me into some situations where I ended up stuck in a vortex of way more interaction than I ever cared for. I totally relate to you Kim! You are both so talented! I am totally enjoying your channel (which I recently stumbled upon) and I have shared so many of your clips with family and friends.

[@tinydancer7426]

If no name is ever offered, just call them Stella or Stanley ...... and have fun with it and call the guy Stella and the woman Stanly.

In England it's not a good wedding unless theres a fist fight, at mine an aunty (her side) got drunk, the bar man refused to serve her, she got mouthy and punchy and the cops were called and she got arrested.

Yesterday was my anniversary with my hubby! 21 years!

[@rhondaflesher8313]

Not at a wedding, but at a family reunion - There use to be this elderly lady that was a friend of the family. She was close enough, long enough that she was considered "family" and invited to most family gatherings. My cousin and his family lived out of state and thus not as familiar with her as the rest of us here. At this one reunion she spotted my cousin who she hadn't seen for several years and excitedly came up to him and gave him a big hug and kiss. As stated earlier, he didn't remember her at all. So afterwards he came over to me, in a shocked daze, looked at me and asked "Who WAS that old lady that just slobbered all over me?"

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Totally awesome. Your groomsmen probably paid her to assault you in the line😂😂😂😂. Love the dress Kim and you got moves.🎉

Even though some things were completely inappropriate & I had to have someone get me 3 drinks during his speech (not even joking) it was a great speech! Nobody cared cuz he’s got one of those personalities that draws people in. He also caught the garter & my sister caught the bouquet. It was so funny. He had the everyone cracking up!
