Well at least your accompanist could play what music she had. I had been
asked to sing in my cousins wedding last June and the guitarist/DJ was going
to accompany me. Well the day of the wedding I showed up early to practice
and he basically had me help HIM setup his stuff. He had told me that he
had not been practicing my music, but that he would follow me and "wing-it".
I should have decided right then and there to do the song a cappella but I
kept thinking about how beautiful the song was with the accompaniment. I
had also gone through this situation before, and had come through with
flying colors.
Well, it was horrible. He was horrible!! I felt horrible!!! I had to just
make him quit playing. He was not following me a bit, so I skipped to the
end of the song and walked over to him and had him stop.
They say that there is always at least one thing that goes wrong on the
wedding day, and so I am glad for my cousin that it was me and not any other
part of the wedding or the reception. It ended up being a very sweet
ceremony outside with butterflies flying by the happy couple as they
declared their vows for each other.
