  SPEAKER_00: So, if you had one of those days where nothing goes right, and it's always the worst, man, when those happen on the big days of life, you know?

  SPEAKER_00: Um when the days that you can't repeat or the days where you're the center of attention.

  SPEAKER_00: As you know, I've got streamlined events in entertainment.

  SPEAKER_00: And we do a lot of high-end weddings and corporate events, and by that we do the DJ, live music, lighting and sound production.

  SPEAKER_00: So I'm out there in that entertaining world.

  SPEAKER_00: I get to help them make memories that only happen once in a lifetime.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: And I get to be as the part of that and the center of that entertainment.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody remembers what they served at a wedding, but they all remember how that wedding made them feel.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: We've all been to weddings.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: Some weddings we go to and they're painful and they feel like, you know, 30 minutes feels like an eternity underwater.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: And then the other weddings we go to, they just seem to flow and the energy is up, and we leave there, and we're like, man, that wasn't so bad.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: That was actually kind of fun.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: You know, we've all had those experiences.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: Well, at Streamline, I get to help make those experiences, which is really cool.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: But this summer, a couple things happened at two different weddings.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to talk about them.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: And these are like the boom boom boom failures, uh, flops at weddings.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: The first one, it's not a me problem, it's a them problem.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: The first one.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: So we're at this wedding, right?
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: It's a great venue.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's beautiful.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: The ceremony is going to be out on this nice lawn.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lake, there's a swan that swims around this lake, and it kind of chills and hangs out.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: So, in the background, I want you to picture this.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: From where the guests are seating facing the altar, the altar is on this raised little platform.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Beyond that is a lake.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: In that lake is a swan.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: You're surrounded by flowers and trees.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's a beautiful sunny day, 100 degrees, 95 degrees.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's beautiful out on the lawn.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: The music is playing softly in the background.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody is sitting in their seats waiting for the wedding to start.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: And here comes the music turns up just a little bit, and here comes the officiant down, followed by the groom and the groom's parents.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: Then you have seven members of the wedding party.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the officiant this day is a longtime friend of the bride and groom who has never officiated a wedding before.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: And by trade, he's an engineer, which means he's an overanalyzer, a thinker, and uh a numbers, a math kind of guy, right?
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: We've we've met engineers, maybe we have, maybe we haven't, but the but you know, engineers rarely tell a good joke.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: So this uh everybody's coming down, and there's seven people, seven partners in the bridal party.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: They come to the front and they take their places, and then the officiant starts talking, and the music is still going.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: And the offician starts talking, and he says, You know, I just want to take a moment to tell you guys how I met, you know, Jim and Susan.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I had the pleasure of going to school with Jim for a decade, and we educated together and we taught.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: And during that time, he met Susan, and so and this speech is starting to sound like a best man speech.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, that's strange.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: So he keeps talking 10 minutes, and I'm like, well, this must be part of the gig.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: And then he says, and at this time, Jim and Susan would love to exchange rings and exchange vows to uh bring their marriage, you know, to holy vows in front of you, or whatever he said.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: And there was no Susan, she wasn't out there.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: He forgot to bring the bride in.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: So the groom leans over and he's like, Hey, you gotta bring my wife in.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: And he's like, What?
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, The groom's like, You gotta get my wife, and they're all mic'd up, so we can hear this whole thing back and forth, this conversation.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody can hear it, and it's awkward.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'm like, okay, we just got to so I just play the bridal march, and then it that's his clue that he missed something, and everybody stands up and the bride comes in.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: She immediately comes in, goes right into vows, right into ring exchanges, and done.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: The ceremony was 25 minutes long, and she was up there for about 10 minutes of it.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: How sucky to miss your wedding because the officiant forgot to bring you in.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: And then at the end he comes up to me and says, Do you think anybody noticed?
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, No, man, you're good, dude.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody noticed.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: It was high fiving, you know.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to tell him that it sucked, but anyway, that was a day where nothing went right for that bride until the after party, and then we kicked it.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: So then the other one, I've got another wedding that I'm doing, and uh, this one is a wedding that I'm helping some friends out with.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: And at last minute, their DJ canceled, so they're like, hey, can you help?
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, Absolutely.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: So I pack up and I go out there and I'm gonna do this wedding.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: And uh that morning in the shower, I'm in a hurry and I'm shaving my head.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I use the Harry's razor, and the Harry's razor has a straight edge on the back of it, and it's not like I'm using some dude named Harry's razor, it's the brand.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: And it's got the straight edge on the back for fine-tuning and like trimming of hair.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm shaving, and when I do, I don't lift the razor off my head enough and it scrapes down my head, but we're not talking just like a little scrape.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: We're talking like a two and a half inch gash, and it's like stuttered.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's like imagine taking windshield wipers on a dry windshield and they kind of bounce across the windshield.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: That's exactly what happened on my head.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: And immediately blood is pouring down the front of my face.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I've got a wedding to go and do in an hour.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna be the center of attention.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna be on the dance floor talking to all the guests.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: Head wounds don't stop bleeding easily.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm bleeding in the shower like a stuck pig.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: I get out, I try to clean it up, I stick toilet paper to it, and it just won't stop bleeding.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: So I get dressed, go to the wedding, set up the wedding, I'm sweating, blood pressure's up, and uh, I'm bleeding like a sieve.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: I put a hat on to kind of hold the paper in place as you know, direct pressure.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: I take the hat off, take the paper off as I'm changing into my suit.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: Blood is flowing.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, holy crap, so I have to go out there and I can't put a band-aid on it because that looks horrible.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm out there doing this wedding, emceeing, introducing people, center of attention for a few moments, and I've just got blood pouring down my face.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, I keep dabbing it off, keep dabbing it, and what a what a goat rope it was.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Um, that's a day where it was my bad.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: So, two weddings, two experiences.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't trade either one of them, but uh that's what I get to do.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: I get to be a part of people's best days, and that to me is a blessing.
• 6:55
