Back to my normal work of DJ'ng at weddings, now I had to arrive at the venue quite early, as a friend of the bride was going to sing a few songs in the evening, and we wanted a quick sound check, just to make sure that everything was fine for him, which of course we did, then it was home for a bit of a rest (well I needed it after the busy week I'd had) and watch a bit of TV, and listen to Southend United commentary on the radio.

I arrived back at the venue at about 6.40pm, and switched everything on had a brief discussion with the bride & groom about the times of the first dance, cake cutting etc, and then spoke to David who was going to sing, to sort out his times and then we were off.
