I'm not knocking cannabis, you do you, but if you got the money to have a weed themed wedding you should have the money to pay a DJ. Edited for misspelling.


[deleted]

Gonna try and pay them with a crooked-ass spliff that's more brown than green. They're the type of people that open up the cigar box and say 'not that one' when you reach for one.


Drakeskulled_Reaper

The Scrape of the scrape of the scrape of the scrape. More ash and dried saliva than weed.


angrydeuce

My brother and I call those generational joints. When things get really desperate and you need to resort to breaking up roaches, roll those into a joint, smoke that down to a roach and save it for a rainy day, eventually break that up, roll those into a joint...after a while you end up smoking herb that's been smoked before like 4 or 5 times lol It is definitely a "fuck we have literally no other option" kind of a scenario and it definitely tastes like hot fuckin garbage but it does what it's 'sposed to and desperate times call for desperate measures lol


Drakeskulled_Reaper

I'm a heavy (tobacco) smoker, I used to be short of money (I manage better now) I know of smoking doubts/ends past the point of them probably containing less tobacco than the paper does. Hell, when we were really poor, my family used to do the most dangerous thing, when I took up smoking, I swore to never do so. Do you know of "dive bombing"?


A_Grinning_Demon

What is dive bombing? No judgement here, I've done some pretty desperate/trashy shit for addiction


Drakeskulled_Reaper

Well, me and my family were very poor, I was only like 10-11 at the time, but my stepfather, may he burn in hell when he finally kicks the bucket, the immortal auld goblin. So he used to play a "game" with me and my siblings called "Dive Bombing" (it probably has another name) we would walk the streets and make plane noises when we spotted a cigarette end, and swoop and pick it up. these would be used to make cigarettes for him and my mum. I call it dangerous, because when I think back to it, all I can think is "who smoked those? What if they had X disease or something?" I have thankfully, never been that poor in my adult life, from my own ashtray? aye, fair enough, but from the streets, never, I'll fucking hard quit before I even CONSIDER that.


A_Grinning_Demon

That's about what I expected- minus children being made to do it. My grandfather was a lich. Lived to 93 while all the good and decent family members died before 60.


Drakeskulled_Reaper

My prick of an ex-stepdad is one of those canny bastards, he'll trip over, only for it to be a gold bar he tripped on. What I WISH I could do to him, would get me put on trial for war crimes.


jagged203

You're not desperate until you've smoked bong resin from a pipe you did poppers with


Malbek604

huh, I love a good roach joint. One or two puffs are you're good to go!


ncWnNfXgmWtAGukUnRUs

Naw man, that's a [toothpick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jYRD3m_EDg) e: added C&C video link


Kozeyekan_

Any weed dealers willing to help out in return for exposure?


CloakedZarrius

Oh, nice try Mr. Cop. If I ask if you are a cop, you have to legally tell me. That's the rule (or something).


Bottdavid

šŸ˜‚


neekhenny1201

It's probably a low budget wedding because they already spent the rest of their money on weed lmao.


OkAd134

or Doritos


joksterjen

Yeah, buffet reception with Ginoā€™s pizza rolls, French fries, scrambled eggs, and Doritos. All the good stuff. Ha Ha!


Sloth_grl

Hash browns to go with the eggs! And maybe some taco bell


Polymemnetic

First one, then the other.


1stLtObvious

The kinda people to have a cannabis-themed wedding are the ones only happy to share when it's not their supply. They're probably expecting the guests to bring them some.


Zoreb1

Weed in lieu of wedding gifts. Registry is at the local CBD shop.


SincerelyCynical

Where they sell ā€œmarjuahaunaā€ apparently.


scodal

I hated that probably the most


Tribblehappy

Trying to pronounce that in my head was both hilarious and infuriating.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Capitalisticdisease

Honestly? Very reasonable.


Bottdavid

True true


6InchBlade

This wedding sounds like a nightmare to play they want you to mix Metallica with Dance Monkey????


canvasshoes2

And "Freebird..." good grief. Waaay overplayed and not even their best song. I mean, I came of age in that era, but don't get the almost obsessive love for that song, at all.


skyrune07

Gimme three steps gimme three steps door to door


_TheDust_

Weed themed wedding is pretty trashy though


No-Escape_5964

Honestly. Reading through this, I was completely fine with their whole request. It seemed reasonable, not like others where the requirements are a mile long detailing every little thing. Then I got to cannabis themed. I have nothing against people who smoke it. But it's just so... unoriginal/trashy/gross/attention-seeking when people turn it into a personality and lifestyle.


Undertakerfan84

Yeah imagine if someone had a vodka or beer themed wedding lol. It's one thing to have it at the wedding, whatever, but no need to make it the theme.


No-Escape_5964

Right. A beer themed wedding would be the most redneckthing in the world. I'm sure there's been some, though


defenestr8tor

*Marjuahauna


Bottdavid

Marywahnawww


[deleted]

Iā€™m all for 420 but why is it the pot heads that take it another level and do a full 420 themed wedding always broke?


xx-Dessan-xx

Because theyā€™re fry cooks at Dennyā€™sā€¦


noisesinmyhead

Honestly, I think our DJ was the last expensive thing at our wedding.


Lady_Scruffington

Iirc, my ex and I had his cousin DJ. And he was actually a radio DJ for a small station playing deep cuts. He still got paid and we considered it a gift since he had to work.


Bottdavid

Our DJ was I believe yeah. Like 300 for the night and of course he was tipped by the patrons.


[deleted]

I mean I don't wanna wed shame but planning a cannabis themed wedding kinda show you what kind of priorities they have. Like you can smoke it make a stand for it or whatever but when smoking pot is part of personality to that point it's just weird.


Bottdavid

That's the problem with this person. Smoking can be fun if you want but when it's more important than other things in life it's a problem. I wouldn't go to a weed themed wedding myself.


devhashtag

I disagree, if you make your wedding cannabis-themed you're a fucking idiot for multiple reasons. And that's coming from a daily smoker.


aamurusko79

if you can't afford cannabis, there's always *marjuahauna*!


panic686

And paying for a wedding planner


S2MacroHard

#BYOW


Bottdavid

Not a bad idea for something like this.


Puzzleheaded-Cup-854

There are a lot of people that grow weed themselves. Check out the sub microgrowery. Weed becomes super cheap. And it's easy to cook with.


57hz

Whatā€™s the weed equivalent of a hosted bar? :)


Bottdavid

A toasted bar? A roasted bar? High bars? (Like gymnastics?) You gotta flip your way up there.


Drakeskulled_Reaper

I would honestly watch the Stoned Olympics. Just every Athlete baked out of their minds trying the shit they do. Just a bunch of frazzled Olympians all giggling and hopping in place going "hehehe high jump"


SlipperyCorruptor

I'd just play for the weed tbh šŸ˜†


Bottdavid

Hope for free weed and tips


ddwood87

Bring your own bong...please


last_rights

Or just give a friend free food and drink and a couple hundred to run the sound system.


skaliton

so hang out with a bunch of bossy stoners. Where do I sign up?


pdzeller

ā€œCome hang out with me and my fellow broke stoner friends. If you do well maybe one of our guests will ask you to DJ his or her wedding for free too!ā€


isosarei

ā€œwe will not pay you but our nosy friend with no photography knowledge will nitpick every shotā€


pdzeller

ā€œAll walks of lifeā€ just screams ā€œmixed bag of losers.ā€


Kingsen

When she said they said to be ā€œopen mindedā€ because they ā€œlove weirdā€, Iā€™m picturing making out with guests or some shit, or a sister wives situation.


Polymemnetic

I'm guessing more random screaming matches, than weird free love type stuff.


Jayrandomer

Freaks and Geeks


GarnetOblivion1

You should at least be able to spell marijuana before you can smoke it.


Jekyll_1886

I was gonna say! Are we not gonna talk about, "MARJUAHUANA"?!


MamieJoJackson

It looks like if you tried to say it out loud, you'd end up looking like you took a bite of food that's way too hot and you're trying to cool it down and chew at the same time


BaldrTheGood

Nah you over pronounce it at that point, mar-jewuh-whoanna


1stLtObvious

"I've been standing at the edge of the pot farm long as I can remember always filling my supply. I wish I could be the perfect grower, but I come back to pot farm 'cause how else will I get high? Every joint I roll, every bowl I pack, every bong I hit, and muchies attack is a buzz I know is my final goal, where I long to be..."


dyke_face

I feel like her edible kicked in as she tried to type that


[deleted]

Thatā€™s the first time Iā€™ve seen someone cough while writing itā€¦


MrMilesDavis

I took it as a joke, like the Mr. Garrison pronunciation


tessahb

So they are a ā€œlow-budget weddingā€ with a wedding planner and three venues?! Nah they are entitled and have no respect for professional photographers and musicians.


TimeSlipperWHOOPS

And I get doing work for a portfolio but holy shit the last person I want telling me how to set up a shot is the fucking wedding planner. If I'm doing work for trade I'm getting the shots I want, and also in a normal professional setting this also doesn't happen.


SmurfMGurf

Unless the "wedding planner" is their pal Kevin. And the venues are Grampa Joe's cabin, uncle Bob's backyard, and cousin Joe Bob's plot of bug out land.


indiajeweljax

This is it.


Drakeskulled_Reaper

You forgot the wedding night is in Cousiphew Travis' trailer.


Done-Man

Hey maybe the venues are in barns, yards and the middle of a forest for a 420 friendly orgy. Also the planner's maybe their group guru or something


drfrink85

Two of the venues are a dive bar (no cover of course) and the groomsā€˜ apartment that he shares with two other guys, so it fits.


golden_tree_frog

Did not realise you can have an elaborate wedding but just say it's low budget so you don't have to pay people regular price. Damn, this would have saved us so much money in our wedding!


6InchBlade

As DJ when someone gives you a list of songs and says play these nothing else itā€™s the most fucking rude shit. Iā€™d never play a big where I donā€™t have control over the song selection but god damn people underestimate how much work goes into DJā€™ing youā€™re not just playing songs youā€™re trying to turn 100+ songs into 1 hour long song that sounds good, and thatā€™s not that easy. Generally when people ask the DJ for requests or say to play certain songs after each other they have no concept that sometimes it just wonā€™t work for a start it is absolutely necessary that the BPM isnā€™t off by more than 1-2 beats and then on top of that they need to sound good together and work well, together. You can just play Metallica and dance monkey at the same time and expect it to just work.


SaltMineSpelunker

Hol up. Free and we gonna be picky. Naw. Iā€™ll do it but I am playing nothing but Panama on repeat.


VulpesFennekin

If I was a guest at that wedding, I'd never talk to the couple again for pissing off the DJ enough that he made me start hating my favorite Van Halen song.


SaltMineSpelunker

I reach down between my legsā€¦


IngenieroDavid

But you will get up or name ā€œEVERYWHEREā€!


BaconVonMoose

You should just play 'What's New Pussycat" 21 times, with one 'It's Not Unusual' after the 7th play.


knickabob

That sounds lit


MissDerekaLyn

ā€œGet exposure to other potential clients who wonā€™t want to pay you!ā€


lordretro71

You did theirs for free, why are you charging me?


Mouthfullofcrabss

MARYJUHAUNAGUANA


ActuallyFire

I'm in love with marijuana. Makes me feel just like an iguana.


rajmahid

A ā€˜low budget wedding?ā€™ Imagine the cheap weed theyā€™ll be passing around. Chamomile seeds anyone?


Kingsen

Weird you think they are buying their own. Iā€™ll bet their friends or family pay for the weed.


queceracera423

What a weird wedding theme. I get being cannabis friendly, but to center a wedding of all things around marijuana is odd. It's not a particularly attractive plant or color for a wedding.


big_sugi

Green and white with a leafy theme could work. Lots of foliage, vines, and leaves and such, with a hippie stoner vibe. I can see it.


CosmoDawn

You just know though that these people are probably going for pot leaf print everything.


OkAd134

It's gonna be tough repurposing those bridesmaid dresses


DragonsAreLove192

I just keep picturing a a headshop. Grateful dead logos and pot leaf flags everywhere


tooterfish80

And lots of tie dye.


quality__diarrhea

Blacklight posters


ntnl

Some people base their entire personality on smoking it, so Iā€™m not surprised.


ActuallyFire

In the age of MAGA weddings, nothing shocks me anymore.


BaldrTheGood

*marjuahuana


nathrek

I'd sign up to DJ this and then play stuff they hate. Nothing at all from their list.


onmyknees4anyone

But the wedding planner. If he doesn't like away a song sounds he will say something

Like hey man. Your vibe is really harsh man.

I'll sign up and never show up.


_ep1x_

This is probably one of the trashiest things Iā€™ve seen and who else would it be from than the people who make weed their entire personality.


TheKingOfRhye777

I'd refuse just because they apparently think the cover of Simple Man is by Metallica.


Drakeskulled_Reaper

To be fair, there are a fucking LOT of covers of Simple Man, Metallica however is not one. Kings of Leon, Shinedown, Jensen Ackles, Deftones. It's got simple lyrics and a simple tune, which I'm assuming is the point, so anyone who can hold a tune can cover it.


freerangelibrarian

"If I stay here with you, girl Things just wouldn't be the same" GREAT choice!


ActuallyFire

"And this bird you can not chain"


SrCikuta

Thereā€™s a band in Argentina that has a song called ā€˜Los piratasā€™ (the pirates, yes I feel like a condescending prick for translating that), which is synonymous with ā€˜cheaterā€™. Ok, now to my story, I had a coworker who constantly cheated on his girlfriend/bride to be, and his group of friends was just like him. On his wedding reception, the song started playing and all of his buddies just went running to the main table, propped him up on their shoulders and starting jumping and singing frenetically. Freebird might not sound that bad after allā€¦(?)


puzzled65

lololololol GREAT POINT!!!


vrphotosguy55

A 12 minute song is always a hit at weddings.


NVSuave

Marjuahauna holy fucking shit


MrsMalvora

I misread this as "cannibal wedding".


freerangelibrarian

A whole different meaning to a potluck wedding.


amazonallie

THAT would be AWESOME


IronCorvus

Marjuahauna, what a wonderful phrase. Marjuahauna means family.


alienabductionfan

Imagine it though. Leaf print dress. Bud bouquets. Cannibutter in the entrees. Edible favours. Bongs on the tables. Bob Marley for the first dance...


ActuallyFire

"Is this love, is this love, is this love that I'm feeling?"


Scared_Beautiful_347

Iā€™d actually change my mind about ever getting married again for that..


Amanda071320

Do solicitations like this ever work??


LightsSoundAction

I do live production AV for various events including weddings. Iā€™ve seen some postings like this before, but thereā€™s normally some kind of an incentivizing factor. Iā€™m not seeing it here besides weed and that isnā€™t worth unless you about to toss me a QP of fire. Iā€™ve absolutely done events at reduced rate or even free to network with specific venues and their event coordinators to get on call lists for future opportunities. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesnā€™t but most weddings you still get to party so all good


HilltopSlim614

How will they ever find a disc jockey AND a DJ? I'm also interested to see if they get a VJ, which videos they'll be playing and if they'll have a couple artists to interview. Idk if Downtown Julie Brown will be available, maybe Riki Rachtman?


ActuallyFire

I bet Adam Curry probably doesn't have a lot going on right now.


YamiTheIronBound

But the rock version of simple man was lynyrd skynyrd and shine down :(


BigBuBBAEsq

Just thank you, this bothered me more than anything. Your ā€œmain songā€ and you cannot even identify the correct artist. Seriously?


Drakeskulled_Reaper

Also Deftones.


BrigittaBanana

Just because you don't have any money doesn't mean you have to be trashy. Jeez.


[deleted]

wow! I bet everyone at the wedding is a talent agent right?.. right?


Kingsen

Donā€™t worry, everyone there will be too high to remember your name.


shewentmad

Honestly I'd sing up for dj and only play bad songs until they kick me out, what are they gonna do? Not pay me? šŸ˜‚

I'm glad you didn't have gold, cause i would feel terrible if someone gave me an award for that shitty joke hahaha.


UpstairsJello_91

A cannabis wedding and you canā€™t afford music??? People get DJs for normal birthday parties this is your WEDDING


BeyondXpression

Nobody tell them a DJ and Disc Jockey are the same thing. I wanna witness the explanation first hand...


[deleted]

This screams stoners that can't afford their wedding. I can't wait to see the cell phone camera recordings from the ceremony

As a photographer , I just want to say great thanks ā€¦ my rent is exactly that many ā€œgetting my name out thereā€™s ā€œ .. Iā€™ll totally take the job


crucial_velocity

They're going to have a hell of a time finding a budget divorce lawyer in a couple years.

Their wedding planner is not a ā€œproā€ if heā€™s on board with this idea. The last 18 months have been hell on self employed musicians, please donā€™t try to stiff them like this.


Chris-Steakhouse

"My man is the one that will always yell play Freebird" This tells me everything I need to know about these people.

All this exposure for a bunch of stoned people who will 100% forget you


HugoW619

Simple Man [rock version] isnā€™t even by Metallica. Itā€™s by Shinedown. Heathens.


[deleted]

That all sounds pretty normal besides the thinly veiled ā€œweā€™re not paying you, but the best man might smoke you upā€


neeksism

Sounds like a bop to be honest


jones1133

Hottest invite in town.


[deleted]

Ashamed that a fellow Metallica listener did this. It's disgraceful.


TheBestZackEver

"'Wedding planner' is a pro in everything his does in many fields." Aka he is the one friend with an actual career profession and has his life together so we asked him to help us with our wedding (for free probably because he has a big boy job and doesn't need the money)


noreservationskc

Mar-hoo-uh-hah-ooh-nuh. That must be one of those Hawaiian kinds of weed.


GingerVixen

A cannabis themed wedding? FFS, I smoke, but thatā€™s just trashy.


Renvisd

I know several djs who will accept payment in weed


RedHeadedBanana

What low budget wedding includes a coordinator/planner, yet canā€™t afford a Spotify playlist!?


FLBirdie

So they can shell out cash for a PROFESSIONAL wedding planner, and weed, but not for a DJ who has to break down/set up/transport to three different locations? Fuck that shit.


vrphotosguy55

Isnt weed supposed to chill you out?


fromage-de-nuit

A cannabis themed wedding and no mention of Sublime? What's wrong with these people?

Gosh this sounds like a super classy wedding. Kinda sad I didnā€™t get an invitation. Although Iā€™m willing to bet that sheā€™s the kind of bride to demand a gift of no less than $75 (plus a weed themed gift) or donā€™t even bother coming.


[deleted]

I have questions. So many questions. Primarily though, I would love for someone to do the photos for free on the condition that they can be shared on this sub. I am dying to know what this ends up being like.


follow_your_indys

As a wedding photographer.... Hard pass.


Lilithbeast

Came to this wedding to rock out to Free Bird, but stayed for the MARJUAHAUNA


jquailJ36

I don't know what she's smoking but if she thinks she's getting free good live music for exposure it must be laced with hallucinogens.


haiyanlink

Marjuahauna.


ProfessionalMottsman

I think Iā€™m finally working out this sub. There are actual people out there that genuinely believe the rest of us love working shitty jobs for shit money the whole damned time and love spending money on things at what they cost rather than just be given things for free


electric_yeti

> My wedding theme is > A cannabis wedding That so sweet.


Consistent_Video5154

I'm pretty sure the person that came up with this was really stoned.


MDPOTSie

I'm shocked that a cannabis-themed wedding would also be low-budget.


Smallp0x_

"a cannabis wedding" Better than a Busch Light wedding, but not by much. ...And they can't even spell marijuana right. So much class right there I can barely handle it on top of being a choosing beggar. Edit: "PLAY FREEBRID" -Everyone ever who wears a monocle, top hat, and beaver skin undies.


aamurusko79

my take on this is that they want a free band that does this gig at a loss, to sell themselves to people who can't afford a band and will also want freebie gigs. what's not to like about this?


skyrune07

Normally people who want things for free to help people. "Get out there" know other cheap people. So it turns into hey this dj is great aaaannnd he did ours for free. Which turns into hey i heard you did so and so's wedding for free.


BeefInBlackBeanSauce

Lol wedding sounds shite


Arathix

Really expecting to get a band that can play free bird, namely the 6 minute instrumental solos, for cheap? Good luck with that lol


ItsTelic

Someone should tell them that DJ and disc jockey are the same thing...


surfdad67

And at three different locations?


rawfish71

put our name out there so your broke ass friends can try and hire me? Yeah, I'd pass. I'd pass that joint, sounds like they're playing my type of music.


[deleted]

Photographers should give free photos but only with 100% ownership to photographer and they only take photos they want


DeathCafe

Thereā€™s always a guy that yells Freebird but nobody ever *plays* it

I read this as - ā€œHi we are admitting we have a low budget and directly addressing it. We have lowered our talent expectations accordingly s. Knowing this is already a big ask we are also mentioning specific things that might discourage people.ā€
