I had to flip back a page to figure out what the hell this meant. Not sure how I didn't catch that typo.

I've been to about 15 weddings, and if someone picks out a decent mix of the typical/in season wedding songs, playlists are just as good as DJs (assuming you have the PA and a mic so you can use to toast, tell people to gather around the cake, etc.). That is, after all, all they do. They click on a song on their laptop, put their earphones on, and try to look cool for the bridesmaids.

The bridezillas are usually bitches in the first place, and the weddings are just where they show it to everyone else / act as usual. My wife was a detail oriented perfectionist on our wedding which made us late to everything and she was stressed out because she wanted everything just so, but thats normal for her.
They don't act differently for the wedding. This is normal. If you don't like it, bail now.

A lot of women wait until after the wedding to show their total psycho-bitch sides.

Maybe if they you're 18 and just too blinded by the fact that you're getting laid to see it... or if you are stupid enough to chance marrying a woman you've never lived with.
That shit literally doesn't happen, like ever. Women aren't some masterfully devious species able to hide who they really are for years at a time until they get a ring.

Whether the woman changes, is disappointed in the marriage or purposefully puts on a show until she gets married doesn't really matter. Both men and women commonly find the person they married isn't the person they're married to.

In my opinion, most of that blame lies on the person who *thinks* the other person changed, and not the person who supposedly did. I just don't think it's possible for someone to change so completely after several years of being someone else (in most cases, anyways). But I do think it's possible for someone to deceive themselves in to thinking that the person they are with isn't what they truly are. If that makes any sense.

They commonly find they fall out of love or stop caring about the person they are married to. They don't commonly find that a woman makes a gigantic 180 and is all of a sudden turbo bitch just because she got married and for no other reason.

I'm not sure what this wedding "MC" thing is, is that a job you give your best man or some Canadian wedding thing or something? Never been to a wedding where someone other than the DJ was MC'ing. Regardless, I wouldn't have trusted any of my drunk and horny friends to do that job, seems like a recipe for disaster.

At the majority weddings I've been to there has been an MC. Not the best man, but often one of the groomsmen, but not necessarily anyone in the wedding party. They do all the announcements about speeches, dances, toasts and the like that you spoke of and just generally keep things rolling along. You know, like a Master of Ceremonies is supposed to do.
edit: just google "MC wedding" and there's a shit ton of guides and how-to's on it, so it's definitely not uncommon. Maybe it's less common these days or something, I don't know. I'd rather someone I know and who knows the couple and guests was the one doing that type of thing than a DJ that you hardly know from Adam. And everyone's got a friend or relative that makes for a great MC, whether because he's actually good at it or because he bombs so spectacularly that it's hilarious.

My wife is the same way. At the rehearsal dinner she handed everyone in the wedding (plus the photographer and DJ and wedding person at the hotel) a 4 page itinerary that basically broke everything down for the day of in 15 or 30 minute increments. We all laughed and made fun of her but by the end of the night all the professionals we hired told us they have never been to a wedding that went smoother and it was all because of the itinerary.

Yeah I had a wedding MC too who was a friend of mine that I paid $50 to. Paying more than $500 for a DJ blows my mind. All you need is a mic, a laptop and a speaker system.

That lady is nobody's grandma. That is some fat slag beast that came to eat and then photobomb every single picture taken of us.
