Happy Mothers Day; a special reflection from one Wedding DJ who meets a lot of moms!
Posted by Jason | Filed under Wedding DJ Advice
I am not a mom…I’m a Wedding DJ in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. I love my job and my company! You know that much about me if you’ve been coming here to read our blogs for a little while. I also love my mother, and I wanted to write something about mom’s on this Mothers Day Weekend, because I get to see a lot of moms in my line of work. There are usually 6 very important people that I deal with week in and week out. Of course, there’s the Bride and Groom, and the Bride’s Father, and the Groom’s father…but then, there are the moms! Mother’s are often the most proud people on earth on a wedding day. Even the moms that are simply in attendance are proud, ever thinking of the day their child or children will say “I do.” My poor mother sits 2700 miles away in Florida, reading my posts about another wedding I’m DJing this weekend on Facebook, week after week, and I can only imagine that she keeps hoping one of those posts will include me as the Groom and not the DJ! Well, truthfully, I hope the same thing, but it’s just not in cards for the immediate future I suppose. In the meantime though, I do want to say a personal thank you to my mom for all of her support for me, her guidance of me growing up in North Carolina to become a well spoken, well dressed, smart, southern gentleman with a savvy city-boy sense of humor and taste. My mom never allowed me to accept failure or anything less than what I knew I could achieve. It’s been her drive and determination to see me succeed that has carried me to the highs of success as a business owner and in my performing career. I am perhaps the most confident performer and businessman I know, and I owe that confidence to my mother’s belief in me and her ability to trust me with “grown up” tasks beginning at a very early age.
I’ve also been lucky to have other women in my life who were very much like a mother to me, and I speak for all the people who’ve had similar women in their lives when I say “thank you so much for all of your love and support.”
Mom’s are pretty awesome aren’t they? Wedding DJs get to stand back and watch mothers having the time of their lives dancing with their son for the Groom and Mother dance, or mothers who hold back the tears as their daughter dances with dad one “last time”. All of these wonderful mothers are such a special part of the Wedding Day festivities… well, all accept for the Momzilla’s that come along every so often and try to ruin a Bride and Groom’s special day, but I’m quick to remind them that this is their daughter’s big day and not their own. Mom’s are emotional and sentimental, sometimes high strung and very protective, but they’re also extremely strong and loving and it’s an honor to work with so many wonderful mothers of Brides and Grooms each and every week. And let’s not forget all of those Brides who I have watched walk down the aisle or as they smiled and melted into the eyes of the groom during their very first dance with their new husband, those many many young women who are now also Mothers themselves. I love each and every one of my clients and I honestly love to keep up with them on facebook or other social media sites, just to see how their marriages and their families are growing in all that love that surrounded them on their Wedding Day. I’m no fool, I know that marriage and family isn’t perfect, but I can tell you one thing, in this line of work, it’s hard to focus on the negatives and dysfunctions of family, even the negatives in my own family, when week after week I get the chance to work with people on their happiest day.
This Sunday is Mother’s Day. Whether you are a Bride’s Mom, a Groom’s Mom, a New Mom or Not a mom, Go tell Your Mom how much she means to you, how much you love her and how much you care…you can be sure of one thing, she’s always thinking the same about you.
Happy Mother’s Day!
