that is what i am stuck in.

An update was promised and i wasnt going to update until we had done it.

Tonight was the final practice at the venue. Hideous doesnt cover it. It was made worse by people wondering about the venue checking it out and sound and light men etc.... all standing and watching.

THEN the wedding planner woman just oh so causally asked if it was still ok fdor her to film it, post it on you tube and link it to the website.

MOther had lied and said this wasnt going to happen.

So, not only will we be embarassed in front of the whole wedding party, but also the rest of the world

fucking great mother.....

GGGGGRRRRR

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 07/05/2010 14:22

A spangly glove.
A fedora (I have one you can borrow)
Half-Mast trousers

weblette · 07/05/2010 14:23

There's no way you could get an MJ wig as well is there....?

But yes, deffo glove! Sparklier the better... Claires might be the emporium of choice

ProfessorLaytonIsMyProxyVoter · 07/05/2010 14:25

You know those dreams that seem incredibly real at the time, where you are doing something very stupid and very embarassing? Any chance you could be having one of those?

Of course, that would make me a character in your dream and if so your subconscious has filled in an extremely complex back story for me...

stealthsquiggle · 07/05/2010 14:25

I see I have been beaten to it, but I was going to suggest bribing someone to put a cast on an ankle.

You have to go for it now, out of solidarity. Focus must shift to controlling the distribution of any resulting video and making sure MNers get to see it.

...and plotting revenge on wedding planner.

PMSL

Sorry if this has already been mentioned (haven't read whole thread) but one of the guys from E17 and his wife did the Thriller dance as their wedding dance on one of those wedding reality shows (cannot recall name) recently.

It was cringe.

stealthsquiggle · 07/05/2010 14:27

glove - £2.99.

schmontilidrop · 07/05/2010 14:27

ive not got time to go into town. the pre wedding meal thing starts at 4.

shame

have made emergenacy call to sister who is in town, but shes not answering

schmon

ProfessorLaytonIsMyProxyVoter · 07/05/2010 14:27

Could you bribe the DJ to segue into the Chicken Song instead of Thriller?

Otherwise, I like MinnieMummy's idea -- shop the YouTube video to the MJ estate and get it taken down after all of us on MN have had a good nose.

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 07/05/2010 14:29

Actually, you need a red leather outfit, short leather jacket and half-mast red leather trews IIRC?

You're being terribly good-natured about all this.

The venue cannot put it online without your permission.

Well in reality they can, if you let them, but legally they don't have the right if you don't want them too.

You said they want to use it for a viral - I bet they do! You need to stop this!

If you mum doesn't know much about the internet, surely the most important thing for her is that you actually do the dance on the day.

If it was me I would contact the venue direct, tell them in no uncertain terms that there is no way you give permission for this to go on the internet. Speak to whoever is filming it and insist you get the copy given to you. Remind them that without your permission it's not legal for them to distribute it.

Then, arrange for a special day to watch the film with all of your mums mates. It will be embarrassing sure, but infinitely better than being on the internet.

Seriously, you still have time to stop this happening you need to act now!

schmontilidrop · 07/05/2010 14:31

sod the glove i want this www.party-warehouse.co.uk/2005_shop/product_enlarge.asp?productID=714&categoryID=360

it is a bit like one of those dreams, except its bloody real

!!!!!!

i think we all had kind of got used to practicing and were not that bothered. but doing it at the venue last night, and actaul real people saw kind of brough it back to reality.

then the whole mentioning of the you tube thing.

tehres going to be about 250 people tomorrow night.

actually broken leg is looking more and more like the best option.

stealthsquiggle · 07/05/2010 14:31

Your sister is not in town - she is in the local hospital swapping hard cash for an ankle cast [suspicious]

OnlyWantsOne · 07/05/2010 14:32

is yourt DD going to see this?

hahahaha Can I come watch - im in town tomorrow

lowrib · 07/05/2010 14:33

Failing that DP says you can contact youtube and get your face pixelated. I don't know anyone who's done this so although it's worth a go I wouldn't rely in it.

Also, I would get a mask. Be firm. You mum can have your face in it, or it can go on the internet, not both!

schmontilidrop · 07/05/2010 14:34

hahahaha- she might be.

she had better not be

bitch

lol

found out it is almost being filmed by mums friends husband.

and i bet people will get out thier phones as well.

dear lord

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 07/05/2010 14:35

NormalityBites · 07/05/2010 14:39

cumbria81 · 07/05/2010 14:48

oh dear god

OnlyWantsOne · 07/05/2010 14:54

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahah I think its hilarious, is Xdp picking her up?

He won't stay around to watch will he, lol

schmontilidrop · 07/05/2010 14:57

yes he is.

he does not know. i have not told him

if i had still been with him he would have had to do it too... which is a very funny thought.

OnlyWantsOne · 07/05/2010 14:58
