Whatsamatta Lav?

Today's wedding went ok. There were a couple hitches (pun?) but the happy couple were married and all is well.

Nobody remembered to go tell the preacher that they were ready. He's happily reading scriptures in the Green Room while everyone else is precessing down the aisle... Bride and groom were waiting while the harpist played the same song over and over.(!)

They went without a microphone at the last minute. They thought they would be using the harpist's PA system but she refused to let them plug their wireless receivers into the mixer/amp. Apparently at some point in the past somebody plugged their wireless lav mic into her gear and something bad happened to her amp. She was totally fine with them plugging a handheld wireless mic into her gear, even if it was the same receiver... She had some sort of little powered mixer & speaker combo that would certainly have worked just fine with the Shure econo-wireless mics but I made the decision that it was just easier to let it go. I offered to hook them up with some of our gear. Heck, I offered them a handheld WIRED mic and stand. They declined. I guess it went ok. Like I said, they got married. They're happy as clams up there in the In Zone at the reception.
