what's up guys? Dj esg, honest wedding advice. Season number 12 or 13 one of those two seasons I forget. I'll figure it out in a minute. But today I'm talking about ceremonies inside when it's cold out.
Speaker 0:And this past weekend I had two ceremonies. One was outside it was fucking fridge and the bride and groom you could tell throughout the entire ceremony were like yo, it's cold, and they were more concerned about the cold than they were about each other. And the second ceremony sort of outside too, but they had heaters, like blow heaters, like you know, air blowing in there like hardcore, and it was warm. It was still outside, it was in a tent, but much different scenario. Everybody was comfortable. Yeah, there was some dresses blowing around a little bit, but they were blowing warm heat, you know, right up the legs, right up the butt, woo, 75 degrees right up there. Everybody was good, even the groomsmen. They were like oh, this is nice. You know what I mean.
Speaker 0:So when you have a ceremony outside during the cold months of the year, you have to think about it Like it's a good theory. You know what I mean. Like you have to think about it like it's it's a good in theory. You know what I mean like, if you're like I gotta be outside, I gotta get them photos. You know what I mean like I gotta be out there. I spent all this money in this venue. I gotta have the fucking, the trees in the background and the bushes and the flowers and all that shit. I get that. I do, I get it.
Speaker 0:You know, we were outside at peddler's village my wife and I in the middle of July. It was hot as shit. We got rained on like right after the ceremony was over. But we got the ceremony in and then we were in. You know, it was a nice rainbow, it was all you know. It was all cool. But we did it on purpose, knowing that we'd rather have the sweltering heat of the outside and the assurance that it wasn't going to be cold out with the possible rain than to have the.
Speaker 0:You know I might be cold and it might be a very uncomfortable. Everybody's wearing jackets and they're out there shivering and they're more worried about their teeth clamping and their hot cocoa and their hot coffee. They are about watching what's going on. So it's this is my advice on this one. It's very simple, very short, very sweet. Because I stayed up real late last night. I'd say come on, barkley, get 255 yards, ninth best all-time NFL running back man. New York Giants, y'all suck.
Speaker 0:Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that you guys understand that you know when you book your venue, you're booking it for three different reasons One is how beautiful it is, two is how the food is and three is pretty much accessibility. You know, like, how close am I to a hotel, how easy is it for my guests to get here at the park and all that stuff. So those are the three main things. But when you have your ceremony outside and it's like November, december, you got to expect, yo listen, it might be really cold out. You know it could snow, you know could rain, but most of the time it's the cold weather. So you got to look at it from this perspective.
Speaker 0:If you're going to be outside in the cold, you got to understand that, listen, I got to figure out a way to make my guests comfortable and for me to be comfortable out in the cold. You know, like, if I'm wearing a dress or I'm wearing a tux or I'm wearing a suit or I'm standing there and I'm not wearing a coat because you can't wear a coat up there, you know you got to be, you know, dressed so it's like, you know, because they're freezing. You got to know that within the last five minutes of that ceremony they were more worried about I got to get inside to the warm weather. Then I got to get my ring on my finger and give my fiance a big ass kiss and be married. So it's great advice. Take it or leave it. I'm DJ ESG Peace.
