This has never happened to me before so I thought it’d be interesting to share.
Last week, I had a job inquiry to host a wedding reception.
The client said he would get his colleague to contact me but no news whatsoever, so I thought the job was a no go.
Until yesterday evening at 6.30pm, I got a text from the groom asking me about my whereabouts which I found strange.
Then it hit me hard that “TONIGHT” is his wedding dinner.
I told him nobody followed up with me so I didn’t note down the job in my calendar. ... and he went like, “OMG! There’s been a miscommunication. The person who was supposed to contact you thought someone else was going to do it and that person assumed another person would contact you to confirm the job.... but in the end, nobody did.. I’m sorry, do you think you could still make it and come to the hotel now?”.
I said ‘YES’ in a heart beat because first, it was his special night.
Second, I didn’t want to be responsible for ruining the newly wedded couple’s wedding reception.
Third, my schedule was open.
I immediately got ready with the help of my mum choosing a suitable cocktail dress for me and drove me to the venue while I did my make up in the car!
I literally rushed and ran like a headless chicken. Got to the hotel, met the team, looked at the agenda, no script, no sound check and off I went on stage in less than 10 minutes upon arrival!
It was a really impromptu fast and furious kinda night for me as I winged it.
Putting aside the chaos, I actually find this experience thrilling and challenging! It’s weird but I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie and things like this fire me up!
If you’re wondering, everything went according to plan, at least to the event organizer 😆
I’m just really happy and glad that I didn’t get the bride and groom’s names wrong despite the zero preparation that I had! ✌🏽
Happy Sunday! ☺
