    Written By:

    1. The power hungry bouncers

    These ones want you to call them “chairman” one million times before they allow you enter, even though you have an invite.

    2. The dancing waiter

    There’s always one waiter that forgets his tray carrying work and starts giving some hot steps!

    3. The enthusiastic photographer

    Ready to lie down on the dance-floor to get the “perfect shot”. Baba take it easy oh!

    4. The cassanova groomsman

    Every woman there is a possible target. No one is safe oh! Not even great grandmothers.

    5. The very excited mother of the bride

    6. The desperate bridesmaid

    She wants to meet every single eligible bachelor there and treats the tossing of the bouquet like it’s an olympic sport.
