i see what is the majority's oppinion about this. however, when i do the musical program for a wedding or any kind of event, sometimes i have requests for allowing people to sing. but even more, sometimes, i invite them to be part of it. usually, is about some singers that need the accompaniment anyway, which i do. but even if someone wants to play my keyboard, i let him/her. usually, only for one song though!
i have no insurance for any of my equipment. maybe if i had, i wouldn t alowed everybody playing my keys...

most of the times, there is a request from the guests to invite the bride or groom for a song. but also the viceversa is true.

i had no problems with that yet, the people are doing their best and sometimes is quite funny to have them singing. i do recall one time when i had to refuse a guy, who was obviously willing but definitely not able to sing. he was so upset, he started singing anyway. for about five-six seconds... then he quietly went back to his place, not that happy, but at least he tried, right?
