Back when I used to work evenings, I watched a lot of goofy television during the day. One show I got to enjoy later than a lot of people was Mystery Science Theater 3000.

If you haven’t even seen the show, it involves a guy and two “robots” who are forced to watch a bad movies, usually science fiction. The show essentially involves them sitting around and making fun of the movies with their silhouettes super-imposed over the action.

I only bring this up because Maria and I went to a wedding a few weeks ago. We had never been in this particular church. The bride and groom were the only people we knew at the ceremony. We sat in a back pew and entertained each other with comments about everything happening around us.

The ceremony was wonderful, of course. We didn’t mean any disrespect, but it’s kind of hard to sit there and not make comments to each other while a bee attacks the hair of a lady a few pews in front of you.

That’s when I had an epiphany of sorts. Maria and I could market our services as an add on to companies who film weddings.

Think about it. The bride and groom have a lot going on during the day. They can’t conceivably see everything that happens around them. I know our wedding day was kind of a blur.

Now we didn’t have our service or reception filmed, but if we did, I would get a kick out of two people adding an audio commentary to the proceedings after the fact. But I’m weird that way.

The good thing is, and I have written about this before, that I spend way too much time adding my own little commentary to things in life. I have lots of experience at this kind of activity.

So while you might not know that there is someone trying to fight off a bee with a hymnal 20 rows back while you recite your vows, you might get a kick out of someone making jokes about it when you watch the DVD.

But there is so much more than rogue insects. There are people dressed not as nice as everyone else, things in the church that make you ask questions and moments that just bring a smile to your face. You need our unique perspective on these things.

This might require a little more work for crews filming the wedding. I bet most of them focus their cameras on the front of the church most of the time. We’ll need to arrange for more cameras to make sure we catch the guy who wears jeans and a golf shirt while everyone else has on a suit. Just make sure you preview the video before you show it to your friends.

Even though we will add our commentary after the fact, we should probably come and scout out the situation, Of course this means we will have to attend a lot of wedding receptions and eat a lot of free meals, but we’re doing this for the bride and groom. I’ll sacrifice some Saturday evenings for my art. Just remember that I prefer Yuengling.
