🍽️ What Happens When Your Guests Request ‘WAP’ During Dinner

Subtitle: This is a wedding, not an after-hours club in Vegas.

Thank you for reading this post, I look forward to hearing from you soon!  :-)

There are three universal truths about weddings:

1. Someone will cry during the vows.

2. Someone will get way too emotional during the cake cutting.

3. Someone—usually a distant cousin or a rogue groomsman—will request “WAP” by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion during dinner.

Look, I love a bold request. I’m not here to shame anyone’s music taste. But let me paint you a picture of what happens when this track is dropped… at 6:42 p.m.… during the salad course… with Grandma two bites into her goat cheese crostini.

🎤 Act 1: The Request Arrives (Uninvited)

I’m behind the DJ booth, minding my own business, playing smooth, elegant, “people-are-still-chewing” background music. You know:
Norah Jones. John Legend. A tasteful acoustic cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”

Then—bam.

A guest stumbles over, clearly vibing way too hard for this early in the night.
He leans in, smells like tequila and groomsmen sweat, and whispers:

“Yo… can you play WAP? Like right now?”

Right now.
While the flower girl is carefully stacking bread rolls like a carb tower.
While Grandma is discussing how nice the table runners are.
While the officiant is mid-chicken.

My internal response:

“Sir, this is a butter knife moment, not a bucket and a mop moment.”

🍑 Act 2: The Internal Debate

Do I:

A) Deny the request and risk being labeled “DJ Buzzkill” for the next 30 minutes?

B) Honor the request and risk multiple grandparent strokes?

C) Pretend I didn’t hear it and slowly back away behind the speaker?

Spoiler: I go with Option C + Strategic Deflection.

“That’s a great one for later! Let’s wait until everyone’s done digesting morality.”

💃 Act 3: But What If I Did Play It?

Let’s imagine an alternate timeline.
I take a deep breath, cue it up, and the first heavy beat of “WAP” drops during the Caesar salad.

Here’s what happens:

• Aunt Karen drops her fork.

• A toddler asks, “Mommy, what’s a…” You get it.

• The officiant’s eyebrows vanish into his hairline.

• The couple makes uncomfortable eye contact from across the room like, “Did we… consent to this?”

• The photographer sprints to capture reactions like they’re filming for Dateline.

The only person thriving is the guy who requested it—who’s now twerking alone in a rented tux while someone’s mom texts the church group chat.

🙏 Act 4: The DJ Save

Instead of a full lyrical assault, I do what any seasoned wedding DJ does:

I queue up the instrumental version—sneaky, vibey, and 100% grandma-safe.
To the untrained ear? It’s a beat.
To the guest who requested it? Validation.
To the couple? Crisis averted.
To me? A silent victory, achieved through finesse, restraint, and not ruining dinner.

🧠 DJ Pro Tip: Timing Matters More Than Hype

Don’t get me wrong—WAP absolutely has a place at a wedding.

That place is:

• After the cake is cut

• After Grandma’s gone home

• After the flower girl’s asleep in a pile of jackets

• When the dance floor is sweaty, judgment-free, and half the people are already barefoot

At that point? LET IT FLY.
I’ll even cue in the censored version if we’re feeling fragile.
But during the main course?
That’s like asking the string quartet to play “Pony” during communion.

🎧 Final Thought:

Weddings are about balance.
Yes, we want energy. Yes, we want fun.
But also: let’s not introduce Cardi B while people are cutting steak.

At DJ Rock My World, I specialize in reading the room.
I’ll make sure the timing hits just as hard as the bass.
And if someone requests something… ambitious during dinner?

I’ve got a plan, a polite “not yet,” and a remix that’ll still make them feel like a hero when the time is right.
