A bride-to-be was left stunned by a peculiar clause contained within a contract from a prospective wedding DJ.
The American woman, who is planning her upcoming big day, recently shared her experience after being 'referred' to a local DJ who had 'great reviews'.
But after enduring an epic three-hours long 'intro Zoom' online meeting with the wedding day musician, she received a bizarre contract from him the following day.
Posting sections of the strangely punctuated contract to Reddit's 'Wedding Shaming' thread, the most peculiar inclusion was an 'Anti-Bridezilla Clause'.
The clause included on the fourth and final page of the contract read: 'You Agree not to become a Bridezilla, have a Temper-tantrum, a Crying Fit, become MeloDramatic, become Hyper-Selfish, Throw things, or engage in Any Defamation.'
A bracketed sentence underneath the 'Anti-Bridezilla Clause' added: '95% of our Couples are Reasonably Mature; we are really trying to Weed Out/Prevent the Bottom 5%'.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the woman later revealed that she and her finance did not book the wedding musician.
But the outlandish clause was only the tip of the iceberg within the confounding four-page agreement document.
It included assurances that the DJ was not 'Cheesy', 'Generic' or 'Hyperactive' - unlike others in the profession.
The contract included extraordinary details about the DJs service being unlike others in the profession who 'just come & Blast Generic Cheesy Line Dances & rap all night'.
It also detailed the DJs assurance to not 'Show Off' or be 'Hyperactive' throughout the nuptials - even detailing their 'classy' planned outfit of a 'Navy Blue Blazer & Bowtie'.
The unnamed DJ also pledged to 'Do my Best to be Easy-To-Talk-To & a Joy-To-Work-With unlike most DJs that have Hidden Attitude Problems'.
The contract saw the DJ confirm that 'unlike many DJS who try to 'pick up chicks at gigs', I will be treating your guests with Respect as a Classy DJ'.
The final price on the contract listed a Security Deposit of $1745 and a remaining balance payment of $900.
In reply to the Reddit post, commenters had a field day picking apart not just the 'Anti-Bridezilla Clause' but other outrageous elements such as the extreme clauses, sales-y wording and unusual syntax.
One Redditor reflected on the entire unorthodox document: 'The capitals. The "1990s infomercial" tone. The content and list of services that is just on the functional side of unhinged.'
A second person wrote: 'The first two pages of this is just an ad... Get to the point without all the hard sell and badmouthing your competitors.'
The Reddit post lit up with replies from commenters, who were floored by the myriad of claims, bizarre syntax and sales-y declarations contained within the wedding DJs contract.
Another jokingly added: 'And don't forget he will be "classy" not "cheesy" like all those other drunk, obnoxious , women chasing DJ's'.
A concluding point in the contact even saw the DJ offer to take on wedding planning duties for the big day as an added value feature.
To this point, one person replied: 'That is absolutely unhinged.'
Others failed to see the funny side of it all, identifying that the document had a 'general creepiness' to it and contained 'so many scare quotes'.
Specifically in reference to the 'anti-bridezilla' clause, some commenters felt it was 'kind of misogynistic'.
To this point, one commenter replied: 'If I got this contract and all the madness before hadn't thrown me off yet, that casual misogyny would be the part where any chance if me hiring that guy would go straight out the window.'
The original poster agreed with one commenter who noted that the over the top agreement document read like a 'manifesto'.
The bride added: 'That's how we felt. Half ransom note/half manifesto.'
