Beware...in 8 days, we're getting Married! Yesterday my dj homework (10 pgs) was erased off the computer...

Hi everyone,
I had my day planned from the time FH makes my coffee to shutting everything down by 10:30pm. With our Wedding 1 week away tomorrow there is SO much to do. Here's what happened to us and i don't want this for any of you... I started our 10 pages of DJ homework in early January. All I knew was our 1st dance. Everything else I used utube and Spotify to help choose every song from Guest seating to processional, recessional, special dedications, 1st dances with my Dad, Fhs Mom, Wedding party to garter toss, speach order, our cocktail hour music, dinner music, cake cutting and on and on. My guess is with all the time it took me to find that 1 right song for our Wedding that I spent a good 50 hours on it... I woke up yesterday knowing we'd be submitting our dj form as our MC arrived from B.C & we needed her input. Honey gave me my coffee and I clicked on the dj link... It read "Your file has been abandoned or submitted' I let out some choice words & called our DJ. He let me know that all my hardwork was lost. Bottom line. Gone just like that. I'll be honest, I cried... I hadn't written anything down and it never crossed my mind that this could happen especially so close to our Wedding. Our dj offered to meet and do the form in pen etc but I knew what I had to do. I abandoned all plans except appointments and sat down at the computer from 745 till late Afternoon doing my best to remember anything I could. I submitted the form and our dj received it. Now I have started a draft to dj so everytime I think of a song I forgot, I can add it. I'm grateful I had added most songs to my utube playlist. I am now behind on Photography homework all because this happened. As they say on Big Brother... Except the unexpected.... I should have printed as I went but I didn't. What a day! I feel pretty spent but relieved it'd submitted.

    This is crazy and really horrible to happen so close to the time. Have you been able to make the same list and back it up on a usb by chance after sending it to the DJ?

    Oh my goodness Julie! I'm so sorry this happened, and so close to your wedding! You were so lucky that you saved most of your songs to your YouTube playlist. You're DJ also seems very understanding so that's great too!

    Try not to stress too much this close to your wedding, I'm sure everything will be beautifulSmiley heart

    Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear that ☹️ I couldn’t imagine what would happen if I lost my wedding book with all of my plans and lists.

    Oh that's so disappointing. I know there is nothing you can do about it now but try not to let it overwhelm you. You got what you needed for your DJ and you never know when or where something will jog your memory about a song.

    Everything was lost... The DJ said that it was a lost cause. I did save some songs on my utube playlist so that was a little help. I did the best I could and the DJ assured me that he will fill in any "blanks" I've started a draft so everytime I remember a song that was on our homework, I add it to my list. Thank you for your kind words.

    Oh my gosh I'm so sorry to hear that!! - were you able to go through your browser history and find some of the songs? What about the history on youtube - not a playlist but your history.

    Hopefully you can find even better songs!!
