Public proposals generally make me so uncomfortable, I feel like many people pull them out just to pressure the other person into saying "yes" because they're in public.
Yeah, I'd absolutely hate to be the one having to answer the question.
That or they've watched one too many 90s or 2000s romantic movies and failed to realize that it is an absolute fiction. 🙃
I am certain that this is a staged confrontation. They just wasted everyone's time. That is in my city.
@@JagannadhGosala Yeah I know, just commenting on public proposals overall
I put a pause on my hubby's public proposal, but then shortly convinced him to ask in a private, personal location.
Thumbs up to the cellist who took over the line, just like that.
Yes, a true musician 👌
Yes! This was the only clip that wasn't complete cringe. Things go wrong. Musicians who are prepared can deal with it.
wait which clip is that
@@visib_uncomfy about 6:00
@@elissahunt thanks!
Pro tip: ALWAYS have a wedding rehearsal with the musicians and wedding party. That way you know the musicians know the music, and they know when to come in.
This is great advice, except you would have to pay the musicians for the rehearsal, too, and many people won't do that.
tbh that's not a pro tip, that's common sense.. idk what's wrong with all these people who seem to expect that everything just goes smoothly without putting any effort to make sure 🤪
Elissa Hunt people that won’t pay musicians for a rehearsal also won’t pay for actual professional musicians in the first place.
@@stephenbeck7222 Not in my experience. They pay for the musicians to show up at the event and play. It doesn't matter if it's a wedding, dance, party, whatever. Gig musicians almost never get paid to rehearse, but they are professionals, and they do get paid for the job. Eddy and Brett have talked more than once about their first wedding gig and not knowing how it was supposed to go. Do you honestly think they weren't paid?
@@elissahunt Agreed. Musicians don't usually do the wedding rehearsals, but it's nice to have a point of contact to either cue you, or at least an order of procession on paper to reference. I would never do an unpaid rehearsal, that's for sure.
I guess it's not all bad being alone. I don't have to worry about horrible wedding music.
pfft yyeahhh
and people proposing on shopping malls
imagine playing wedding music on UA-cam and halfway on the aisle, there's an ad.
@@knighthunter1791 omg that would be horrible 😭😭😭
I personally have a really hard time attracting women. I have to use money to do it.
Played the trumpet for years. The first thing I thought was “oh no he probably did the right fingering but didn’t get the buzzing correct and ended up on a lower note and that threw him off so much that he couldn’t recover.” If you’re nervous and make a mistake as obvious as that panic sets in and it’s really hard to find your way back in. Poor guy I bet he was someone’s relative who got roped into doing it.
I don't play trumpet, but I had the thought that maybe he was trying to play more quietly, and that messed him up? Could that be a contributor?
I thought that it sounded like when ive played for too long in one day and my lip muscles were just too sore and tired to play the higher notes, i felt like that may be what happened?
Also played for years. It definitely seems like he might know how to play a little but never played this, and definitely was roped in at the last minute. “Oh Dave can play trumpet, right Dave?” So listened to it a couple times, then completely blanked on it in the moment.
Yeah, I felt like he was a relative, too. I don't think he was very experienced, and I'm sure he's never played a wedding before. To be honest, when the camera showed him, I was surprised to see he wasn't a little kid.
@@FebbieG it surely could. Whenever someone asked me “can you play this high note with piano dynamic?” I wanted to shoot looks at them. It’s hard enough to come in on a high note correctly without “cracking” as it is but doing it quietly takes a lot of control.
As someone considering a future career as an organist, this terrifies me.
It shouldn't! Clearly there is a big need for good organists and your competitors dont seem to be that good ;)
I was an organist for a church for a while! Even though I was an organ novice (although I'd played piano for years), the congregation was so nice and always complimentary while I was getting the hang of it. It's super fun; I'd highly recommend it!
I'm in the last year of compulsory school in Sweden (year 9, 15 yo) and I need to select my major for further studies. I have a choice between moving to a larger city (where there is actually a music programme) or staying in my small town and studying science/becoming a doctor. I want to follow my passion of playing classical music but I'm terrified that I'll end up without a job by the end of all of it. most of all I want to be a concert pianist, but organist seems like a safer choice because my father is one and I basically know the church community around my small town and would probably get a decently well paying job there. The safe choice would be staying here and becoming a doctor or a scientist working for the mine (I live in a mining community). I want to follow my passion, but I'm terrified to do so. It will take 7 years for me to become a fully educated organist, as well as moving 3 times. I'm 15 years old and I'm not sure I'm ready to live alone in a city I've been to once when I was like 5, and staying there for 3 years before moving again. I've made bad choices before and I don't want to do it again. The TwoSet community is the best one I know of. I'm genuinely completely unsure of what I want to do with my life and I would highly appreciate an opinion from an outside perspective. So, what do you all think I should do? This won't completely dictate my decision but it would be nice to get some perspective on it. Thanks
//Vilgot
Don't worry, it's very simple. Don't be tone deaf, and practice. lol
If you make the song almost second nature you won't be able to mess up that badly lol Part of that comes to listening to the songs on your down time like you would the radio so that the feel of the song and song structure are second nature.
This is how I helped my singer get used to new songs every time we changed our set list.
@@vilgotwesterlundvappling One thing I can say is don't be terrified of moving to the point you don't do it. People are people everywhere you go. Doesn't matter the country or language. Moving is a big step at the start, but once you've done it you realize it's all about learning the area. You're scared of leaving what you know, but gaining knowledge of a new place doesn't take that long if you make that your focus. Also, travel light. Which shouldn't be too hard since you're still young and probably have almost everything you own in your room lol
All of this is from my personal experience having taken a trip to Costa Rica for 6 months at 20yrs old and moving 3 times in the last 6 years on my own. The 1st move was from southern Ontario to Vancouver Island, Canada with everything I owned in my car (travel light ;) but the 2nd one was the more scary one despite being in the same city cuz I had to settle for such a small place. But it worked out. Don't isolate yourself, learn the area, and do the basic things to keep yourself safe until you know you can trust a person. Stay aware, not anxious. Just like music, if you're prepared you'll be fine.
I've tried to limit myself in the past for "practical" reasons, but I've since realized that it really wasn't helping me. Expand your comfort zone, you'll be a much better and happier person because of it. However you choose to use this advice always make that last point your goal.
Hope this helps :)
Sadly this reminds me of an event in my childhood. My mom played the piano quite well but she was not a professional. Well, somehow this led to a friend of my mothers asking that she would play the wedding march at their wedding. My mom tried very hard to refuse but they were insistent to the point I had to wonder if you could call that a friend, so eventually my mom caved and agreed. A week before the wedding, my mom finds out that she would be playing on an organ in a massive church rather than a piano. She was but a piano hobby player... All things considered, she did relatively well but it led to a major falling out and I have never seen those people again.
Poor your mom! I found myself in similar situations, but forunately I was strong enough to always turn them down! But, yeah, in my case, they were not "friends" 😕
It's horrible when people basically force someone to do something beyond their skill set, and then blame the person who didn't want to do it in the first place. That "friend" should have apologized to your mom for putting her in that situation. Just as well there was a falling out. No one needs friends like that.
I hate when people pressure you into a situation like that or are like “you’ll be fine, it’s no biggie” and you end up embarrassing yourself. One time my teacher did this to me when I was a little kid and forgot my music for a performance and I hadn’t ever played it through from memory. Had so many memory lapses it was a miracle I made it to the end somehow, a very distressing and scary experience. She did a similar thing with another student who was a singer and at the last minute got her to sing an already high piece in a different and higher key. Her voice range meant she was struggling to hit the top notes and she held it together till the end but was in tears afterwards.
Tbh good riddance to those so called "friends". The best outcome is to fall out, don't have to deal with their future bollocks anymore.
That's ridiculous! The organ is a whole different animal from a piano. Your poor mum.
5:44
"That could've been us"
WHAT???
"Cause we don't know the cues"
Ah well
Lol when he said that I was like “huh??”
My guess for some of those failed organists that sounded like they didn't practice was that they had hired a friend/relative/acquaintance who was a pianist who said, "oh, organ is the same thing, I can do it!"
Sorry but any pianist would do better. There's a difference between not knowing how to operate an organ and pressing the wrong keys.
My guess is they tried to hire a musician for 50 bucks.
Any pianist would be able to atleast play the melody as if it was a piano. They might not be able to do all the cool organ harmonies and such, but it would not be out of key
@@DeinBestrFreund "I took piano in middle school so I'm a pianist! I'll play at your wedding for free!" Day of the wedding: "Wait what are all these little hashtags and b's on the music?"
@@ofsinope where're the numbers?
The guy in the shopping mall said: "This is where we met 3 months ago". There is no reason to assume they even know each other. He might be just another entitled stalker.
yeah, this was very manipulative...trying to pressure the woman into saying yes to avoid embarrassment. he got what he deserved. but the ukelele player didn't...
@@CeciliaTan ok. That makes complete sense.
It clearly doesn't looks like something possible. It just hurts
That dark chocolate train saying "Not So Sweet" arriving at 9:06 just when the romance was at the peak moment is just hilarious... It describes the poor lady's feeling during that time lol ... It almost seems as if they had already staged and prepared everything , even that train b4hand
I heard it was an ad for the train, which makes sense
@@cranberryrosebud yes surely that was an add , but I found the message hilariously appropriate for the situation.
@@risingunity6446 a truly masterful creation.
I guess it was all staged. I don't really know anybody who'd become physically violent while rejecting a wedding proposal. Nor have I heard any stories.
@@Pranav_Bhamidipati Do any wedding proposals actually happen like this in the south? We are generally very reserved people.
I'm quite impressed by those noob organist. All of them successfully modified the musics into some Dark Soul boss fighting BMG. Neat.
That's indeed quite neat, except for the fact that Dark Soul boss fighting BMG happens in wedding ceremonies lol.
Guy had a divorce ceremony booked right afterwards and got the gigs mixed up.
i always love when brett and eddy tell stories about their childhood/teenage memories. it gives me hope that yes, some friendships out there are worth fighting for
You should watch the channel Good Mythical Morning. The hosts are in their late 40s and they’ve been friends since childhood
I waited 7 years for mine, and now I am the happiest woman alive. Keep waiting and praying, they are out there.

Underrated comment 😭😭
That’s how I feel about clarinet, I hate how at one quicklyi have to change my fingering from one note to the other, like there’s these two notes that are high and I have to change from holding down two keys to holding down all the holes and one key, but I love the way it sounds though
The morale of the video:
For newlyweds, audition your musicians FIRST before performing.
For unprepared DJs and musicians who are hired, Ling Ling will find you and punish you for your acts.
We didn't audition our musicians in person, but they sent us a tape they made, so we knew how well they played. Great group, and they let my husband play with them during the reception (he's a pro). That's right, he sat in with the band during the reception instead of dancing. 😄
Or hire musicians you know they can play.
I got a quartet for my wedding. They did just fine. They were professionals.
There's no need to audition. People have demo's and videos to show potential clients. If gigging musicians had to audition for every job we'd never get any gigs done. If you're a decent band you'll establish a good reputation and have no need to seek out gigs. If someone asked me or one of my bands to audition for their wedding I'd turn them down cold.
@@brassholio Yeah, with sites like UA-cam and Facebook, people should have no problem finding musicians who can play. And communication goes a long way toward making sure you get the music you want. I feel like a lot of the fails in this video were because the organizers didn't want to pay too much and they didn't bother to check that the musicians/DJs were competent.
No, the true lessons from this is do your wedding within your means, if you want something grandeur you need to pay for it. If you try to save money by having your friend or relative playing the music or find some cheap event organizer this is what you’ll get
11:00 they were playing music. It was John cage 4'33"
All this laughter wasn't exactly good for my hurting back, but it sure raised my spirits. Thanks Brett and Eddy and happy Valentine's day to everyone!
hope you recover soon!
Lol I’m kinda in the same boat, I just had abdominal surgery and I have to keep telling my family to not make me laugh. Hope you feel better!
@@addymatthews2065 Oh, that sounds way worse than my back. I'll probably be okey in a couple of days, I'm kind of used to this. Hope you'll have a quick recovery!
Now I'm laughing 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Hope you both feel better soon, KataM and Addy! ^^
And Happy Valentine's Day, thanks a ton!
I think this is what happens when you cut costs by asking friends & family to play for you instead of hiring professionals.
...and in some cases it might even be some very eager friend or a family member insisting that they will play in the wedding, it will be the wedding gift. Or enthusiastic parent putting their kid who has been taking lessons to play (I've heard some quite dodgy performances like that, though not on the actual ceremonial parts...)
@@freregregoire2685 I can see that happening, but it's up to the people planning the wedding to hold firm. They can (maybe) offer to let the pushy relative perform something (one piece only!) at the reception if it will save hurt feelings.
@@elissahunt Yeah, those are the types of performances I've heard and that's something that's even a bit charming, when in the reception the niece of the groom does some piece, even if objectively it is evident it still needed lots of practice...
Ya
@@elissahunt That's generally the way to go in my experience. It's one thing picking a song for a member of the family to perform before hand. It's another thing for drunk uncle Frank to stagger up to the band during the 3rd set and want to sing Sweet Caroline 😆
I played violin for my sister's wedding. Hot Humid coastal climate in a venue with no AC. Sweating bullets, and nervous as heck I played with a mute on for the pre-ceremony ambiance, and scared myself and the whole congregation when I took it off for the processional. Then because of the humidity my bow didn't want to grab for the recessional and made a horrible squeak instead of the first note. Thankfully she thought it was hilarious and they loved it. My one and only public performance...
I feel your pain. I got so nervous paying at a cousin's wedding that the bow shook and skipped through most of Cannon in D. Never played at a wedding again and cringe even thinking about it.
I’ve played a lot of wedding gigs and only a handful were completely flawless. 90% of the mistakes are thanks to the event coordinators. Most of those people are imbeciles. Always last minute changes and forgetting to mention important details. They’re constantly making other people look bad. Anytime the catering company, musicians, etc gets something wrong it’s because the wedding coordinator is a moron. I’m willing to bet at least one those clips was a last minute song change and the dj or musician didn’t have time to prepare because the event coordinator failed send an email in advance.
Absolutely agree. The amount of times the event organiser or coordinator screws up is unimaginable. Quite ironic since it's literally their job to make things run smoothly. Though I'll admit some times it is the bride/groom or parents meddling and making last minute changes too.
IMHO, if ppl want a perfect experience, hire professionals, including an Event Leader, with perfect experience: *perfect* practice makes perfect (fast practice makes a mess)
This video is a godsend. I just finished an extremely crappy day at work & was crying on the train trying to avoid eye contact with everyone & twoset uploaded. Thankyou for pulling me out of my misery temporarily 💕💕
Things will get better!
you did well !! :D
You got this, you will do great!
I hope you get better :( My day is shitty rn because have to go to school and everyone is celebrating Valentine’s Day lol
Hope you're ok. Take some time for yourself and recharge for the next day. You'll be great!
It's great being single on Valentine's day. Who needs love when you can practice.
the love for your instrument is better than the love for another human
You are not single, you are taken by your instrument
@@Shiver197 exactly!
@@Shiver197 One sided love is better than a mutual give and take? 🤔
I guess that guy in the video who proposed and got whacked for it can learn to love alone.
8:56 THIS IS WHERE WE MET EXACTLY 3 MONTHS AGO?
This is probably just the result of couples trying to save money on this part of the wedding by getting a family member or friend to do the music for free. Maybe the friends even warned the couples,, but felt like they couldn't say no. Guess it's worth hiring someone for this. I refuse to believe that proposal with the ukelele whack was real. Happy V Day!
It’s a chocolate comercial, the brand is on the train passing by.
8:47 I just found it funny how Eddy slowly hid behind Brett. Definitely decreased the 2nd hand embarrassment DMG
I COULDN'T WATCH
When that train went by and interrupted him I thought "this can't get any worse..."
@@forrestpalmer That guy was so clueless. Three months and he proposes? If he just paid attention to the woman's expression and body language, he would have seen it wasn't going to work and maybe salvaged something. The train was symbolic of the train wreck he was creating.
@@elissahunt I also liked the subtle message the train had as it passed through... "not so sweet". He had plenty of warning signs in front of him, and still kept going. The girl even tried stopping him and yet he said "I need to, I need to"...
It was embarrassing.
If I was the girl, I would've done the same thing.
@@elissahunt i liked that the train was like unintentionally helpin the girl about LOL it’s like… a warning
10:45 They chose John Cage 4'33" for their first dance.
I asked my sister to be a DJ for my wedding. She was great overall, but somehow, she left a Spotify playlist playing during the reception and Mozart’s Requiem came on followed by the soundtrack from Schindler’s List!
😂😂😂
I repeat...always hire Professional Musicians...even if you have to go down the aisle in your housecoat and serve your guests pizza, you'll be glad you had Professional Musicians.
PS I'm using my husband's phone
@@scottmiller8649 Thing is, I myself am a trained singer and pianist. My husband sings and plays 3 instruments. We would totally provide live music for our own wedding if that was at all practical. We did a live performance for people, but couldn’t do the music for obvious reasons haha. We prioritised food over music, as getting a family member to put together a Spotify playlist was a less obvious cut back than feeding guests cheap food. I appreciate and love live music, but it wasn’t one of the big ticket items for us, since at weddings, music is background/atmospheric thing, while food, the dress etc are at the forefront.
I guarantee that a lot of these musicians are family members who the bride and/or groom thought would be nice to have in the wedding. I've heard it before: "We can get cousin Joe to play the organ. He took piano lessons back in the seventh grade and would be wonderful!" - Never mind that he doesn't play the organ or even have an organ to practice on... or hasn't even played since the seventh grade. It's okay. It's a keyboard and they're all the same, right?
THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME! Speaking from PTSD...
This is a bit of a long story, so bear with me - I took a few organ lessons in college for fun. My primary is actually guitar, and I'm only a barely passable keyboardist to begin with. However, I had enthusiasm and a decent foundation... Anyway, fast forward to graduate school (MA Music Composition 2016) I get the idea "I want to take organ for credit, so the financial aid will pay for it!" I have a trial lesson on a piano with the teacher, it goes decently well and he agrees to teach me.
Now, my teachers in college were kind, patient, and likely used to teaching amateurs. This guy...drove me absolutely bonkers, despite me working my butt off for him! Anyway, after a grueling semester, jury time rolls around. Now, I had been practicing on the school's small choir room pipe organ, and it was fine. I knew my way around it well. We had a couple pieces ready to go. Well, we were going to have the jury at my teacher's church...with a significantly larger organ that I had never touched before. Not a problem. My teacher explained to me that him and I will get there early and I'll have a good 15-20 minutes to warm up and familiarize myself with the instrument.
Jury day comes. I'm sitting in front of the church with the head of the music department and the head of the piano faculty looking at our watches and they turn to me and say "Where's your teacher?" He was late. I did not have the 15 minutes I was promised to familiarize myself with the instrument. We got in, I sat at the console - everything on it was in French! Now, I know French organ terms to some extent, but when you are nervous as hell, French might as well be Klingon! So, my teacher pulled some stops, and said have at it. Well, I start playing the first part of a little two part invention thing on one manual, but the second I start playing the other hand's part on the other manual, I can't hear that hand! Turns out the pipes for this instrument were split...more or less evenly, between a case right behind the console on the altar, and a case ALL the way at the back of the church. I later learned from my teacher this was due to compromises that were made to fit the instrument in the building, as the church got it second-hand. Gee, thanks for the heads up, teach! lol
Predictably, my playing falls apart. Now, without really knowing physically the layout of the console, and everything being in French my teacher had to come back up and help me out. He did, begrudgingly. I tried to play through the rest of my pieces...it probably wasn't a complete disaster, but it felt like it at the time. I was a wreck! Everyone was unhappy. Afterwards, they pulled me aside and told me not to take lessons for credit, but gave me a B for my effort...but that was probably one of the most traumatic experiences of my musical career. (Granted, I'd do it all over again, because I'm a better keyboardist for it!)
TLDR: Organ is NOT the same as piano. Organs are all vastly different. Organ is possibly the least forgiving instrument. Whatever practice time you think you need on piano, double it for organ!
@@ryano.5149 I'm with you all the way. That's a nightmare jury for sure. I've been playing piano since the mid '70s, synths and electric organs in the '80s, but didn't learn pipe organ until the '90s. These days I just gig around with a keyboard/DAW rig and work as an audio engineer. You are absolutely right that they aren't all the same. Organ is a different creature than piano and I dare say no two pipe organs are truly the same. In fact, part of playing pipe organ is working out the registrations on the instrument you intend to play before you play it. If you went before a jury capable of judging your performance on pip organ, they should have known that you would need to work out your registrations first and practice with them so you could transition effectively. You were done wrong.
So, here's the thing, I've seen that mall proposal before and I honestly think it's an advertisement. When he's on one knee, that toy train with the "Not So Sweet" message goes by and it's for a dark chocolate brand.
9:12 istg the train is a paid actor
You're not wrong. This video was staged for a Cadbury ad, hence the Cadbury train with the slogan "NOT SO SWEET" to promote their chocolate bars.
4:14 why is Eddy’s laugh so Infectious
I KNOWW RIGHT LOL
DON'T PROPOSE TO HER AFTER 3 MONTHS WOW
I’m playing my second ever wedding in a couple weeks, and in general started 2022 by putting myself out there for events. This is making me both nervous and inspired to practice until my fingers fall off 😂
You’ve got this!
Show up as early as you're allowed access to the venue.
Weddings are chaos and something (on everyone else's end) is likely to go wrong.
Good luck!
@@amazoniam3695 for sure! I have it in my contract that I arrive 45- 60 minutes early in order to set up and tune :)
Perhaps you can make arrangements to practice on the venue organ a day or two before the wedding. That way you can figure out its quirks beforehand.
@@elissahunt I actually play harp so thankfully I bring my own instrument!
Remember kids, your only true love is someone you’d be nothing without, someone who’d be nothing without you, you complete each other, that person is your instrument. That is why Eddy and Brett are both engaged to their violins.

Yeah the proposal was a marketing campaign for Cadbury bournville, a dark chocolate, which is why the toy train goes by with "Not so sweet" written on it. Because apparently the guy was being sickly sweet with the proposal, that was the contrasting point , I guess!!!

With the kind of things that shock @twoset, I wonder what their reaction would be to AIBs skits, i want to see them react to Man's best friend by AIB , since it also has a "musical" component.
I feel like this is what happens when you ask your cousin to play for free knowing they took piano lessons as a kid, but they have NEVER seen a multi-leveled organ with foot pedals in their LIVES, and showed up on the day with nothing but Anxiety. lol

musicians that bad at weddings are called "relatives"
Nothing like seeing other people suffer, to distract yourself from the lack of a romantic life you have ;-;
Not a musician, but I recall my cousin's wedding years ago where she thought she could keep her composure singing at her own wedding and her new husband had to come up to the microphone to rescue her. It was the cringiest experience.
I sang at a wedding once where I could only use the church's in-house accompanist and he had not bothered to look at the piece the bride chose until the day before the wedding. It was not an easy piece by any means, but I had sent it to him months in advance, so there was plenty of time to tell me to pick something else if it was too difficult for him. Long story short, he kept fumbling and losing his place - I had to stop singing several times just to figure out where he was so I could jump in again. It was a freaking disaster. Fortunately it was just a prelude and people were still mingling so not really paying attention, but it was super embarassing.
I played the wedding music for my godbrother's wedding. I was playing an acoustic guitar and fingerpicking a song I had written that they liked. Worked out all of the cues beforehand, all good.
The issue was that the bride (she's super sweet!) was so nervous that she kept speeding up the walk down the aisle and I had prepped my music to finish when she got to the end walking a consistent rate. So I had to speed up and even skip two lines on the fly so the music would finish with the bride instead of just stopping in the middle or continuing on even though the march was over.
I was able to salvage the music because I was PREPARED. FROM PRACTICING.
The extent of Brett and Eddy’s rap skills: “Yo What’s Up” 😂
After a horrible exam and day, this is exactly what I needed today lmao, feeling better already
eyy exams week for you too?
@@liyuan492 yepp, good luck to you for yours
I love the organists, sounded like they were trying to summon satan haha! Happy valentines!
My theory at 6:49 is that the person played the march reasonably well on the piano and was like "Piano? Organ? They're basically the same, right?" and ended up learning the hard way just how different they are to play.
5:44 for a moment there, I was soo confused when Brett said "that could've been us" 😂😂😂 then he continued and I was like, oh 😅
I was like what????
@@helenwong4230 😂😂😂
This gave me hives man. I can't watch this level of cringe, if I was those brides I would have been handing out uppercuts. Also, the mall chick should have run the minute that dude grabbed a mic.
5:10 We all see the woman, but what about the priest behind her? 0_0
9:03 "It is less cringe if you cant see it"
*literally me blocking my eyes with my elbows*
9:06 "Steam train steam train, take me where I wanna go" 😂
Have a happy Valentines day everyone!!
I Love Twoset and this community!
Give some love to your Instrument too by practicing 40 hours :))
❤❤❤😁
12:24 aah yes, sweet sweet jazz
Plot twist: 7:00 is actually a jazz wedding and they are doing it on purpose
One time I was at a wedding were the exit song more or less sounded like in 6:50. It was funny and very cringy at the same time... The worst part, it was the bride's or groom's mum who was playing🙈. Later, they forgot to place us at a table at the reception so we had to sit with the parents of the happy couple for the whole evening and we barely knew them🤣. They were very nice people though, although someone clearly didn't practice 40 hours a day😉.
Twoset's wedding (or weddings, who knows lol) would be like:
... orchestra start playing
Eddy: No no no you are out of tune, tune your violin again, here is an A;
Brett: This is lame, play my Lofi instead.
Anyways, Happy Valentine's day guys, if you don't have a significant other (like me), remember, to PRACTICE YOUR INSTRUMENT since that's your BAE forever!
This genuinely made me laugh out loud 😂
LMAO... Got my BAE too. Remember to whisper 'Saranghae' into her F hole today!
As a trumpeter, I approve of the first wedding fail. Failing the first line/phrase was hilarious. Although I agree with the fart noise part (because it really WAS fart noises 😂), please don't call us notoriously loud - we aren't all loud 😥 we can be soft
My aunt offered to sing at my wedding. I had a moment of panic, and then just said, "Actually, we're not planning on having any solos at the wedding."
And we didn't.
In Finland, Valentine's day is actually named (directly translated) Friend's day! I think it's better. Its a day to celebrate friendships instead of being about couples.
Ystävänpaivä!
Still sounds like a commercialist scam.
I'm sorry but Editor-san, I love your humor and edits so much 🥲💕 Always make my day brighter ♡
P.S. Happy Valentine's, everyone ♡
I’m guessing most of the bad wedding musicians are friends/family of the people getting married… They wanted to save money and got what they paid for.
9:53 OIL PAY DA BILL BASTA!!!
"It's okay, we love you"
The same for you two~
ah valentines. the only holiday i don’t celebrate.
Same
It's not even a holiday so I couldn't care less more LOL
Wait I'm confused, if your wedding is supposed to be one of the most important days of your life, shouldn't you also invest time, effort and money into having a good rehearsal?
i know it has been a while but anyway: many people just dont know anything about music, so they hire anyone and think the "musician" will be able to play anything perfectly. also if you dont have the money, you dont really have a choice and will accept anything if it is cheap.
I am actually out of breath from laughing so much. And the horror on B & E’s faces as the fails unfolded - priceless!
Thank you Twoset Team this was just what we needed!
HAPPY VALENTINES! I hope everyone have their dates, even inaginary. Love yourself and your family!
NOW GO PRACTICE!

The proposal was faker than the guy of "fly of the Bumblebee" world Record
Why would you fake that? As a performance art piece, who would enjoy watching that? I mean, I guess you might want to go viral with the video, but god damn
@@TiggerIsMyCat To go viral and profit
@@marcellocoimbra4540 Supposedly, I heard from someone else, it was a marketing campaign for Cadbury's dark chocolate, which given Cadbury's history of ads that have nothing to do with chocolate, I'm inclined to believe.
@@TiggerIsMyCat The hit totally not faked... right
If it weren't for the explanation, I would have guessed the stopping piano guy was an equipment malfunction. It sounds like a cheap casio with built-in speakers that can run on battery. I had one, and when the batteries got low, the piano would shut off suddenly when you played more than 5 notes at once
EDITOR SAN omg 0:17 “ew take it back” I am crying oml
TwoSet uploads, a self-esteem boost from the bad "musicians" AND 3hrs of practice later. I think I'm having the best valentines day ever!
3 hours?! Wow!
But wait... Isn't it supposed to be 40???
Me too.... in July!
9:44 From a real musician: why does she take a musician's instrument! That's more intolerable than hitting people on the head lol
Trust me, I've been in a similar, if less extreme thank god, situation, and even then I was absolutely panicking and not thinking clearly. You go into survival mode, grab the first thing to hand. Come to think of it, my situation also involved a ukelele, hm, go figure. I absolutely would've broken that uke if there hadn't coincidentally been a mattress right there to catch it. Plus, totally the guy's fault, not hers. Don't put people in situations where they have to go into panic survival mode. He's the one who should be on the hook for that uke
Dude, she did self defense. Uke is the first thing that she can grab. I think that if the first thing that she can grab is a knife she would grab it. No smart people in this whole damn world want to break an instrument. I know you’re “a real musician” and get so fucking tricker over this, but trust me you would do that if you were the same stage as her.
Edit: and yeah, this is the musician fault. He should grab an uke’s neck more tightly so she can find something else to hit that douche’s head. I know you may want to blame the musician, but from what I’ve read as non-native speaker I think you put a blame solely on her, which is unfair in this case.
Also side note to all musicians, if you offer someone a lesson on a stringed instrument, them having trouble getting the fingering correct IS NOT CONSENT to do the whole "wrap arms around them to put your hands on theirs to move their fingers for them" thing. Never, ever do that thing unless you've obtained explicit consent, especially not if you've not even implied that you're going to do it so that the person is caught completely off guard.
Poor ukulele-san. :(
@@andafasaisai Couldn’t she just say no instead of hitting his head?
Why would you put your loved one on the spot in public?? The woman would always feel pressured into a marriage.
“See, that’s why you guys pay for musicians that practice.”
Also them: “We had NO idea when to start and stop!”
HAPPY VALENTINES EVERYONE AND TWOSET FAMMM! Because of you guys I am more into music and I appreciate classical music so much more. Thank you so much for everything! LETS CONTINUE TO SHOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE THEM BY PRACTICING 40 HOURS LING LING WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Edit:
Now I have reasons to celebrate Valentines day cuz I don't celebrate it or remember it. Tysm everyone!! Happy "Violin-times" dayy! We love you all and God loves you too! Godbless! WOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOOOOOOOOOO!!
Edit 2: The next morning I dreamt of them two times in a row. One was seeing their concert(idk what word to use jhsjjhs) and the other was performing with them. AND HOW DOES THIS HAVE MORE LIKES THAN USUAL? I BARELY GET ANY LIKES SHJHJDS. Oh and hello my friend @lingling!!

The video on 9:20 is fake I think
I remember watching this video on Ray William Jhonsan wedding fail video or something years ago he told that it’s fake and it is for a Cadbury campaign
That’s why a toy train had gone saying Cadbury not so sweet
It was a campaign for Cadbury not so sweet chocolate or something
It reminds me of my wedding: we married in a small and beautiful rural chapel, but we had to have the local choir (6 people) sing during the mass, that was one of the conditions. They just asked a really small fee that we decided to double because it felt too little. We only got to meet the head of the choir once before the wedding and only heard him sing.
When they started singing during the wedding it was so bad, they were mostly older women with falsetto voices, we were really surprised for the first 10 seconds or so, and then just laughed internally.
We still laugh about it when we think of it ! Every other thing was perfect, that helped a lot !
My local church has an electronic organ. The organist around here that plays in like 3 different cities, plays pieces once, and afzer that the organ can repeat them perfectly.
It's really nice because even at very small events you have a library of like 200 pieces that you can choose from (plus any midi file, but that normally doesn't sound as good)
12:14 actually sound like a horror movie version of this piece
I'm waiting for more "classical music and chill" videos with our dear Edwina!! I hope whoever she is dating with is taking very good care of her right now!!
That was a nice and funny video, but I don't think they'll do one more. In the video with answers from twosetters, they clearly didn't enjoy the insinuated question. I think they have gotten tired of the Breddy shipping thing.
Hey old friend, this is "blue", we meet again. :)
@@mentallyunstablernplssendhelp Hello! Wow your new name is long lol
Well. . . My most embarrassing moment was when i got invited to play for a wedding, but I've been only learned how to play violin for about 2 months so you cannot trust the tone, they requested to play can't help falling in love as the song for the bride, and so i practiced "with someone singing along" but on the day of the wedding the Singer didn't sing her part and so i panicked and didn't know what to do, and i so i keep repeating the first part. . . and since that day I've been practicing 40 hours so that i can recover my self-esteem im on my 6th month now
I said that I just learned violin 2 months ago and I am not yet confident on my violin playing, but they resisted and said it'll be fine. . . Man that memory really lasted. . .
Great hilarious video - though, if someone hasn’t done so, it should be pointed out that the mall proposal (from 2013) was a staged bit for Cadbury chocolates. Well staged at that!
all brett had to do was "he-hey" and im dead lmaoooo
Been waiting for that Valentines drop!
8:38 = Favorite meme. I tried to think of how **I'd** react in her situation...Brother says he'd just walk away mid-confession. I say I'd let him finish, then when he **asked** for my response, I'd grab the mic, calmly reply "No.", mic drop, and walk away. If he doesn't know what he did wrong, he's an idiot.
“Kevin! Play the song!”
I’m dying 🤣
Who needs a date when you have twoset violin videos ♡
You made me feel so much better 🥲
And your fellow Ling Ling wannabes
Got a concert on Friday… nervous af! Forget lingling 40 hrs… I’m practicing 80 hrs a day, hope it doesn’t go as badly as these fails 😬🙏
Any advice on how to not be terrified? 😂
Best of luck! LingLing is with you!
Goodluck!! cheering you on~
Good luck bud! I'd read jokes whenever i'm nervous, so i'll be less tense and forget the nervousness even if it's just for a while
Convert your nervousness to thinking its exciting. I wish you all the best! And i feel you, i'm currently training for my math competition in our area 😭
What's the worst that could happen? At the very least you'll end up on a 2set violin video.
Eddy getting so indignant that the girl grabbed/hurt that instrument is my favourite part of this video
The mall proposal in the thumbnail was a guerrilla commercial for Cadbury Bournville(check the train that passes by). The whole point being that it's a darker choclate that's not as sweet as regular chocolate. Oh and the main guy was my flatmate and the three musicians were guys from my Improv group 😂😂😂. Love your channel guys.
My first wedding gig, the wedding planner communicated nothing. The sound guy runs up to me and says, "Start playing." I thought he wanted to check the sound, so I just started playing random stuff. Nope. They started coming in.
Edit: Luckily, I was only playing a few of the songs. They were both movie buffs, so the bride was entering to the Star Wars throne room music, and for the exit song, they both put on fedoras and left to the Indiana Jones music.
Hey Twoset, thanks so much for getting me into classical music :) because of you guys I now have a deeper appreciation for not only the sheer beauty of the many pieces that I've gotten to know; but the skill and determination of the amazing composers and musicians that create and perform for people to enjoy. Although I am by no means a musician myself (can barely play anime OPs on keyboard), I'm glad that you guys are helping the classical music community grow and reach a lot of non-musicians so that more people can learn to appreciate something that's still pretty underrated.
You're also like my favourite UA-camrs at the moment, can't wait for you guys to reach 4 mill :D
That trumpet dude .He probably have wines too much ...🤣🤣
more like conscripted lol
Our trio was hired to play for a proposal in a Sydney office building (as if that weren't awkward enough) and our violinist broke a string just before we were supposed to start. I remember legging it down to Pitt Street mall (some music shop there at the time?) to try to get a replacement. We got back and (extremely late) managed to do the serenade in the reception area as all the staff looked on embarrassed. We were embarrassed to. It was awful.
