Funny, extroverted, charming, humble – these are some of the first qualities that come to mind when you characterise a master of ceremonies. But an emcee must also manage time, deal with hiccups, and put the audience at ease, among other challenges. Emceeing a friend’s big day is an incredible privilege, but one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. You can imagine how excited I was when no other than My Wedding Mag editorial manager Jamie asked me to emcee her wedding.
