I used to own a very large mobile DJ service. Believe it or not, a stuipd request like this came in about once a week. "I have 3 kids to support and can't afford and extravagant wedding, will you DJ it for free?" People often call the newspaper and get sympathy and the journalist starts working for them looking for donations.

Wonder why she doesn't just call the airlines and ask for free tickets out of goodwill. Oh wait, maybe it's because they're in business to make money.
