(...strains of the Wedding March are heard softly...)

I find myself awash in wedding plans. Not actually doing anything. Just planning. I have set myself the task of fussing over my daughter’s wedding just enough that I can’t be accused of fussing. Difficult, to say the least. Since I had a JP wedding myself, I can understand the wish to keep it simple, but hey, I AM a mom. Flowers, cake, etc. just ( Read more... )

Heehee, no not angry. As long as you don't mind the occasional reining in, I guess we're fine.

Thanx for buying me all that stuff last night, BTW. The flowers are very pretty.

Given any thought to photographs? Ann says from her catering experience she feels that photos are the one expense worth bearing.

Actually we're just counting on digital cameras mostly. I've purchased a couple disposables mostly for Carl-the-runt (Gary's nephew) since I figure people tune him out well enough (he's 12) that he could get some good candid shots... if he can avoid taking pictures of food and stuff. Heehee.

Mostly we're just trying to keep this as relaxed and informal as possible. And nothing makes me tenser than being photographed. *grin*

Sounds like a plan. Any thoughts about video? When we got married Ann took photos at the wedding and her then boyfriend video taped it (actually, she wanted to break up with him awhile before the wedding, but had promised me he would video tape it, and so kept it going until just past that day) and that's about my favorite keepsake from that day.

Well, we're getting a video camera from his parents that day, but other than that, I don't believe so.

If they have guest take pics at the wedding- which I'm sure will be short-
maybe they could just go to Proex and have a formal wedding portrait done.
They should have at least one professional pic.
