Preserving Wedding Memories and Special Moments	Statements "overheard" from brides who chose to have their wedding videotaped:
" I once had a conversation with my MOH's father, and he said how sad he is that he can't remember the details of his wedding, and I made up my mind right there that I would have someone video ours."
	"I can't wait for my video. Some people say its not worth it b/c they'd only watch it once. I am not one of those people. I think I'll watch it several times and love that I'll be able to share it with our children and grandchildren in the future." "I was not going to do it and I changed my mind at the last minute. I am SO HAPPY I did - you forget stuff and pictures dont do it justice."

"...I like the thought of having a video. You can't take photos of the vows or the speeches at the reception."

" Being that I just received my video from my Dec wedding I can say its worth every penny. We just booked a basic package and I am so glad we went for it. I remember lots from the day- but it passes so quickly and its nice to really see who was all there and how all the events came together. I love watching the reception part and seeing all my crazy friends and family having a good time. There was so many times during the reception I was talking to guests or busy doing something else that I didn't even know certain songs were even played! I know people have budgets- but I strongly recommend a video. I now wish we had gotten a more upgraded package b/c I love it so much. I probably have watched it over 10x and Ive been married just 1 month tomorrow!"

"Since I have watched videos from both my parents AND my grandparents weddings, I definitely wanted a video! Friends & relatives are not going to be around forever. I never got to meet my grandfather, but it was AMAZING & unbelievable to be able to seem him on the video of my grandparents wedding. VERY different from just seeing a picture. I want our children and grandchildren to be able to experience the same thing."

"Our photographs are very very beautiful, don't get me wrong, but they just stare back up at us, they don't have the same emotion as our video."

"I regret not having gotten one [professional video]. Although 4 people had their own personal videocamera, none of them had a decent video. It's worth the money."
