Play It Again, Sam

In the mail yesterday I received the dvd of the wedding. Cheryl and I had decided that we would split the cost of a videographer for the wedding. The kids didn't want to incur the cost, but we thought that rather than ask some relatives to videotape the wedding events, having someone else do it would ensure a better end result. Plus then our relatives could enjoy the day instead of viewing everything through the lens of a camera. It was really fun to watch the video some three months after the wedding. When Jim and I got married 30 years ago, videotaping wasn't even an option. In hindsight, I wish we would have at least had the ceremony audiotaped. When you are in the excitement of the moment, it is hard to recall what was done and said after the fact. I would love to be able to hear us celebrating our vows, and to listen to the music sung so beautifully by two friends of ours. So I'm glad we have the dvd of Andy's wedding to share with those who were unable to make the trip to Indiana, and I know that Andy and Megan will treasure being able to replay one of life's biggest moments.
