This may sound strange. I'm not having the wedding video taped b/c of budget issues. But I want to know, since you actually didn't see the whole cermoney because you were the last to walk in. Do you feel like you missed out on your cermony.

Heavens no......... your wedding is about you and your husband. It's the most special day of your life (next to having your child) but it's fun and everyone makes you feel so important. It's funny though because you think about it for so long and how beautiful it will be, and then it's over in a day. I had mine taped and believe me I'd rather of just remembered it in my mind. I have my niece screaming down the aisle and throughout the whole ceremony. Memories are better than video. As far as what you miss since you're the last one down the aisle, you're not missing anything but people being seated and waiting for that one beautiful woman to walk in. YOU are the main attraction and you will be so busy in a back room somewhere wondering if everything is perfect. The ceremony begins when YOU walk in.

Yes it is totally out of hand. Weddings and all that goes into them are today a bit overrated when 85% of them won't last past the first 2 years. I am not trying to rain on your parade but all the stress going into a marriage should be spent getting to know each other making sure this is the one. If you are asking this question then you are planning to marry someone that you already disagree with. Have you spoken to her about how you feel? To be honest women go through all of this to be too tired to even enjoy being married until days after the wedding then after all the hoopla is over then comes the what do I do now? You can probably understand this better as the hunter chasing after the game, and once he has bagged it all the spark is lost. Lets not forget the fact that most marriages end because of finances, and most weddings cost what a couple could live comfortably off of for a year. I am really not trying to rain on your parade but I have been there too many times and I counsel people before and after marriages and in my counsel I try to break them up, or at least let them see what they are truly facing and that perfect day will be just a memory of a couple of hours just a couple of hours after it starts then comes real life and you. So it would be my advice to talk to your fiance, and if you haven't went to counseling then do, because that is more important than planning a perfect day, what about a perfect life until death do you part.

I was really absolutely anti wedding videos and let it be known that I didn't want anyone to tape the actual ceremony. There were obviously people who taped other parts of the day though, and I never intended to watch any until I came face to face with the issue, and couldn't really refuse. I absolutely loved reliving the day and can't wait to watch it again. I would hate to watch the ceremony, but it was great to see video of the day- I'm sure you have friends with video cameras just let it be known that you would like some footage and I'm sure they will comply. It's not about a proffessional standard, but about memories, friends and family, so whatever they take will be fun to watch!
We went to a wedding a while ago, and got sent a dvd of their wedding after as a thank you. While I appreciate the thought, I'm just not that interested in watching it, and don't suppose I ever will, so I think professionals are a HUGE waste of money. What a shame for them- I wonder how many of the DVDs they sent out will get watched.

Do you know anyone with a camera that takes videos?
Please, whatever you do, have your wedding taped. I didn´t think it was important, until a few weeks after, and I got to see all that happened. Otherwise, I went through the whole thing kinda in a daze.
We watch the tape about once a week, and sometimes I watch it when we´re not getting along, as a reminder of the promise I made.

The ceremony doesn't start until the bride and groom are at the altar, so you don't miss anything!
However, reconsider having a video done. Ask around to family and friends to see if someone can do it. We didn't have a professional, and have a combined video of what two people filmed.

To be honest, I did have a video taken of my wedding and afterwards, I decided it had been a big waste of money! Of course, I had a very small wedding party, with only 1 bridesmaid and 1 groomsman, so I really didn't miss much.
On top of that, the quality of the video I recieved wasn't very good and I've only watched it once.
Good luck!

my sister recently got married and didn't have the wedding video taped because she wanted to save money..but she is perfectly fine with that decision. she got a really good photographer so she has a ton of pictures which is just like seeing the whole thing. plus now she will never see me standing up there crying

my wedding was a nightmare. i didn't get a honeymoon because family issues (his family).. So were having a renewal of vows for our 10th and this time.. the only people who are going to be there will be our children!! With the amount of money we spent we could have had a great time in vegas. definitely spend the money on a good photographer. good luck.

Nah. My husband said there were a few mistakes, so I'm glad I missed that. We didn't have a videographer, but I do wish someone was able to film the part in our reception when my husband surprised me by singing our sing. I'm not sure how many times I would watch it, but it would have been nice, because the photos don't due justice.

Absolutely not. I didn't have a video either but it doesn't matter. The video would not have captured one of the most important things, our feelings. The anxiety, the joy, the love. That's something I'll always remember, video or no video.
