Best friends Wedding - Need help

jodlebug

At one of the bridesmaids weddings last year, the wedding party did a video of all the wedding party dancing around and singing.

They played it after the speeches. Problem is there is pressure to do something unique and special for the one who is getting married in a couple of months.

~obviously cant do the same, any suggestions greatfully received.

What about doing a montage of lots of photographs of the couple seperately, together, with friends etc and putting it together with some music? I know I would love something like that! You could put some funny ones in there along with some more romantic ones. You could probably do it without them knowing too if you just got each of their families to dif out some photo's and you and the rest of the wedding party.

You could get them put on a cd or something like a slideshow and show it on a projector.

not sure about how you would do it but it's an idea!

:T Thats a good idea. I think this is going to fall to me so not sure how to do it onto CD but worth looking into

Thanks

You can get windows moviemaker for free I think if you go down the movie/slideshow route. Just import all the pics or video clips and you can add music and arrange order etc. Then you can burn the files to dvds or recordable cds etc. Its pretty good.

Ive got xp but they might do it for other versions also.

you COULD do the same thing - that's how traditions start - otherwise you will have to come up with something new for the next wedding...and the next...

my best friend made a great calender up of lots of pics of us for our engagement. she obviously had photos from her own camera of us over the years that she could use but one way she got lots of good pics of us in different settings was by copying them from my bebo/facebook page!

Just a thought!

I think the slideshow idea is a good one. You could try and source pictures of the couple when they were young to add to the mix. Add the slideshow to something like Take That, Rule the world, ok I know it's cheesy.
