Hiya,

I bought a camcorder last week I soooo wanted one for ages. So last night me has the bright idea of starting a video of from now until and including the wedding. Titled Wedding Diary. Just things like why I choose things and how and how we feel about stuff etc, showing favours and candles.

I am not doing everyday just every now and again I am taking it when h2b goes to try his new outfit on and when I have my first fitting and when bridesmaid has her fitting etc. So in years to come we can look back and have a valuable record of everything out thought and feelings. like my dad's films of us as children possibly meant nothing then but now are treasures.

what do you think ? anyone else doing it ?

That sounds like a fab idea!!

I've been keeping a written one on my wedding webpages through C******i but a video will certainly be something to look back on fondly.

Make sure you get all the stressed moments too when you feel like pulling all your hair out !!!!

I am glad you like the idea

what a great idea!!! we have done something similiar to this with my son. We film him for a day every few mths to have tapes of how he has changed so much already when he is only 20mths now. I just love watching the vid we have from when he was born as he was so tiny and so much has happened since then. I think its a lovely idea and in time to come youll love watching all the memorable moments.

Sounds like a great idea!!!

I was toying with the idea myself, but I sound funny on videos so I thought better of it. Nearer the time to the wedding I may start keeping a diary sort of thing, noting down all the details, piccies of my dress and bridesmaids etc.

Collette, I love the idea of videoing your son, is a nice thing to keep from his childhood!!
