There's another one on the print version.

Article here (http://www.smh.com.au/news/bridal/grooms-with-a-view/2007/11/22/1195321952060.html)


Thanks to a marvellous newspaper database I have access to, I managed to get some screengrabs (they don't let you save images). Here's some dodgy bmps I cobbled together on MSPaint. I have included the broken up files in this zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?7ycy1h1xgrm), so anyone else can try and piece them together better than I have.

So here are my versions:

I would recommend downloading the zip as I think tinypic have compressed them slightly there. I could be wrong though.

Actually, not scary when you detatch the veil in your mind's eye! More like *squee*!! Yes indeed. Is that a pair of Doc's or Bata Scouts?:lol:

I wonder if he will write about this? It would be a brilliant read, provided Annie gives it the OK! Anyone else got a wedding video they've never bothered to watch? Not even once?

I also wonder how they stopped his specs from polarising with all those photography lights. God, I think some strange things.

They're certainly chunky...at least Clark's school shoes were a little more lightweight.

I think I watched it once. I hate it. I hate the idea that it exists and I never gave my permission for my mother in law to make it. As far as I'm concerned it's illegal.

Well, my sister in law and my brother got me to make their wedding video when they got married back in 1996, and I spent hours editing it, making it look all professional and all that, and my sister in law has been pissed off with my brother when he accidentally taped over it with the 2000 AFL Grand Final, which tragically Melbourne lost! My brother made me promise not to tell her I kept a master copy....

My brother's best mate, though, accidentally taped over his son's ultrasound video, that would take some topping.....

At least yours was free, as with everything involved in my wedding nothing is under a thousand dollars. Word of advice never marry an Italian, bloody wogs and their elaborate tastes

Yeh, well, tell me I'm happy I spent hours working on my brother's wedding video for absolutely no payment whatsoever and as Mum put it, "for the love of your family", only to have him tape over it 4 years later and make me frigging LIE about the existence of a possibility of replacing it.....

My wedding was relatively low-key, but gee there's a lot that you're expected to have. My mum started talking to me about bonboniere and my other half and I were "What's bonboniere?" For the un-initiated, it's a box or bag or container with 5 sweets in it (usually sugared almonds). It's five because that's lucky or something. God knows. I said "Yeah" to that one because my mum seemed to like the idea, and I suppose it's nice for the guests to have something to take home (apart from the cake and the table centres and anything else that isn't nailed down at the reception venue). Ben Elton did a good routine about weddings in his 1997 stand-up tour. You'll howl with laughter if you've been through it.

yeah, I got an email about someone's 'bonboniere' about 2 months ago and I had to look it up on Google! It seemed to get a lot of Australian hits. I have received 'bonboniere' but I thought it was called wedding favours, or something.

My husband actually put our video on recently and watched it right through, I could only handle 5 minutes as it has a dead mother and grandmother in it, oh yes, and a excommunicated father as well. So I sneaked away, overwhelmed. Well didn't that just cause a shitstorm of an emotional ruckus?
And yes, mine was made illegally too. Much like a bootleg from the Far East.

Bonboniere is the best bit of weddings! I can't believe you are unfamiliar with them! I have received mini bottles of perfume, snowdomes, mini photoframes, boiled sweets with monograms and a mystery bet! Mine were just plain old Pink Lady chocs brought from the grumpiest factory outlet in the whole of Melbourne.

I can't believe that men bother to get involved in this twang at all. All they have to do is turn up on the day and refrain from shitting their pants.
