Hey shavers,
This wedding prep lark is never-ending... Colour co-ordination. Turns out my Reception 'outfit' doesn't match with the future Misses'. Hers is a salmon-coloured fish-taily sort of thing with SILVER 'bits' . And mine is a 3 piece ivory with salmon tie and GOLD waistcoat. Sounds a bit flash and pimp-y , but trust me it's not. Then there's the entrance music, cake cutting music, first dance music . starter timings, mains timings...list just goes on and on. Arghhhhhh!
Anyway....
My wedding is only a week away now and I have 2 major things to complete.
My soon-to-be brother in law has pulled out of doing his speech as he can't overcome his stage fright. So, I've convinced my litte brother/sister to say a few words. They'd like to do a 2-3 minute slideshow.
I came across this

The MAIN things we liked about the above video is the way
1. the pictures 'flew' in nicely
2. you can add music (come to think of it, this is not a major issue cos we can get our DJ to play the music)
3. the text that came in between the pictures, means my lil bro/sis don't have to speak.
4. the way it ZOOMs into a certain part of a pic during the slide show
1. Do any of you guys know of any fool-proof software that can do something like that in the video above?
They didn't want to use powerpoint which they use in school because it doesn't look as "cool" as the vid in the link. I've just spent the last few hours in sheer panic in the freezing cold loft, looking for some of my baby pictures and am scanning them in right now for the slideshow.
I'm also absolutely shi**ing myself over the first dance. My dad's sorted it so the lights will dim and a spot light will be on us. bloody hell. I have 2 left feet. Tomorrow afternoon onwards I intend to watch youtube clips of strictly come dancing and try to pick one of the 'easier' dances from the show. I can't do a 'boring' first dance (holding hands and standing in the same spot). It has to be a little bit fancy. Though, I probably couldn't even manage a boring one without stepping on her feet. God help me.
2. Anyone know of software that will easily let me rip a youtube clip to .AVI format or DVD format ?
Meeting her next week for 2 days to practise. Only place I can think of is the garden. Both our places are small. She is also going to ring her uni to see if we can use one of the drama rooms to practise in.
Anyone have any other ideas on where to practise for free/cheap-ish ?
I don't want to bug family because the one's with the big livign rooms, won't let me stop hearing about they "saved me".
In other news, I have learnt that hiring a fancy car costs a BOMB.
And in shaving news, I got a merkur progress. It's nice, but I really shouldn't have swapped my merkur 34c for it, as it's something new to learn and not the best decision a week before the all-important 'wedding shave'.
Any help you provide will be very much appreciated!
Massive thank you in advance,
Sonny
ps. REV, send me your address!
