I kind of wonder what it would be like if you did this at your wedding and 20 years from now you sit there and watch the video with your own kids. would you be embarrassed? proud and happy to show your kids that at one time you were so young and full of energy?
I look back at my parents' video and enjoy the solemnity of it. they're truly happy yet also manage to convey the importance of the journey they are about to embark on together. seeing how fondly my mom watches that video, I think i'd like that as well
nah, i don't think it'd be embarrassing.
i love watching wedding videos. my parents don't have one. apparently, they got married in a little bit of a rush. there's not much photographic evidence either. none that i've seen anyway. i've only ever seen pics from shortly after they were married.
i recently saw one of my friend's shaadi videos and the tension during the nikkah was palpable. ahhhhhhh.
i don't think i'd want lights and cameras on me during my nikkah.

i wonder if you can get somebody else to sign the contract on your behalf? i'm afraid i wouldn't be able to do it with a steady hand.

i'd probably cry just from the jitteriness of it all. but generally, nikkahs tend to be private ceremonies, right? that was the first one on film i ever saw.
