Month #2 Started Off...

Frankly, kind of rocky. Hence the lack of posts :( I didn't want to be a total downer on my wedding blog. Anyway, sorry for the lack of updates. Here's where we are now...

Videography
At the moment, we are focusing on catering and videography. I'll talk a bit about videography first. We figured it'd be a good idea to remember our wedding via moving pictures as well. However, video isn't really one of our priorities. So we're not going to go all out on that (by booking someone like Cloud Nine Creative) like we did with photography. Here's our list videography contestants:

1. Bailey's Video Studio
   
2. Cosmo Computer & Photo Imaging
3. Realistically Fictional Productions
4. Laura Ann Cinema

We also considered Hello Tomorrow, but they're a bit outside our budget. We've met with the first two videographers already. We're meeting with contestant #3 tomorrow night. As for #4, we're still waiting to hear back from Laura. So far, here are the lessons I've learned about videography:

• find a videographer who can work well with your photographer -- you don't want these two to clash
• style is important -- I admit, I am cheezy/corny/lame etc at times but I don't want my wedding video to look like that
• quality -- I saw some videos that looked like amateur footage that was just edited to look like one continuous feed *shakes head*
• make sure you can communicate and work well with your videographer -- if you can't work well with them, you probably won't like them

Catering
So this was the cause of my stress. Why? Because there were more things about catering than I anticipated. Things like:

• restaurants who cater want to have access to a kitchen so they can prep stuff; UBC Boathouse doesn't have cooking equipment
• UBC Boathouse requires a catering license
• we may have to do a buffet dinner

Yes, I realize that there's nothing really to stress about. The stress I'm talking about only exists because of me. Anyway, I couldn't seem to get past it :( Then I had an awesome idea! We'll just call off the wedding and elope! Just kidding. The awesome idea is to delegate! So it's now D's burden responsibility. Just so everyone knows, if there's no food at the wedding, blame D :P Anyway, by me delegating to him, it just means he has to do all the research and communicate with the caterers. He can figure out the logistics, etc. Maybe D can write a post on this blog on his progress *hint hint*

Ok, I am going to sleep now. If there's one thing you should take away from this posting, it is this: delegating is awesome.
