I had the pleasure of making a video of my niece's wedding last week.  She had a beautiful, small ceremony with just immediate family.  I edited the video and she screened it at the Saturday night party.

Of course it was a pleasure because I had the chance to spend time with family.  But here are some of the other things I think she did right:
 

-  She and Eric asked "why" with each decision they made to make sure they were adding meaning, not just work.
 
- They kept me informed (for example - "we'll be starting our first dance in a few minutes.")
 
- They hired ice cream truck to come to the reception!

Here is the video, congratulations Melissa & Eric!
