oh ok, because from Michael's email, he makes it sound like i have to pay before i even get to the resort.

We paid 2 days before the wedding, but maybe that has changed.

There were 2 things I didn't like: 1. they add music to the video in editing so I couldn't hear the steel drums we hired to play. 2. the graphics they add to the video are a bit cheesy. But overall I was glad I got it and my family that couldn't make it to Jamaica were glad I got it too.

Thanks for the info Mo, the video you got made, I know he tapes the actual ceromony, but whats in the video before and after the vows? Does he start the video as you walk down the asile? or does he start with other footage, ie: coming from your room? After the vows are taped, does he follow Michael around and take video of picture taking? Just not sure how the video gets to be 25 mins, if the vows dont take that long
I want to get a video made just unsure of what to expect and also I read somewhere you can add your own music in mp3 format, did you do this? Thank you so much Mo, you're a wealth of information :)

I highly recommend getting the video - its so worth it. He did an awesome job!!!! I was not expecting all the music, photo's, editing, etc... that he did. It's absolutely worth the $300!!!!

For all the previous brides that got the video.... How many songs did you take? I want to bring enough so they don't have some cheezy song that I won't like. Any good song ideas? Also if I have them on a CD will that work for them to transfer them to the video? Thank you for all your help!

More questions about the video...it says "within 48 hours". If our ceremony is on Friday and we fly out Sunday, do you think it would still be ready in time? What was the turnaround for you brides that had it done? Also, if you add on an hour, does that make the video longer? Or is it the same length of time?
