Family Connections… Part II

September 30th, 2007 @ 3:58 pm by Mrs. Onion

As I mentioned in a previous post, we shared a photo slide show with our guests at the reception and it was very well received. I think our families enjoyed seeing childhood photos of both of us as well as photos of themselves (we had a photo of almost every single guest). After the historic and childhood photos we moved on to photos of us with our friends and family during our courtship, and finally some engagement photos. Enjoy!

I would highly recommend the photo slide show. It’s very personal and a great break in the evening. We didn’t have a “dancing hour” per se, so we showed the video while people were eating their cake toward the end of the evening. It was a great diversion. I narrated a bit as we went along and it made people laugh. Definately on my list of “Things we did right!”

We are planning on doing a slideshow, and I’m glad to hear yours got such a warm reception. The pictures look great! One question, did you use any music?

Inka — We did use music. We set the slide show to a great pianist, Bill Evan’s version of “There is no greater love” which was performed at our ceremony by a dear friend who is a singer and our guitarist, Brendan Burns. It would be too somber without music.
