A pre wedding video is a pretty recent phenomenon, but gaining in popularity. The main idea behind it is to tell the love story of the couple being married.
It’s no longer enough to keep a written diary, journal, or love letters between the couple. The love evolution has resulted in love stories being told on film. Some videos tell the story of how the couple met and fell in love, shows footage of their families and even their childhoods, highlights important dates in their relationship, and may document the planning of their wedding and the days and hours before the nuptials. The pre wedding video is sometimes shown at the reception, or may just be shown to close friends and family.
As if brides and grooms didn’t have enough to do planning their wedding, now they’re adding another layer of “to do’s” with a pre wedding video. But one that is well-done is beautiful to watch, and will be a perfect keepsake for the bridal couple and their children in the years to come. There have even been a few such videos that have gone viral on You Tube in the past year.
But should you have a pre wedding video done? Here are some considerations:
- Is something like this important to you? Don’t do something just because a lot of other people are doing it. It needs to mean something to you so that it won’t be an irritation when shooting of the video begins and people are asking you questions about how the two of you met, etc.
- Do you have the time? Even if you hire someone to do the video for you, they won’t be able to complete it without a lot of input from you.
- Where are you going to show it? Are you just having the video done for the bridal couple or do you plan to show it to others? Are you a private person who will redden when a video starring you flashes onto the screen?
- Can you afford the added cost and added stress? Do you want the added cost and added stress?
Pre wedding videos can be wonderful to watch again and again on your future anniversaries. It can only be done before your wedding, so decide today if you want to add it to your celebration of love.
