Redefining Tradition
We aren't traditional so we knew we'd do something a bit wacky.
It was JR's idea and prolly a joke. But I ran with it.
Directly to my gal Lauren Bultz.
She called in her troops.
Mikey Reider, (of Easy M Productions) you rock my world.
The beginning of our bond. Mikey is drinking out of a 'Liana' mug.
We also gathered our troops. In November, about 30 of our nearest and dearest came over to film something that they thought, because that's what they were told, was a video to be shown at our wedding.
But we had different plans.
And with Lauren 'Funny Girl' Bultz's professional coaching and direction, cinematographer/sound/lighting man Josh Usheroff, and editor extraordinaire Mikey Reider, the dye was cast.
That is how we roll. I love you so much. Thank you SO much.
After many a bagel, lox and cream cheese, and 8 hours later, the footage was complete.
Then the real work began. The collaboration between Lauren and Mikey and Jeff and myself.
Mikey took 8 hours of footage and compressed it into 6 minutes. That my friends is incredible. And he did it brilliantly. Added perfect music and pictures. We had input, took some things out, added others, tried to make sure everyone was featured around the same amount.
And my mother. Oh Rozzie, how nervous you were. So untraditional, so weird, but so us. Thank you for your faith. I know you had your doubts but with Mikey and Lauren at the helm, I knew all along that we'd be OK.
And OK we are. We are thrilled! Love love love how it turned out.
Thank you Eric Berman for the gorgeous website!!!!!!!!!! U rule Rick Bro.
In case you aren't invited to our wedding, we sent out a beautiful formal invitation directing people to our website. And for those electronically challenged folk, we sent out a traditional invite. Actually, if you click on 'save the date' on the site, that's what we sent to the fogies :)
So, I must share. Because we love it and are so excited. If you are invited, don't forget to send your reply cards back! Stat!
