No One Wants to Watch Your Same-Day Wedding Video at the Reception
In DepthHere’s something rude that you should absolutely know: No one wants to watch your fucking wedding video. Not your guests, not your maid of honor, not your best man, and probably not even your parents. Let’s be real here—not even you want to watch your wedding video half the time, so what the fuck is up with same-day video edits? And why are people even considering doing something so awful?
The Huffington Post posted a (hopefully, but probably not) satirical article today in which Carmen Feliciano waxed poetic about same-day editing, which isn’t as heavy as the kind of editing you’d usually get for a wedding video but has the “benefit” of letting guests watch the ceremony they just watched live during the reception. Kind of like an instant replay, except the instant replay is of an event you’re at, with the people who just got married sitting right there, and also the instant replay is boring as hell because no matter how exciting your wedding entrance is, friend, I have never seen a wedding ceremony that didn’t bore me to tears. And yes, I am including those ceremonies that I have officiated and participated in. It’s special for the bride and groom, of course, but no one else really cares and—I can’t get over this—your guests just saw the whole thing go down. What kind of just-married monsters would make their friends and family watch the tape of their wedding again?
