OK, this is hilarious, but I found these two dudes from my film club in college on the knot (I was the president, of course). The guys do wedding/corporate video now, but I remember them as kids who were obsessed with horror movies. I HAVE to have them do my wedding, and I can get a good 2-camera package for under $1,500 from them, so I am excited. I e-mailed them today: Emerald Productions. I hope we can somehow work fake blood into the video... we ARE having sharks at the wedding...
About.com had an article today on the "Top 5 Biggest Wedding Money Wasters". Here is how Matt and I rate according to the article on the top 5, which are:
1.)Meaningless and Expensive Wedding Favors - we want to donate to a charity instead. Our do-gooder friends and family will be into that.
2.)Endless Bride and Groom Swag - I DO want that "Sexy Little Bride" hoodie from Victoria's Secret. I'll admit it. I'M FROM NEW JERSEY. But I refuse to buy it for myself, so it's not coming from the wedding fund, at least. I also can't find anything that says "Soon to be Ms. ____" on it, they all say "Soon to be MRS. _____" and I refuse to be Mrs. anything. CALL ME MS.
3.)Huge Wedding Cakes - I am really so not into the cake, I know ours will be simple and tasty. Not some huge $500 structure that took a week to make and is now stale.
4.)Too Many Mementos - I do want the video, I know I'll watch it (my family were always big video/photo people)but I not intend to buy any personalized pens or cake cutters or stuff like that.
5.)Too Many Bridesmaids and Groomsmen - Well, I have three sisters, what do you want? 6 Bridesmaids is a lot, but I feel very good about my decision in this regard. Honestly, I wanted more, but Matt insisted on just having his three brothers, so more than twice the amount of maids to groomsmen seemed really excessive.
How do you rate with these top 5?

i'm undecided on favors. if i get them i'll probably get them made in the philippines. and i'm going for the ever so trendy cupcake tower (the venue was going to charge me extra to plate and cut and serve, so i said f that!).
no favors, though we might do out of town bags, which technically to me counts as favors. i mean, they're gifts, right?
small cake, small wedding party, no branded schwag... any surprise?

I think cupcake towers are a good trend - they are cute and cake cutting fees are stupid.
T, I TOTALLY think they count.
btw i know the woman who writes stupid wedding crap. i write for another one of her blogs, heateatreview.com. weird.
