That's why we didn't have it while we were dancing with our parents. Both times there was a montage, nothing else was going on.

We thought the guests would feel uncomfrtable too but they loved it!!! People were getting insulted if they weren't on it

I have heard of it from various video companies, but in my opinion it takes away from the elegance of the wedding.

Agreed...

I had actually seen it once at a wedding 2 years ago. IMO, it is more of a 'Sweet Sixteen' prop. I honestly didn't care for it.
To each his own... I do not think that is really good for a wedding. It is going to make the guest look there then looking at you getting married.

My dj offers this...they even have a video guy film the ceremony and they can replay it before you are announced into your ceremony. I loved the idea, but I didn't want to spend the extra $$$$. My MOH had a photo montage at her wedding and it was awesome.
