Slide show before announcement at wedding

The place I am getting married has a screen to have a mini slide show of you and your fh growing up and dating etc. before you come in for the formal announcement by the band. I thought at first it was a little cheesy but now might be having second thoughts about doing it. Of course fh thinks I am nuts as he always does when I have another suggestion about planning the wedding! Has anyone ever seen this? If so or if you have any ideas, do you think all of the pics should be of me and my fh or should I put in family member pics? Should it just be played with music from the band in the background or should I tape a narrative that goes along with the show? If so who should narrate, me and my fh? or my brother or someone not related? Thanks for your thoughts!

We did a video montage of Pat and me growing up and dating, and it was played during dinner. Everyone loved it! My husband is a police officer, and when a picture of him at his promotion ceremony was shown, everyone cheered. It was such a great moment, one that I will never forget.
As far as elegance, I like to think I had a very nice wedding. It was exactly as I had always hoped it would be, and everyone enjoyed themselves. If it happened to be elegant along the way, so be it, but I wasn't setting out to host the social event of the century, just the love of two very happy people. That said, do what you and your fh think will be most special. You truly can't go wrong that way.
