Re: [Leica] Leicas and wedding

Don't make it so complicated.

One M-6 with one 35mm ASPH for each of you.

Lots and lots of film	(Fuji G 800 )

and lots of imagination.

By the time you get through your equipment list - they will be back from
the honeymoon.
 
Since you will be the "side photographers" get the "side images", that is
where the best and most memorable images will be anyway.

Cheers,
