[Leica] My Kid's Wedding.....

[rmcclure2 at woh.rr.com (Rob McClure)]

Frank,

I can sympathize with you.  My daughter is getting married this summer 
lakeside at a historic Lake Erie resort.  Photo opportunities abound 
and not really being into the wedding scene (i.e. the movie "Father of 
the Bride"), I would prefer to be taking photos.  However, duty calls 
and it is hard getting shots while walking her down the aisle and 
giving her away.  You bet that I will have my M4-2 nearby and like 
Didier recommends, will be shooting later in the evening.  Everyone who 
knows me won't think this odd as I'm rarely seem without a camera.  The 
resort community is alcohol-free so I'm not sure how many antics there 
will be to shoot.
