No, I think we'll have more important things to worry about than 
taking pictures! Sometimes life has to be lived, not photographed!
The reception is another matter, and yes, we will use B&W, both 
for its archival properties and because it just looks great. 
For Ted: I, for one, won't be using flash ;-).

(On the other hand, Stephanie recently attended a wedding where the
photographer had to use a Nikonos! It was a SCUBA wedding, with the 
bride's lobster boat [which doubles as a licensed research vessel] 
as dive platform.)

BTW, thanks to all who responded so warmly to my original post.
