Years ago, when I first was able to see my Mom and Dad getting married on a Super 8mm film, it was amazing to me... Now, as my daughters watch their grandparents getting married, I watch as well, seeing faces from both my parents as well as my past who are no longer with us. It really brings to my mind how blessed my parents were to have someone there to capture these moments for us to share as a family over 40 years later.
