Country Weddings Blog

There's often one or two things that stand out for me at each wedding I film, and its not always the obvious like a fabulous dress, cool cars, fantastic reception and so on and while this wedding had all of those things; the highlight for me was to see how involved everyone was from both sides of the family, not one detail was missed and it was clear that it really was a team effort from everybody involved - pulled together with much love and support. The above clip is their highlights; selecting the music for this clip was quite a challenge as the selection Peter and Crystal used on the day was quite varied! They had everything from the traditional Pachelbel's Canon for the processional, the Beatles, right through to Pearl Jam and even Metallica! I've never used a Metallica song in a wedding film before, and even though the version in this clip is instrumental...I still think its rockin' !! Yes I did just say rockin.... Sorry if that sounded lame...but Metallica + wedding....coo

Hi Guys,
I feel it is my unfortunate duty to inform any and all wedding specialists that there is a scam currently going around involving wedding planning.

I was contacted by email recently from a man wishing to plan his wedding through Country Weddings. He was from overseas and wished to plan his wedding in our area.

I original thought it was a bit strange and asked him for more information, wanting to find out if it was Wagga that he was interested in as i told him i felt a bit dubious about his request. After several emails he had almost convinced me of his request. I had already searched the internet for his name and didnt find any scam information. It wasnt until i double checked the time difference in his emails from the country he said he was emailing from that i got a bit more worried as it was always at a strange time (from his country) that he was emailing me- and eventually when he gave me his phone number i searched the net for the number and came up with another wedding website informing people of the scam.....so PLEASE be careful.

For more information on this scam you can take a look at another blog that has lots more information on it.
