why record?

If you were told a film existed of your grandparents' or your parents' wedding, would you seek it out?  What value would you place on such a thing?
 
Would the film be considered a rare family keepsake?
 
When I go out to tape a wedding, I like to think I'm documenting today's event for future generations.  A wedding video is not only for the couple getting married that day.  It's also for their children, and their grandchildren, and beyond.

This is an image of my parents on their wedding day in 1950, with their parents beside them.  No tape exists, of course, but I wish I could hear their voices and watch their expressions as they moved through the day. I wish I could watch their first dance.Louisville, KY 40204
