Project Binder for
Groom
Switching team to David & Dylan because Dylan has better audio and the couple's setup is going to be a mess. Plan on mic'ing the bride, groom, and officiant for the ceremony if possible. Do whatever is easiest and will get the best results for the reception.

Party Details: very small, one person each. Friends.
Couple has daughter, will have flower girl. 13 months at time of wedding?
Both parents will be there, but they are not married to eachother (on both sides!). There are two step mothers. Her mom & dad don't like eachother and havne't seen eachother in like 20 years, so that might be icky. Caitlin has requested that "my father's wife be in it as little as possible"
