"More sentimental"
Letters/VO
Editing & Composition – talk on next call
Ceremony is important
Will have more thoughts once timeline is ready
"Whatever you think is going to be great"
"A little bit of prep works, but don't need to see a lot of that"
"Looking forward to speeches the most" – work the speeches in as much as we can!
"non-religious ceremony" but speeches are from "non-religous people" so we want to avoid religion-centered speeches in the video
Writing own vows, "if they turn out good" want them in the feature.
