As a rule, I avoid posting wedding memes that are making the rounds elsewhere (this video was on CNN and the couple appeared on Good Morning America and the Today Show, for goodness sake!), but I've received so many dozens of emails about this that I don't think I have any choice.

So I'll wave my little white editorial standards flag in surrender and just say, for those of you who may have missed this elsewhere, here's Jill & Kevin's wonderful dancing wedding entrance video:

We distributed the video mostly by email (can you say majorly budget friendly?) and then sent a few people DVDs if they didn't have email. Feedback was really positive (I was actually told it was "cuter than puppies and kittens") and it was a ton of fun to make.

One of my dearest friends in the world, Megan Hill, just launched her new 8mm wedding film company: Hello Super8! I'm a 15-year fan of Megan's visual aesthetic — she designed the invitations and stickers for our wedding and also designed my business cards. And her taste in music? She was one of our wedding DJs!

Therefore, you can imagine my excitement to see Megan combine her retro-modern eye and funky-ass musical ear to the world of Super 8 wedding films … and I'm absolutely in love with her concept of the Hello Guestbook. You've got to see for yourself:

Although Hello Super 8 is based in New York and London, Megan travels all over for her wedding films … now, would someone in Seattle pleeeeease book her so that I can crash your wedding as her "assistant"?!

This isn't about weddings, but it totally relates — you'll see. And then you will laugh and laugh.
