Well, they didn't exactly say that... I was paraphrasing my wife who
was suggesting that this wouldn't be a good time to try out some
relatively new equipment.  :-)

I'd assumed they'd taken my "for goddess' sake get a pro" advice, and
my wife assumed I knew that they'd decided not to.  The truth only
dawned on me this week.

It's a rather informal wedding--they've been shacked up for a while
anyhow.
