I *was* a bit concerned, even though I'm not the groom! 8^> Actually, he
tended to be looking at the groom more, with much the same expression...

I don't think I have any of the actual ceremony where I forgot to set the spot
metering, but I do have one or two in the lodge (with the same background of
snowpack viewed through landscape windows) where I accidentally used auto only,
and while it did a mighty job, it was ultimately unable to deal with the strong
backlighting. I'll try to hunt down one of these goof-ups and post it as a
"compare and contrast" [no pun intended] photo.
