1. it was a beautiful and fitting ceremony.

2. I also had to be different, and now I'm all worried about it. I couldn't be bothered to download and learn a screen capture program, so I just hit ALT-PrtSc and Ctrl-V until my fingers were black and blue (in retrospect, maybe i should have just pressed the buttons instead of hitting them all the time). So, all your screen captures are in a Word doc, because it was the easiest thing i could think of to Ctrl-V them into. Now I'm worried that you can't use it in that format, so if you can't, let me know and I'll try to figure out how to get them out and into a more useable format - 23 pictures for the short video, and 93 pictures for the long one.

Here is a trick I figured out at work:

1. Turn the word doc into a PDF.

2. Import the PDF images into Photoshop.

Presto. Individual images.

If you have neither program, send me the word doc, and I'll convert 'em for you. Won't take long at all.

Admit it. You are made of magic!

thanks for the tip! I have photoshop at home and pdf-creator thing at work, so i ended up playing around a little, and found an even faster way, in case you ever need it:

just save the word doc in web page format, and it automatically takes all the images out and saves them as jpegs in a little folder. totally awesome - thanks for the inspiration!

I learned a few things by this stage:

1. yellow bathingsuits combined with large bathrobs on windy days aren't insanely flattering
2. when I get really sad I laugh...which I kidna already knew, but it was weird to watch it in this video
3. Mikey's a damn fine fella, "clearning out the freezer" and the jacket part at the end of the long video gets me every time (so does the line about the penis in the freezer...which you can only hear it if you turn it up really loud at the end)

I'd follow Lauren's directions below! I'm super excited to see what you wound up with!

I sent the pictures yesterday (i think). couldn't remember which address, so i sent them to the fluff address. let me know if the zip doesn't work.
