My brother's fiance is a wedding photographer. Pricing might be different in Hawaii than in the Twin Cities, but I could put you in touch with her if you want. Drop me an e-mail and I'll send you her contact info.
It's a fair price, but I think it's good to have flexibility. One of my reactions that was negative was "it would take a whole year to get the digital negatives? ugh". I realize that this is probably to protect your status as printer-of-photographs as well as everything else involving taking and producing the photos. Still, would you be willing to give up the negatives earlier for a price? I don't need your answer, but one of your potential clients might. How would adding or removing photo books change the price? etc. You don't have to offer such a la carte options, but be prepared to negotiate with people on a budget.
Yikes, no, I'd never just dump them all without winnowing out the bad ones first!
The problem with this approach is that it would instantly make me look like I was a lot more expensive than other photographers, even if it balances out to me not being. Most photographers actually keep the digital negatives forever, so if you want pictures ever, you have to go back to them.

And our wedding was really small. 18 people, including us and the rabbi.
