WedVidTalk is coming up on the second Anniversary and we've developed some plans for the future. We hope to make it easier  to talk to you with the blog. So, welcome to Wedding Video Talk -  The Blog.

Who thought up this name? Blog. Sounds like someone is sick. Not as bad as Podcast, which makes people think that someone from a Pod is coming to take them away, but still, don't marketing people ever get in on the early stages to make these tools at least sound attractive? Try as I might I can't come up with another name. It acts like a newsletter but it is so much more. If you can think of a better name, please let us know! When you email us, we answer you directly. But, so many more people may benefit from the same information that we hope to use the blog to answer questions, have discussions and generally, shoot the breeze.

As I write, we are working with our web designer to update the site (it's two years old already and news a fresh coat of paint.) We want to make it easier to navigate, easier to understand what a podcast is and how to listen to it and we want to make it nicer to look at. We're also working with someone to get sponsorship of the shows so we can keep it going well into the future.

A little background about us. I am one of 7 kids that grew up in Brooklyn, NY. My dad was a Sgt. in NYC police department as was his dad, and one of his sons.  I come from a long line of blue! My mom was a mortgage origination clerk and had quite a full career in banking. She introduced one of her sons to the girl she was training, at our wedding Easter Sunday, April 10, 1977. He married her and now they have 8 children! My family had three boys, four girls. I was number 6 out of the 7 which is why I have the loudest voice. We have 27 nieces and nephews on my side of the family. Al is one of 2 boys, he also grew up in Brooklyn. He was in ROTC right our of College and got to working on getting rid of his Brooklyn accent as a result of that experience. His parents had an import business while he was growing up so he got to learn several languages. His mom became a teacher later in life, getting her Masters Degree well into her 50's. Al's brother has three children and two step children. We have 8 nieces and nephews on this side of the family. So, in total there are 35 nieces and nephews. I mention this because I'm always sharing stories about a niece or nephew. They are many and vary in age from 42 to 1 year old.  Al and I are married 30 years next month. We don't have children, but we are great at being an aunt and an uncle.

We hope to talk about the passion it takes to do what we do in this blog, to celebrate the triumphs and to also share the pain.
