rpmar, first of all, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! And small town weddings don't come with a lot of dosh, that's for sure. I see what some photogs in the "big city" charge for a wedding and I would have to shoot 8 or so weddings to come close
Peter, augustmoon, and others,thanks for the great input. More excellent points to consider.
