Wedding Memories Revisited with Yes Video #MyMemoryLane

My wedding memories came back to life!

 My Memory Lane
I was married in the summer of 2001.  Memories of the day are ever present in my mind.  It was a rare high of 78 degrees in the middle of July and it was absolutely breath-taking.  I loved watching my video with my family and seeing everyone having a wonderful time.  There is one moment at the very end where my husband spins me around and all of our friends are dancing around us.  It is at the very end of my wedding video and it is done in slow motion.  I love this moment.  I love that I can revisit this memory over and over.
Just 13 years ago, it was standard for your videographer to give you are VCR tape of your wedding.  Or, for the low price of $1000, I could have upgraded to DVD.  After all the other money that we spent preparing for the wedding, I thought it best not to spend that last $1000.
A few years ago, my last VCR went kaput! That was it.  I loved sharing my wedding video with my girls and we debated over and over about getting another VCR even though it was the only thing we would need it for.  I then put them on a high shelf in my house for fear that my youngest might pull the tape of of the cartridge.
I thought about transferring my tapes to DVDs but I had not gotten around to it.  Before my VCR stopped working, I had watched parts with my girls, but they were little and could not sit through it all.
Yes Video
Seeing my movies online and on DVD made me so happy!  My girls are now 4, 8 and 11 so we were now able to watch together as a complete family.  It was bittersweet to see loved ones who had passed and share my memories of them with my girls.  Now that they were older, they began to understand better and enjoy all parts of the ceremony and reception.
 My mother is always amazed at the things you can do online so she was shocked when I share my video clip online with her. It is now so accessible that it is easy to share with family and friends.

I am so glad that I finally transferred my Wedding Memories from VCR tape to DVD.
Do you have memories that you would like to transfer?  
Wouldn’t this holiday season be the perfect time to surprise a loved one with a transfer?

  • YesVideo accepts VHS tapes, camcorder tapes, movie film reels and 35mm slides.
  • Altough I was a little hesitant at first, I can attest that YesVideo’s process is very safe & secure. They handle customers’ memories as if they were their own.

    Preserving memories has come a long, long way. Thankfully, there are companies like YesVideo!

    I need to check into this for the few VCR tapes I have left. Most burned in a house fire many years ago, but some sweet people gave me copies of their tapes. We don’t have a VCR though so I can’t watch them. This a great gift idea as well. Thanks for sharing! Love that you have your wedding video on DVD now and it didn’t cost $1,000!

    The one thing I wish I had done was get a videographer for our wedding. We just hired a photographer, who ended up being horrible and not giving us pictures like his proofs and now, 12 years later, I have little to no wedding pictures 🙁 I am glad that you were able to switch the vcr tape to dvd!!

    I think I’ve watched my wedding video once. Since our 10-year anniversary is coming up, it’d be a lot of fun to watch it with our kids. Your video turned out great!

    I was just telling my mom that I need to get my wedding vhs transferred over to DVD. She also has a bunch of home movies to transfer, I will definitely look into this!

    What a great service! We have transferred our wedding video to DVD but we still have some other family movies that need to be done. I will be looking into Yes Video.

    Now I know what I can do with my VHS tapes that are sitting around the house. I know they hold glimpses of our past lives. However, our old VCRs are no more. So now the videos just sit and collect dust.

    I’m so glad you share your wedding memories with your girls!

    My husband and I used YesVideo to transfer our (homemade) wedding video to DVD. I LOVE watching it!

    My wedding video is also on VHS and I really need to get it transferred. I was thinking it would be a nice holiday gift for him!

    Our wedding was in August of 1999 and it was taped on VHS too. I need to bring it in and get it on DVD. I love that I can go into Costco and do that. Thank you. I didn’t know it was so easy!

    Awwww you guys are so cute! We didn’t do a wedding video and I totally wish we had!

    I need to do something like this with all of our wedding photos. Man, we have a ton of them!

    I love the gift that YesVideo is giving so many people of preserving old memories. We did not have a wedding videographer and now I regret that there is no video to show my kids.

  14. Lynsey @MoscatoMom says

    November 6, 2014 at 2:59 pm

    I LOVE this! My dad recorded like every step I ever took when I was a kid – and of course all of them are on VHS. I may have to try to smuggle a few out of his house to put on DVD for Christmas lol

  15. Valerie Remy-Milora says

    November 6, 2014 at 4:46 pm

    What a great service! I had no idea you could do this at Costco/Sam’s club and am going to look in to this. My wedding was in France though so it is in PAL format instead of NTSC. But I’m going to see if they can still transfer it… and I have lots of Hi8 video of my first 2 daughters. I would love to have a DVD for my oldest as a surprise for her 18th birthday.

    I am so glad you were able to transfer those video memories. Now they are safe and sound.

    I love what YesVideo does to preserve memories. I have so much stuff back home that I can’t wait to send over to them to safely preserve for my kids to watch and enjoy.

    Don’t you just love knowing that they’re safe forever now? I need to do this too!

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
