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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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!!

  4. 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!

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  10. 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!

  14. 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. 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.

  17. 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.
