After Saturday's wedding I'm reassessing the stress/compensation
calculations. I know that I won't knowingly agree to another one like this
one. If it was just the challenge, I'd stick with photographing extreme
sports. No thanks, I'll take the money.

Just don't agree to do a wedding for a photographer!
Brings up an interesting story from this weekend. We were in the midst of
the formals and my wife was helping me with getting the bride's gown right,
when the bride said "I don't care how the dress looks just take the
picture." Fortunately her sister (maid of honor) said "you will when you
get the pictures back."
See what you have to put up with sometimes?
