As a film maker I am used to filming all sorts of wedding styles. Big weddings, Society weddings, Small and intimate weddings, Military weddings, Wacky weddings. All sorts as I said.
Over the years the changes have been equally varied ... not so often now is the car a Rolls Royce, quite often the first dance is a fast favourite of the Bride and Groom and the band has been replaced with a disco.
For me though, the most troubling change is the move away from the traditional fruit and icing wedding cake ... it's my favourite and I miss it when it's been replaced with a chocolate sponge or an apricot assortment.
I know I'm there to work ... which I do for many hours on the day ... and I know it's not my place to help eat and drink the spread away but I just can't resist a little piece of fruity wedding cake. It's just what I need when I start my journey home some ten hours or more after filming started that day.
