Last week I said the rent -a -cake at weddings
was getting to me. But rent -a -photographer is
getting to me even more.
Now I know. You don't actually go out and
rent a man to take pictures of,, your wedding.
But you do hire him for his services. And he's
all yours --- before the wedding, during the
wedding and after the wedding. And if anyone
knows how a wedding should go,. the
photographer does. This may be your first,
but it's his ninety-first. . .
With his camerahe darts all over the scene
-- catching every detail of your wedding from
putting the'boutonrtiere into your laprel to that
last wave goodbye an4 off on the honeymoon.
Years ago your wedding photographer
`1ruate't'+ a; roving reporter stuffing up the
camera's eke. He stayed put. He stayed in his
studio and you came to him, The couple --right
after their wedding --drove into town --or
through town --and ,got that one picture taken,
their wedding pictures. The copies of whigh
would forever rest on the top of the piano in
every livingroom of every living relative. ,
But no more. There's no more- single
wedding photo. Now you have a'whole candid
camera album of wedding prints. And the
photographer has to be all over the place to
get them; in the brides' home, at the church,
on the altar, in the sacristry, afthe restaurant,
in the reception hall. All over, Everywhere.
Sometimes I think every wedding couldn't
go on without the photographer . In that vast
company of people that make up the wedding,
the photographer is indespensible. He's the
manager. He's the producer. He makes things
happen. He knows how ,to make things
happen. He knows where everyone has to
stand. Where they should go next.
He knows the sequences. The order. Where
to stand in the receiving line. When to throw
the rice. He knows the right time to cut the
cake. Where the best background scenery is.
One photographer told me he always takes his
couples over to a perfect setting by the river.
At just the right time, so the sun's ata perfect
height and casting the right shadows. All to
the background of a darkening church steeple
in the distance.
And not only this. The photographer can
stage the wedding. Sometimes I get so busy
watching the/photographer move around, i

the wedding, then I i;nagine this whole event
in front of me is a rehearsal. At best, a dress

A public meeting was held in Broadfoot's Schuol for tfte i
purpose of reorganizing the Farmer's Club in Tuckersmith.
Chas. Logan of the Parr Line was driving towards bayfield

John Habkirk; formerly of McKillop, has opened up a
grocery store in W,ingham.
The new buildings for Messrs. Gray & Scott, sash and door

We understand that A. G. M cDougoll , butter dealer of
Seaforth, bought and shipped in the last 4t/� 'mouths, 4,59 M ,�

S: Rogers of Hullett sold a quantity of barley at Clinton1for
52 cents'a bushel. He also brought a load of the same gram to
Seaforth, for whichhe received 58c a bushel.
The store of Messrs. Logan and Jamieson, of Seaforth,,was
entered and silks, laces and fringe and furs to the value of
$500 was' carried off. Three carpet bags were also taken.
Chas. Whitney was, engaged in placing eave troughs on the
new oatmeal mill and the end of the ladder on which he was
standing was resting on the track. He got down to within ,
about 15 feet of the bottom when,.the wheels of the car struck
the ladder. he rolled off the track and was ,Pot.caught by the

We understand, that an effort is being made by the
merchants of Seaforth- to secure the services of a night

through the motions --for the camera.
I forget that the wedding i$ going on right
now. That the real wedding --the real thing --is
taking place at this very moment. 1 fool myself
into thinking that what's going on up there is
for the photographer and his camera. That it's
for viewing later in a,victure album book. That
going through 'the ;vedd3ng"pictures, months
later.' is more, real than the wedding ,itself. f.
Am I kidding myself?' is this the way- a
wedding should be?
Now I know. The wedding is an exciting
day. A look back in pictures may capture
forgotten moments. It can draw out events
that happened so quickly. It's so ironic. It
takes months of planning and painstaking
detailing --and then it's over in twenty
minutes. At least a ,pictuze album records
those fast seconds in time.
But on one thing I insist. A wedding is a
wedding is a wedding. For its own sake. Not
the cameta's sake. The wedding that's
happening this day is something I'm sharing
in right now. I'm living iii and through a
wedding today. And I refuse to let pictures
take its place. An album is only a reminder of
that day. I only want to relive my
,wedding --not live --my wedding in a book.
It's no wonder some churches put a -ban od

enough and interrupting enough. One time I

Thattime it was TV cameras moving up and

quarterback Wally Gabler.
But it's not only this disruption. It's the
greater confusion that substitutes the genuine
with a.replica. Why have a reprint when I can
have the activity? Why settle for copies when I
can experience first hand?
And if 1 have to keep cameras out of
churches to stop the confusion, then it's worth'
it. Maybe the trip through town to the
photographer's place isn't such a bad idea
after all..
