Excellent advice from dcsang to concentrate on the "getting ready." The best human touches will be there. It is much easier when the people know you.
Also, interesting comment re people appreciating film. Not many left I am afraid.

ya know.. it's so true - even these folks, who both grew up on film and were married last Saturday want B&W but they wanted digital B&W - because they know how "long" it's going to take to process the film (for me, that is, as I'm not doing this full time) and then print a contact sheet, edit the images, do final prints with any touch ups etc.
I adore shooting weddings - I'm not nearly as awesome as Riccis is but I know that my clients are happy and that, to me, at least tells me that I'm going in the right direction.
I will offer some sort of film option in the future although I don't anticipate a huge flood of requests because the option would be 1) more expensive digital and 2) take more time to process than digital.
That said, unlike years gone by, I would hand over the negatives with the prints (after scanning some of them in for my own portfolio via the Nikon 5000 of course)
Cheers,
Dave
