Rev Marshall,
This may be a blessing, remember that song "Some of God's greatest gifts
are unanswered prayers." They would probably be a bother if they did
come, so here is my solution.
The $186 Panasonic BL-C111A MPEG-4 Network Camera is a wired unit that
can pan & zoom via remote user input so if they don't like what they are
looking at the they can adjust it themselves.

It has a sibling that is wireless for $100 more.

The camera just needs an static IP address and Panasonic gives you a
website where the camera streams its data to and the user can control
the the camera from the website. It has day/night capability's. It
does 30 fps at 640x480.
MPEG-4 Network Camera
# Pan, tilt and digital zoom with presets
# Simultaneous MPEG-4 and JPEG
# 1 lux color night view mode
# Up to 30fps CMOS
# Full screen monitoring
# Built-in microphone
And when your done with the wedding use it for live sermons for those
who have a hard time getting out of the house on Sundays. ;-)
Good luck,
Mike

We have one. Remember pastor is the resident techy. (I installed
most of the infrastructure.)
That is not my worry it is all the other stuff and making sure it
works and keeping it going. I will be a little busy during the
wedding so I will not be able to tend to the electronic end.
My feeling is the making of a DVD is much better, much less stress,
and it can be taken care of AFTER the ceremonies are way over.
My in-laws are the ones who want the live feed, because they are too
lazy to travel! (I know strike with 40 lashes but that is what it
comes down to.)

Many of our video projects are weddings, so I keep on top of this. The
biggest problem isn't getting the audio & video mixed ($), it's the
internet connection. Few churches have a wireless network handy.
I hate to travel too (and it's no small expense for some people), and
I hate pomp and circumstance. Especially for people that get
divorced/married every few years (>50%). The chances of me watching
your unedited live wedding feed wouldn't be real great. Just send them
a DVD when the editing is finished. MUCH more entertaining and they
can fast forward through it.
