because there are several slides that
have text, and Keynote does gorgeous
effects with text!
There's the title slide:
Bridefirstname Bridemiddlename Bridelastname
and
Groomfirstname Groommiddlename Groomlastname
Then there's the slide with the bride's firstname that
introduces photos of the bride, in chronological order.
Then there's the slide with the groom's firstname that
introduces his photos.
Then there's the title slide that reads:
Bridefirstname & Groomfirstname Together
This section of the slideshow shows pix of the
bride and groom together, again in chronological order.
Then the last slide fades out to black and a
text slide fades in that begins the parents' final
message to the couple. Usually this is 3 or 4 text
slides.
I haven't found another slideshow program that
does this stuff. I have Photo to Movie, but it doesn't
have the cool character effects that Keynote does.
