Project: Roman Wedding Film

Since my colleagues (i.e., Ben Auger and Laura Kay) and I have not quite had enough on our plates this year with continuous discussions of DDMs and other such bureaucratic delights, we have also begun to build a curriculum for our newly-adopted textbook series, having abandoned the old after a decade.  Along with its fresh approach to grammar, this new book has compelled us to rethink our old culture projects.  Since we will now be exploring Roman marriages in Latin I, rather than in Latin II, we recently created this film project (attached below) for our freshmen, which I present to you today with its rubric.
Nota bene!  We do mention that there are specific articles pertaining to Roman wedding customs that we want the students to read beforehand.  We were probably going to give them the articles on this topic from our current and our old textbooks to read.  However, I would certainly be interested to hear if someone knows of any other excellent sources of information on weddings!
