Is it ok to take photographs at one's own wedding?

I am not a wedding photographer. 

I do not consider myself very good at this form of photography. 
But I do think wedding ceremonies are wonderful occasions to create brilliant images. 
Weddings have moments filled with emotion. 
A photographer can stroll amongst the people who are concentrated on the events unfolding and take unique photographs.

A few weeks ago I went to a wedding celebration

A few weeks ago I went to a wedding celebration. 
I did bring along a Leica M9 to take photographs if circumstances permitted. 
BUT...... 
« it was impossible for me to take photographs of the groom».

It was impossible for me to take Photographs of the groom.
BECAUSE
I was The groom!

I think wedding photographers must get a bit upset when the guests get in his or her way trying to make images with their cell phones & point and shoot cameras.
So it is with a lot of discretion that on the 8th. of June 2014 
I took photographs from behind the scenes of my own wedding.
(Of course most of the photos are of Andan, my wife.)

Of course I did not take photos during my own wedding ceremony. 
... The images of which will last forever in my mind and heart.
