I went to my cousin's wedding back in October. The photographer she hired...NONE OF THE PICTURES TURNED OUT!!!! (She got her money back, but still... .)
She asks that everyone that was there with camera and took pictures please send her some. Well, I have pictures and the video of the ceremony. What is the easiest way to get them all to her at once through e-mail?

Re: Question
Ouch, that sucks. 
I assume they're on your PC already? If so:
1. Create a zip file. Right click on either the desktop, or in a folder, and choose "New" then "Compressed (zipped) folder". If you have a program like WinZIP or WinRAR installed, it will replace that option; that's fine, pick that one.
2. Open said zip file.
3. Drag and drop all the pics (not the likely larger videos) into it. This should work regardless of the software you're using.
4. Send the zip attached to one email. Email the video separately; it's probably not worth zipping, as most video encodings are already very compressed.
5. Should be very easy for the recipient to use - save the file, open it up. If they have their own unzip program they're set. If not, then Windows will just open it like a normal folder, and they can move/do with the pics as they like.
Note that email providers have a max size on emails. Gmail's max size is 20MB. You also have to contend with the recipient's limit, so if their limit is 5MB, you'll need to trim down to that.
If the files are really, really big, you might consider a direct transfer using an instant messenger, or an upload service (like megaupload.com, off the top of my head, though I know there are better out there) which lets you remove the files after they're downloaded by the recipient.

Re: Question
Get a new e-mail account. Use that to open a new Photobucket account. Upload the pics to that and send everyone the link.
