A 1gb card with camera set at full res medium quality will give well over 400 shots. Frankly I would find it hardest to actually point the camera at couples and continue to take the shots for so long
I considered downloading cards and recharging batteries but maths suggest the shutter needed to be actuated once every 2.16 seconds! Not enough time to download or charge but enough to swap and replace. IMHO.

Maths:- (3,600 x 12) / 20,000 = 2.16

Still a funny story!
