Man, I am -really- sorry to hear about your loss, I had a similar situation years ago where my brother deleted my entire personal folder heirarchy. Luckily, this was back in the days of Windows 3.1 / Windows 95 (don't remember), and I was able to drop down to DOS and manually recover most of my files by editing the file tables by hand ...
But anyway, let me humbly add one suggestion:
-TAKE IMPORTANT PHOTOGRAPHS ON FILM-
Film, as you know if you've seen your grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., can last over 100 years. We don't even know if in 30 years we will have computers and programs to read "jpeg" formatted data. Sure we may, but who knows. Kind of like if you have a nice betamax home video sitting around now and you never got around to transferring it -- you're either hosed, or you have to pay through the nose for a company to change your home movies to DVD...
Again, I'm really sorry about your wedding and honeymoon pics. I'm getting married next year and while I'll let her bring a digital camera, my trusty Nikon is coming along as well.
All the best,
James
