The tutorial jumps and misses the part where you set the mask up.

Man these are great but I think it would be even better if you put like 3 of them together into 1 or at very least put a link to the next one under the one thats finishing

how do you group the bride image. I couldnt seem to pick that part up on how you did that.

Why did the masked image change from colored to black and white?

Can you mask an image (to make it fit into your shape/path) without changing it’s color?

I think that what he actually did was to use the image to mask the white shape… If you wanted it the other way, you need to have the white shape on top. Then the color would be preserved.
