💍 WEDDING TIP OF THE WEEK — WEEK 2

Your wedding day is going to be full of people you love.

There'll be hugs, congratulations, photographs, conversations, speeches, laughter… and probably a few people saying, “Can I just grab you for a minute?” 😂

And that's exactly how it should be.

But amongst all of that, make sure you plan a little time for just the two of you.

It doesn't need to be an hour. Even 10–15 minutes can make a difference.

Take a drink somewhere quiet.
Hold hands.
Take a breath.
Look around.
Take it all in.

No guests.
No photographs.
No questions.

Just you two.

Because your wedding day isn't simply about creating a beautiful celebration.

It's about creating memories that you'll remember together for a lifetime. ❤️

And that's why I always encourage couples to think beyond “What happens when?”

Instead, ask yourselves:

How do we want our wedding day to feel?

💾 Save this for your wedding planning.

# # # 💡 Wedding Tip of the Week

**Don't plan your wedding day down to the minute.**

It sounds obvious, but it's one of the easiest mistakes to make.

Your wedding day isn't a military operation. 😂

Allow some breathing space between the big moments — especially after the ceremony, during photographs and before your wedding breakfast.

Why?

Because things will take a little longer than planned.

Someone will want another photo.

A guest will need the loo.

Your mum will want a hug.

And you'll probably want five minutes just to stop, look around and take it all in. ❤️

**A good wedding timeline doesn't control the day.**

It gives you the freedom to enjoy it.

And that's exactly how it should feel.

How do you want your wedding day to feel?

I had the pleasure of attending a wedding showcase day at Hanford Prep School and managed to capture a few photos and videos of this beautiful venue.

Wonderful day for Dee and Jack celebrating their wedding, including a rap from the Maid of Honour, which was a first for me.

Sure, there's plenty of serious stuff to look after, make sure it all goes to plan, and on time, but being a Wedding Host is also about helping people have fun, and having fun too 😃
