I wish I’d known just how quickly the day would go! Make sure you and your new partner set some time aside to sit together and watch everyone around you having fun. Make sure you spend time together, as well as mingling with all of your guests!

Make sure you do what’s important to you as a couple and not try and please everyone else, it’s your special day. Capture the time you have together as a newlywed couple, whether that’s sneaking off for photos with the photographer or having a quiet 5 minutes together. You’ll be surprised how little time you spend together on the day!
