Beautiful love story alert 🚨

Krissy and Jamies story first began when an almost 16-year-old Krissy and her family moved into the house next door to Jamie’s.

Krissy recalls seeing Jamie for the first time and thinking that he was the cutest boy she had ever seen. The attraction was mutual, and they very quickly fell in love.

They were each other’s first in every way and were together from the ages of 16 to 18. Unfortunately, life took them in different directions, and they were forced to go their separate ways.

Fast forward 33 years, and Krissy decided to head back to her old stomping ground for a walk down memory lane.

Krissy found herself wondering past the barber shop where Jamie had done his apprenticeship, and much to Krissy’s surprise, he was still working there!

Jamie spotted Krissy and stepped outside. Krissy couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe- it was as though her heart had stopped completely.

Krissy admits that she never stopped loving Jamie and had thought of him every day since they parted.

They picked up exactly where they had left off and it was my absolute pleasure to unite these two as husband and wife! 🥰

TIPS FOR THE PERFECT KISS 😘

💥Practice in advance— especially if you’re planning on doing “the dip”.

💥Keep it family friendly— it’s probably best to leave the real smoochy kisses for the honeymoon.

💥Hold your kiss for at least 4 seconds— a quick 2 second peck is not enough time for your photographer to get the shot.

💥Close your eyes— I don’t really need to elaborate on this one, right?!

💥Do something with your hands— pull your partner in for a cuddle, cup their face, hold hands, go in for a cheeky butt squeeze, just keep ‘‘em busy.

💥Most importantly, whatever you do, try and be as natural as possible… well, as natural as you can be locking lips in front of everyone you know.

CHOOSING YOUR WITNESSES… 🖊️

A lot of my couples take the traditional route and use their Best Man & Maid of Honour, and that is totally fine…

BUT, it can be a great way to include other special people in your ceremony as well. 💖

I’ve seen people use their;

✨Mums
✨Grandparents
✨Siblings
✨Step parents
✨& Special travelling guests

I’ve also had couples opt to do a ‘raffle’, where their witnesses names are chosen out of a hat. 👏🏼

As long as they are over 18 years of age, you can pick ANYONE.

I always encourage my couples to stop & share another little kiss as they’re exiting back down the aisle! 😘

Why? Because your guests love it AND you end up with a gorgeous shot just like this!

WHO STANDS WHERE AT THE ALTER?

Traditionally speaking, the Bride stands on the left & the Groom stands on the right.

But these days, there is no right or wrong!

In fact, many of my couples decide who will stand where based on how their hair will be styled on the day. 💁‍♀️

Mr & Mrs Kelly ✨

Look at this sunset! You almost wouldn’t believe that it was forecast to rain!

Unfortunately the ground was still too wet for this lovely couple to get married in the spot they originally had their heart set on, but luckily their venue was able to offer a great plan B!

Top tip: When booking a venue, always ask to see where your ceremony will be held in the event of rain (sometimes it’s in your reception space, other times, they might have an outdoor undercover area like this venue did).

CHANGING YOUR SURNAME…

Did you know that neither, either or both of you can change your last name after getting married?

For example, when I, formerly known as Megan Richards, married by husband (Kye Carter) my name after marriage could have been;

❣️Megan Richards
❣️Megan Carter
❣️Megan Richards Carter
❣️Megan Carter Richards
❣️Megan Richards-Carter
❣️Megan Carter-Richards

My husband also could have taken any of the above name options (well minus the Megan part, obviously). 😅

Will you be keeping your current name, or changing to something new? 👇

Wondering what happens when you reach the end of the aisle?

Most commonly;

✨ Your partner will hug/shake the hand of whoever walked you down

✨You will take your position at the alter

✨Your Maid of Honour/Chosen Person will fluff your train (if applicable)

✨You will pass off your bouquet, so that you can hold hands with your partner

✨I will then step in, and let the hitching begin!

This is just one of the many things we will go over should you choose to do a rehearsal. 😃

TOP TIP: Seat your family on the OPPOSITE side to where you will be standing at the alter.

E.g if you’re going to be standing on the right, let me know, and I’ll make sure that your family are seated on the left.

This may go against tradition, BUT it means that your family will be looking directly at your face, and the same for your partner and his/her family. 👌

MR & MRS SNOW 💍

Lauren & John eloped at the stunning accompanied only by their two witnesses.

We took a little walk down memory lane, as I told the story of how these two wonderful people came to be, and they exchanged some truely beautiful vows to one another.

Talk about a spectacular day!

Boy oh boy! This week is going to be a big one! 👏🏼

I’ve got Four weddings & Two rehearsals spread across 4 days.

I’m super excited to be visiting the beautiful , , & as well as doing a sunrise ceremony at Mudjimba Beach which is sure to be amazing.

I do apologise in advance if my email response time is a little slow, as I will be very busy making sure these weddings go off without a hitch (well apart from the actual hitching) 😂

Weddings are highly emotional events that tend to bring out the best… and the absolute worst, in people. 🫣

An important truth about being a bride/groom is that despite your best intentions, some of your loved ones may surprise you for the worse, (and it is often those who you would least expect).

While this behaviour is incredibly disheartening, at the end of the day, it is your choice how much you let it affect you. 🙅‍♀️

So, no matter the negativity, keep your head held high, and stay focused on the sweet, simple fact that you are marrying the love of your life! ✨

Diana & Sean 💍

There were so many things to love about this wonderful wedding;

✨Diana was walked down the aisle by both of her parents

✨They had a friend translate the script so that Diana’s Colombian family and friends could also enjoy the beautiful ceremony that we created

✨Diana kept her maiden name!

✨Sean surprised Diana by finishing off his vows in Spanish (🥹🥹)

✨They had all of their family and friends contribute to a time capsule that they will open in the future

This beautiful couple had the biggest wedding party that I have ever worked with!

✨1 Best Man
✨4 Groomsmen
✨2 Maid of honours
✨3 Bridesmaids
✨2 Junior Bridesmaids
✨2 Flower Girls
✨1 Ring Bearer

That’s a total of 17 people including the Bride & Groom!

There is no right or wrong amount of people to have standing up beside you on your big day- if they are important to you (& having a wedding party is your jam), then why not go all out. 🥰

To a small business like mine, reviews are absolutely EVERYTHING. ‼️

My day is made every time a notification pops up, letting me know that another couple has left me some ‘kind words’. 💖

So please, whether I marred you yesterday, or five years ago, if you haven’t yet left a review, please pop on to my page & make my day. 🥰

Nope! I certainly don’t expect you to memorise your kind words to one another.

That would be far too much pressure! 😅

And I definitely don’t expect you to pull a scrunched up piece of paper out from somewhere where the sun don’t shine. 🙈

So, what we will do is…

➰You’ll send me your vows in advance

➰I will print them out and place them in beautiful vow cards

➰When it’s time, I’ll pass you the mic and your words & then the floor is all yours.

Simple as that! 👏🏼

Most of my couples are a little apprehensive about writing their vows, and I get it right?! It doesn’t exactly feel natural to stand up and declare your love in front of everyone you know. 😳

If I am marrying you however, you can stress a little less, because I’VE GOT YOU!

All my couples receive a copy of my comprehensive vow writing guide, as well as my undivided attention (if needed) when crafting their vows. ✍️

I will even print them out & bring them along for you on the big day, so there is no chance of you nervously misplacing or forgetting them!

On top of this, I display them in beautiful vow cards for you to read from and boy do they look great in photos! 👏🏼

I have now married 194 beautiful people, and to each and every one of you I say THANK YOU! 🩷

This past year has been my biggest & best one yet, and I’m so excited to see what the future has in store. 🫶

UNEVEN WEDDING PARTY CHAT 💍

This is a decision that I see my couples agonise over time and time again, and I’m here to tell you that it’s okay to throw tradition out the window and just do you! 💁‍♀️

As long as you have all your besties by your side, what does it matter how the numbers pan out?!

Never feel pressured to add a so/so friend, (or subtract someone special) simply to make your numbers match! 🫶
