There were so many memorable moments that it is hard to choose just one! I would have to say walking down the aisle was probably the one that stands out the most to me. I walked down the aisle to ‘Unchained Melody’ by the Righteous Brothers which was my one of my Late Father’s favourite songs. As I was walking down the aisle a dragonfly landed on my bouquet & I took this as a sign from Heaven that my Dad was with me in spirit. My fiancé’s reaction as I walked down the aisle was priceless, all that emotion and excitement showing on his face was too precious. What advice do you have for other brides getting married? My advice for future brides would be to start planning early. Popular wedding vendors get booked up well in advance and I would recommend getting all your main suppliers booked as soon as possible after you have your confirmed wedding date to avoid disappointment. Some more advice would be to remain calm and relaxed if any ‘disasters’ happen on your wedding day – it is most likely that nobody even noticed. Also, take a few moments during the big day to soak in all that is going on around you, it goes so quickly that you have to make time to appreciate everything, big or small.
