Hiya,
we got married on 3rd March 2012 at 3pm in Liverpool. Here are a few things that we would recommend to others:
1 Get married at 1pm, time ran away with itself on our day so we would recommend slightly earlier.
2 DO NOT let others influence you and that way your day is what YOU want.
3 Do not scrimp on your photographer and ensure they will capture your da how you want, NOT how they want to!
4 Book your photographer to stay for a decent amount of the evening.
We had no bridesmaids, no seating plans, no speeches, no first dance (we're useless dancers) and we had a carvery for our meal rather than a served meal so that people could choose what they wanted on their plate and how much!
We had no stress leading up to the day and on the day everyone commented on how relaxed we both were and that all we did was laugh and smile.
