Time is of the Essence

 
 
 
 
 
These days, when you arrive at a wedding as a guest, often the only idea you'll have of the day is how early you'll need to arrive at the ceremony to not get stuck behind a column. When it comes to the rest of it, it becomes a bit of a guessing game. "I just saw a man go in there with a plate of salmon, the food must be coming soon." "I would have thought they would have cut the cake by now" and "[...]

Many couples, including my husband and I, fly through their wedding day in such a blur that it can be hard to remember all the little details you worked so hard so put together.

Super sorry for the lack of posts this week, I've been swanning about in the Irish countryside.
