KATIE’S WEDDING WISDOM ❤ Keep a spreadsheet of the things you need to do, things to buy, date you paid, how much left owing, and when it’s due. ❤ Buy a completely new fragrance each, then whenever you smell it afterwards, you’ll be reminded of your day. ❤ If you don’t want traditional, don’t have it. The bride gave a speech, we had no table plan, Sean didn’t even have a ring, he had a tattoo instead. Just do what you want to do. We both changed in the evening for our first dance. The day before the wedding, the weather was supposed to be terrible, and we’d arranged bell tents for 20 guests. I wasn’t worried as I was a scout when I was younger! Although, in hindsight, had the guests’ tents flown off in the middle of the night, I’m not sure I’d have been too much help! “Lesley, our photographer, was incredible. We’d already met her for our engagement shoot, so felt at ease. She’s incredibly experienced, and she even hunted down my handbag, helped with my dress, and carried my lipstick.” 52
