What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don’t sweat the small stuff—unless it’s choosing cake flavor! Focus on what truly matters to you as a couple. Trends come and go, but your love story is forever. Prioritize the moments that make you smile (and maybe dance a little), and remember to sneak away for a quiet second together on the big day. Keep it fun, keep it real, and trust that the rest will fall perfectly into place.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
This couple had custom “his and hers” playlists—his was all classic rock, hers pure Broadway show tunes. The kicker? They danced like nobody was watching... except everyone was watching, and loved every minute of it. It was a hilarious, heartwarming reminder that love means embracing each other’s quirks (and questionable music tastes) with open arms—and killer dance moves.
