Even the cake was in tiers


We finished our last wedding of the year and realised we'd picked up a lot of tips just by being around so many brides. So we're jotting them down, care to browse? Some of them are useful at every wedding, others are more personal.

The name comes from a too often repeated wedding speech joke. "It's been an emotional wedding..."

What's been the most helpful tip in your planning, or what did you learn at your wedding that you wish someone had told you?

We did it!

We've completed our 365 project! You can view

the full set here

(and if you're really nosey, see the 365 project I completed 4 years ago

here

).

There were 2 bumps (who are now Lydia and Ivy), 5 Johns (or Jons), 14 photos were in wales, 18 were at weddings, 37 were about food (10%!), 43 were in Australia, 58 are of Birmingham (including 28 of where we live- Erdington) and 123 were individual or group portraits (just over a third). There was also a parrot, a seagull, two clown fish, a goat, a rabbit, a dog, two gerbils and a pelican!
