Another friend of mine, Lisa, went to the trouble of making gift bags for all the children to enjoy during the wedding breakfast. They contained stickers, sweets, colouring books, crayons, and bubbles and were a real hit, keeping the little darlings quiet and entertained! All of our suppliers were amazing and helped to make our day so special. Our photographer, Amy, was fantastic and provided the most stunning photos and exceptional service. Capturing those special moments is so important for reliving the memories for years to come. Our main piece of advice for any couple about to get married is to leave enough time to relax, enjoy getting ready and delegate jobs to other people where you can. Have everything organised ahead of the day and give a list of all plans and supplier details to a responsible person in case of any issues on the day. We chose our honeymoon together and booked it through Deben Travel in Woodbridge. We chose a Mediterranean cruise and booked it for two weeks after our wedding. It was a family holiday with the twins, so it was not as relaxing and romantic as we would have liked, but it was amazing all the same and we visited some beautiful destinations in Spain and Portugal. 36
