Your South Wales Wedding - July/August 2023 (Issue 92)

For our honeymoon, we went to the Dominican Republic for 14 days, which was breathtaking. It was everything I’d ever dreamed of, as I’d never been to the Caribbean before. We had so much fun exploring and spending time with each other, just laughing and making memories. Our top tip for any couple is to enjoy every minute, have faith that you have planned and prepared everything and make the most of it. You’ll have opinions and questions in the run-up to the wedding, but just remember it won’t matter on the day. My parents made the planning process extra special and helped make our big day happen. The best men did a hilarious slideshow and story about Lewis.

She took the most creative and natural pictures whilst mixing in the background, and we forgot we were being captured. She’s honestly so lovely, and it was a pleasure to have her photograph our day. We walked through our guests blowing bubbles instead of confetti as Lewis’ dad had bubbles at his funeral. We thought it was a lovely way to remember him on our special day. We took a few minutes out just to be in the moment together and were blown away that everyone came to celebrate with us. 34
