We mixed our loved ones on the tables so everyone could chat and develop relationships. We chose to have a DJ from Essence Music in the evening, as we both love to dance – they were brilliant. Our photographer, Ayshea, was amazing. Not only was she cheerful and professional in the lead-up, but on the day she also acted as hairstylist, photographer and wedding planner! She organised everyone and stuck to the timings to we could just enjoy ourselves. The day wouldn’t have been the same without her. EMILY’S TOP TIP: Try not to let anyone else’s opinion matter more than yours. Most couples know what they want – so stick to your guns! 52
