We are so grateful. The wedding was perfect honestly. We had exactly what we wanted, my mom and stepdad, Bill, gave us everything we wanted. My amazing mother-in-law shared the flower costs with me. We are so blessed. My most memorable moment was exchanging vows and rings, I love my husband so much. So much joy. Our friends and family are so important to us and it was so perfect to spend the day with them. I would not know how to advise people getting married further, but what I had was support and that was essential. I did away with a lot of the traditional aspects of a wedding, we are not religious and my stepfather did our ceremony, it was so beautiful to have someone who loved us speak to and for us. We requested that we didn’t have formal speeches, so Mogg and I spoke together to our guests, to thank them and express our love for them and each other. It was so great. We chose the best possible venue for us and every tiny detail was taken care of by them, our vendors and my mom. I had no stress at all, I worked nights the whole week before the wedding and my mom fixed any issue. It was absolutely pouring the day of the wedding and of course, it was meant to be outside, but we knew it was going to rain a few days earlier – my mom sorted everything. It was so special.

I think the best thing that I could say would be if you choose to have a wedding, do exactly what you would love, don’t do things just because it’s expected or because someone else thinks you should. Be respectful of others, always. But please don’t do something you don’t want because you feel like you have to. A wedding is a physical manifestation of marriage and relationship and it should be authentic and honest. I am so happy I got to marry my Mogg, he’s my hero and the love of my life. I think marriage can be a limiting idea, but for me, it has been so freeing and it is so cool to be married to him. Also, try to stay calm and be grateful for everything, have the best time and let go of small issues.
