Your wedding day is a whirlwind of emotions, laughter and love.  It’s a day when time seems to slip through your fingers as you’re swept away by the excitement of starting a new chapter with the love of your life.  In the midst of all the celebrations, there lies a profound beauty in taking the time to pause, savor, and intentionally remember the moments that make this day unforgettable.  

The morning calm.  Your wedding morning is a delicate balance of anticipation, nerves and deep joy.  Before the hustle and bustle of getting ready, take a moment to breathe.  Look into the mirror and see the hopefulness and excitement in your eyes. Think about how on this day, you will marry the one you love.  Remember how you feel at this moment. 

The moment before your first look.  In the hushed moments just before your first look, time seems to stand still.  Embrace it.  Before you lock eyes with your partner for the first time on your wedding day, take a moment to etch this memory in your heart forever.  Reflect on the love that brought you here, and the joy you’re about to share together.  

The first look. This moment when you first lay eyes on each other is filled with raw emotion.  Embrace it.  Cherish the details; the way their eyes light up, the warmth of their smile, the true delight in their touch.

The aisle. As you are about to step down the aisle and embark on a journey of love and commitment, reflect on the path that brought you here together.  Take a moment to honor the significance of the commitment you are about to one another.  

The ones you love.  During your ceremony, pause and turn to look at your friends and family remembering all their love and support surrounding you.  Take joy in the faces in the crowd, knowing they are here to celebrate your love.  

And so, on your wedding day, pause and remember.  Embrace the beauty of the moment, acknowledge the significance of the commitment you are making and experience the love and joy of a truly memorable day.
