and some also thought it was like Hogwarts, which we loved as well! We got a lot of compliments on how the Disney theme was just right.
We were overwhelmed with emotion on the day. Seeing everything come together was amazing after two years’ hard work, and it made it all worthwhile. Everything seemed to go so fast, but we couldn’ t have asked for more. It was the best day of our lives.
It’ s hard to pick one‘ best’ moment as there were so many, however I loved it when we touched hands for the first time. We did a picture of us holding hands round the door, so we did not see each other but got to touch before going down the aisle. It gave me a lot of courage for the big walk down. Then actually waiting at the end of the aisle and turning to see Lena for the first time – I was so overwhelmed that this woman was about to become my wife.
Then there was the magic of our first dance that we had been practising for six months – I loved performing it for our family and friends. We had a mist machine which just added to the special moment – our first time as wife and wife to show off in front of everyone.
Lena’ s highlights were, firstly, getting ready with family and friends – looking in the mirror and feeling like a bride. She realised at that moment that she was ready. Then walking down the aisle and seeing me – she felt comforted by me waiting for her at the end. One big moment we both commented on was after the ceremony, when we literally had just five minutes all to ourselves. We embraced and held each other, knowing we had just officially become married.
Our top tips for other couples are to set a budget and plan everything well in advance. Don’ t stress over the little things as they don’ t matter on the big day – your day will be your kind of perfect. Stop for a minute to take everything in – and enjoy it! Oh, and try to prepare for the emotional side of it all, as it will hit you when you least expect it. www. jprshah-photography. co. uk
