The beautiful thing about Mark and Hannes is the way they bring different perspectives into the world without ever competing for space.

Hannes looks up and notices the trees, the buildings, how things feel. Mark looks down. He notices the detail, the texture, the nuance.

One sees pictures. The other sees numbers.

One plans. One flows.

One notices what’s coming, the other notices what’s here.

And on the rare occasion one of them becomes briefly non-verbal, the other is always ready to step in and keep things moving.

They bring completely different eyes to the world. That difference, that respect for how the other one moves through life, is where they truly see eye to eye.

Mark is Kelly Clarkson - what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Hannes is Gloria Gaynor - I will survive.

Together they’re Beyoncé. They run the world.

12 ways to bring someone you’ve lost into your wedding day.

I put this list together because it’s the question I get asked alot, in some form or another...usually through tears and usually preceded with “is it naff, or weird?”

It’s not naff and its not weird. It’s one of the most human things you can do on a day that’s meant to be about love.

My own dad died 4 years ago, so I’ve thought about this list from both sides - as a celebrant, and as someone who knows exactly what it’s like to want somebody there who can’t be.

Consider this a start. Take what feels like them, leave the rest.

Save this for later, or send it to someone who’s planning their day without someone they wish was there.

Wedding planning hack you didn’t know you needed

Names on chairs for your front rows sounds small. It is not small. It’s the difference between a slick, seamless start and 120 people doing an awkward shuffle while your celebrant tries to herd all you together in record time. 

Your front rows are reserved for the people who matter most. Ironically, those people will be everywhere except their seats when it counts. Mum’s fixing something. Dad’s doing a lap. Grandma’s been stopped for photos three times.

Named seats get everyone down fast, handles any tricky family dynamics quietly and confidently and helps you get started on time. 

Add it to the list. Thank me later. 

👇 Save this one for when you’re in planning mode.

Thanks Hey Jack for snapping this level of genius at Jack and Steph’s wedding at TERINDAH ESTATE
