You may now kiss the bride 💐 Here are FIVE tips for the PERFECT first kiss photo:

🌹 Have your officiant step aside
🌹 Kiss more than once
🌹 Hold the kiss for a few seconds to get the perfect shot
🌹 Stop and kiss again halfway down the aisle
🌹 Have your officiant signal everyone out AFTER you make your exit

Did we miss anything? Leave YOUR tips in the comments below.

So you've found your officiant, what now? Here are five things your officiant should do at your ceremony:

✨ Announce an unplugged ceremony
✨ Tell guests to sit down after the bride walks down the aisle
✨ Move aside during the first kiss
✨ If you're having an exit, remind guests to throw petals, blow bubbles, etc.
✨ Make an exit announcement to tell your guests it's time to head to cocktail hour

The air starts to feel crisper and the sun seems to shine a little more golden than usual in September. Be sure to have "sunset photos" scheduled into your timeline (even if it means you leaving the reception for 20 minutes - you won't regret it).

Okay, guys! I'm talking to you. Let's face it, writing a best man's speech can be tough and when you look at examples online, they're just roasting the groom. As a best man, this is your chance to hype up your best friend. Share a story, wish him well, and save the roasts for the bachelor party.

Happy 1st anniversary!

In place of traditional table numbers, why not have each table number be an “age?” Everyone will love to see younger versions of the bride and groom.
