Favourite memorable moment: There are so many...the gorgeous day, being "in the moment" with my husband at the ceremony, having the support of so many family and friends surrounding us, my little cousins singing a beautiful hymn to us, watching my husband raise the sword of his great grandpa to cut the cake, my brother-in-laws sweet dance moves, our first dance and of course the dip, and best of all being in love with someone I never thought I'd find who loves me for me! My husband is a wonderful blessing to me.
Best planning advice: Do what YOU want and Delegate! Also, don't worry about the little things they don't matter anyway.
