Stealing Special Moments

Oh wedding day. It’s so exciting!! The first day of the rest of your life with your best friend. So many things to do and people to hug and visit with. But what about sharing the special day with your to-be-spouse? Yes, you’ll say your I Do’s and you’ll dance together, but what about those special moments you dream of but are often pushed aside in the name of your guests and those pesky details?

It can be done, I tell you!! You can indeed share a few (at least) private, special moments with your love during the blessed day. Here are some ideas!

–Say Good Morning! Even if you don’t want to see each other before “the walk”, you can make this happen! Pick up the phone. Easy as that! Or, if you don’t mind seeing each other before the bride’s entrance, meet up bright and early to enjoy breakfast together. Just the two of you, relaxed and excited.
–Sneak away from everything and meet under a tree. Okay, maybe not under a tree (just seems like something I’d see in a movie), but in a place where no one else can find you! Give each other a big hug and just smile at each other for a while. Soak it all in. Say a little prayer. And, if you don’t want to see each other, agree to meet in a place that still prohibits you from seeing the other person (ie two separate rooms connected by the door…leaving the door closed).
–Just before your walk down the aisle, send a note or give your love a call. This may not technically count as “a moment with”, but it would still be a sweet gesture and could very well calm some nerves!
–Just after you’ve walked back down the aisle as a married couple, go directly to a room where no one else can get to you. Gaze lovingly into each others eyes and realized that you are now, finally, after what might have been months or even years of planning, married. Success!
–If you’re making a grand exit or just leaving from the ceremony site, consider taking the trip alone. Talk about the ceremony while it’s so fresh in your brains. Take time to laugh at anything that went wrong. Or, simply enjoy the cruzen’ in silence!
–During the reception and all that crazy mingling, sneak out and take some silly and unexpected pictures together. Bring your photographer if you want, or just bring your point-and-shoot and get to snapping!
–And finally, before you leave, consider having a special moment alone with your parents. The chances are pretty good that they love you to the moon and back and the whole wide world around, and that they would find it very meaningful if you took a few moments to stop and say thank you and let them know how much they mean to you. Do it alone with your respective parents or together. Just a thought!
