00:00I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever buy a wedding dress that didn't fit.
00:05Five things I would never do at my own wedding.
00:08Number one, I would never have a friend or family member take the photos.
00:11People that have wanted to save money or they've said, you know,
00:14they've got an uncle that's got a great camera and it very rarely works out.
00:19Number two, I would not allow people to take photos during the ceremony on their phones
00:24because what ends up happening is you end up with 100 crap photos at terrible angles
00:29of you doing your vows.
00:30And then when you get your professional photos back,
00:32all the photos have people behind their phones like this lip.
00:36So put up a sign or get your officiant to make an announcement at the beginning and say,
00:40please no photos during the ceremony.
00:42We've got a professional, they know what they're doing.
00:45You're going to ruin it.
00:46Number three would be having the ceremony too late in the day.
00:49I would always try and have the ceremony between 12.30 and 2.
00:53The later the ceremony, the less time you have to party and to be with your guests.
00:57And people always say the wedding day goes so fast.
01:00Number four, I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
01:05buy a wedding dress that didn't fit.
01:07I was going to slip into it.
01:09Number one, toxic.
01:11Number two, it's not something you want to be encouraging people to do.
01:14Number three, it's going to add extra pressure to you to lose weight.
01:17And then if you don't do it, it's going to make you feel bad about yourself
01:20and potentially be very expensive to get it like refitted or buying a dress.
01:25Just buy a dress that fits you.
01:26Number five, I would not over order food.
01:30So many weddings, people think people are going to be like ravenous all day
01:34and they have too much food, so it's costing too much money and there's loads of waste.
01:37You don't need canapes and an ice cream bar and a taco station and a sweet table
01:44and dinner and dessert and cake and an evening buffet.
01:48People just don't need that much food.
01:51Skip the evening buffet, your bank balance will thank you.
01:54Number one, or number six, depending on how you look at it.
01:58I would never not include my partner in the wedding planning.
02:00They may not be that interested in flowers and wedding dresses and dove releases,
02:07but it is their wedding too.
02:08So, you know, get them involved.
02:10Number two, stress too much about what other people think.
02:14People spend so much time worrying about if people are going to enjoy the day
02:18or if they're going to think their wedding is like weird or horrible.
02:21And in the nicest possible way,
02:24they don't care about your wedding as much as you think they do.
02:26And if they're going to be mean and judgmental, then they probably shouldn't get invited.
02:30Number three, and this is something I was guilty of,
02:33is being too safe with my outfit choice.
02:36I was worried about like being too out there
02:39and I ended up wearing a dress that was actually quite traditional.
02:42And looking back at it now, I'm like, God, I wish I'd been braver.
02:45Number four, something I would never do if I was getting married now,
02:48is to have too many bridesmaids.
02:51I get it.
02:52If you've got lots of friends, you want them all to be included in the day.
02:55But more bridesmaids means more drama.
02:58You can give your friends other jobs, they don't have to be bridesmaids.
03:01And number five, the thing I would never do if I was getting married again now,
03:05would be not have a videographer.
03:07I think the video is something that a lot of people overlook.
03:10If you have the budget, videographer.
03:13You won't regret it.
