Think about your average day ... how many times do you look at the clock and think, 'Gosh, is that the time!'?

Most bride and grooms on their wedding day don't get chance to think about the time. They are being shipped from pillar to post, with photographers and venue co-ordinators (or wedding planners) keeping them to a tight schedule.

Before you know where you are you'll be greeting your evening guests, you'll be dancing the night away and then it's all over!

Here's a few tips on savouring your day:

• As the day goes on, make sure you both meet up at certain times, especially after the meal. You'll be surprised how you can both get collared by family and friends and then not even see each other.
• After the ceremony, take a little walk together. The photographer may be following and getting some lovely shots of you both 'just being you!' You will get chance to chat and take in the moment together.
• Every hour take in a deep breath and really take in the day. Look around, breathe in the air around you, feel complete gratitude for your special day.
• Have a recieving line. Why? This gives you the opportunity to speak to every one of your guests, therefore, you don't need to spend the day running around and ensuring everyone has been spoken too.
• If there is chance once the meal has finished, maybe before cutting the cake, go round your guests tables. This is another way of mingling with your guests.
• Ensure your bridal attendants have certain tasks so you don't need to worry, i.e. everyone is seen to in the church (usually tradition for ushers to hand out the 'order of service', anyone who needs directions to the reception or help with anything your bridal party can help them, plus they can also take charge of the wedding guest book.
• Ask you bridal party to try and remember as much about the day as possible, so they can relay it all back to you when it's over.
• Hold a little gathering the day after your wedding to chat about all the things you missed. Reminising about your wedding is a fun way to re-live the day.
