Preserve your Wedding Memories

It’s the most important day of your life: don’t let the memories disappear. Even the whole process of planning a wedding will bring a smile to your face years down the road, as you recall the madness of picking a motif and how something as simple as whether to order a rum or buttercream cake would keep you up at night.

So how do you preserve these moments, despite the crazy schedules, the general anxiety, where every day becomes a blur of talking to wedding suppliers and fitting the dress?”

First, keep a diary or a blog. Promise that you’ll write even just 10 sentences a day, about what you did, what you chose, what you hated on sight. If you’re not in the mood to wax poetic, even jotting down a list will preserve some of the day-to-day memories. “1. Had lunch with my bridesmaid 2. went to the salon to try out another hairstyle. I looked li.” You get the picture.

Consider buying a scrapbook where you can stick on swatches, receipts, photos from your makeup trials, cards. If you don’t consider yourself a “crafts” person, many scrapbook stores sell kits that pretty much make it as easy as “pick-and-stick”.

Make a time capsule for your future kids. Put in pictures of you and your fiance, a few love letters, a letter to them, and a letter to each other which you’ll agree to open on your 10th wedding anniversary.
