Wedding advice – on a business card!
I was heading into Edinburgh when, around the corner, I ran into this bevvy of beauties. They asked me to photograph them by the Street Name, and laughed when I told them I was a photographer. They were on what we call a “hen night” – but were considerably more dignified than what we’re used to in Edinburgh – and they had a treasure hunt to complete.
Wedding advice on a business card!
The photo was one of the items required for the treasure hunt but then one of the girls asked if I could provide another item – “marriage advice on a business card”? I gave them my weddings business card (well you never know – maybe they’ll fly me out to the USA?) and I wrote “get a good photographer!” and “be happy!”. Not very sage really and as I walked away I thought of all the things I could/should have written. So if you’re the bride in question, and even if not, here’s what I wish I’d written…
- Don’t take each other for granted
- Surprise each other occasionally
- Don’t go to sleep on an argument
- When something bothers you – discuss it
- Dont bottle things up
- It’s more important to empathise than agree on something
- Never stop communicating
- Enjoy each other
-Good luck with the wedding and best wishes for the future, Leo
