What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
My bride had recently lost her dad but the wedding went ahead. She was getting married on the outside of the venue on the lawn. A member of the waiting staff was putting the final touches together for the wedding breakfast and noticed a photograph of the brides dad on a table near the window. As the waitress saw the bride walking onto the lawn, she simply turned the picture of the bride's dad around to face outside the window, just so he could see her get married. How cool was that!
