I think that was such a special touch, as it gave insight into their lives, which then meant that when i spent the day at the wedding, the experience was a more personal one.  More and more couples are doing this and I really encourage it.  The Knot offers a website for couples to easily set up info about their wedding day.

Mel & Jonty, thank you!  I had such fun with you both. x
