How can people have “the best day ever” and not eat enough?! I can’t think of anything worse than a tight dress and being hungry and thirsty especially when spending like £100 per person on food and drink. Other than the getting married part, food is the main thing and it’s so important that you eat!! I’d be soooo grumpy if I didn’t eat anything and who is stupid enough to spend on average £1500 on a dress that you can’t sit down in?? People spend like 18 months planning a wedding and then neglect their basic needs and pass out? I truly don’t understand! I was a bridesmaid once and my whole memory of the day is tainted by being dizzy and hungry until the wedding breakfast because there was just no access to food and drink other than champagne. I asked a few people (brides family and staff members) for a glass of water when we were getting ready and was laughed at and my champagne glass topped up and my whole morning was me stressing about finding some breakfast because I knew I needed at least a slice of bread and butter to get me by but no one could help and I was looked at as if I was an alien like “wtf why do you need food when you have champagne?“ I was self conscious about my bad hungry breath which was made worse by the alcohol and I struggled to walk from the ceremony to the reception venue in my heels because I was definitely a bit drunk. The bride couldn’t care less though but she generally hardly eats anything anyway but I was genuinely so concerned that she hadn’t drunk any water that morning either. She kept saying it will be worth it because the wedding breakfast will be so nice and yeah it was but we were awake at 7am and the wedding breakfast wasn’t until about 3 or 4 and I really have no idea how anyone else in the wedding party coped for those 8+ hours on nothing but champagne because I felt so awful. The others were saying like omg yeah same but managed to hide it so well that I felt really alone like I was a fat and selfish piece of shit and I felt so bad for bringing it up like I was a spoiled kid or something. When I get married we are definitely having unlimited access to fresh water and food in the morning! Crazy how much A glass of water and slice of toast really can make all the difference! Gonna make sure I make as big of a fuss over that meal as I do for the wedding breakfast even though it will just be me and my parents and two bridesmaids getting ready in the morning. Lots of fresh fruit to help stay hydrated and yogurt/eggs for protein. Definitely having some kind of snacks for nibbling on after the ceremony as well 😅 I don’t ever want anyone to feel how I felt on my friends wedding day!! - it was amazing after I’d eaten btw, one of the best weddings I’ve been to! Just a shame the entire morning was ruined by spending all my effort on trying not to show how drunk I was/not cry/pretend it was fine and not act moody.

Ooh new camera and set up? :)
