Wedding Tip of the Week #3 - hug it up!

Parents, this one is for you! Your kids just said their "I do's" and marriedly bounced back down the aisle as you are following them. Now what? Start the receiving line?

Not so fast. Hug & kiss your kids first! Don't worry about protocol or assuming formation for the formal receiving line. Strangely enough, I find that many parents are not sure what to do after the ceremony. Here's my tip: they're your kids, they just got married and you're thrilled for them (you are thrilled for them, aren't you?) so HUG them, KISS them, pinch their cheeks. Don't worry about wrinkling a dress, smudging the make-up, posing for "formal" portraits as Uncle Bob pulls out his camera - that's not what it is about. It's about the joy and happiness you're feeling. Show it and hug your kids! Don't worry about the cameras around you, simply enjoy and let your wedding photographer capture the emotions of that moment.













And now that you're almost hugged out, enjoy shaking hands and sharing even more hugs & kisses with family and friends are you're standing in the receiving line.
