I have been an avid user of Twitter for a couple of years now and have built up a great range of contacts, across the country, of wedding suppliers, bloggers and vendors. However, when I came across this weeks guest blogger, I was bowled over by her ideas and what she does. I am forever going on about how important it is to have your wedding day photographed and/or videoed, the day will pass in a haze and once it’s done, your memory will play games and be unable to find all the details of the day. What today’s guest does takes that principal and adds a whole new twist. I won’t say anymore, I shall leave Emma to explain it to you herself, just be prepared to consider an amazing option to add to your wedding ‘must have’ list.
The Wedding Reporter
You’ve probably never heard of a wedding reporter before. That’s ok, it’s something that I made up earlier this year in order to offer betrothed couples the opportunity to have a literary legacy of their wedding; a very literal story of their day.
Why would you want this service? Well, aside from the fact that it’s completely unique and entirely tailored around you, it adds an extra layer of texture to your memories. You’ve been planning this wedding for so long that you think you’ll remember everything about it, but I can assure you that in the hurricane of chaos that is emotion, adrenaline and maybe even a drop or two of booze, the whole thing will whiz past you before you have time to savour it.
That’s where I come in. I am essentially a professional wedding guest, mingling with your friends and family and jotting down everything that I see, hear and feel in my trusty notebook. I’ll undoubtedly burst into tears at the entrance of the bride and possibly during the speeches, too. All of this helps add context to your wedding report, I promise.
Afterwards, whilst you’re off sunning yourself on honeymoon, I shall be writing maniacally to encapsulate the entire ambience and tiny details of your beautiful wedding into an entirely bespoke creative non-fiction account. This will ultimately become your property that you can choose to have published into a hardback booklet that my affiliated designer will create for you.
With a background in creative writing and training with the NCTJ, I have been fully coached in literary lessons from a very young age. I have always revelled in the way that the written word can invoke a memory or provoke imagination. I like taking time to think about the syntax of words and the structure of my sentences. This thoroughness is the very least that I can do when endeavouring to narrate what many people will consider to be the best day of their lives.
I recently got married myself, so I know exactly how manic a wedding day is and how much you want to cling to that little bubble of nuptial bliss. By combining my love of words with my passion for weddings I hope to provide you with a distinctive aide memoir to accompany your wedding photos or video, which you’ll want to pass on to future generations when you’ve finished reliving your big day.
