sunday love: old and new wedding traditions

There are so many wonderful old traditions that couples choose to follow on their wedding day including giving wedding favours and having 'something old, something new...'.
.
There are also a few new traditions popping up recently. Some of my favourites include anniversary time-capsules, photo-booths and dessert bars. But I have to say my favourite new tradition is when the couple meet up before the ceremony... 'the first look'. I just love their reactions at seeing each other for the first time on their special day.
