There’s a kind of magic in those first few momen There’s a kind of magic in those first few moments after being pronounced married. A relief. The “whole point” of the day has happened. A deep breath, knowing the party’s about to begin. And a joy that bubbles up, because after all the months (or years) of planning and dreaming... you’re actually married. These real PDW couples nailed that just-married glow, and honestly, it’s one of our favourite parts of any wedding day.
