The best part about my Wedding Day was –

Seeing Asal walk down the aisle she was stunning, i could not have been happier. It was great to be surrounded by all our friends and family.

Any advice you can give future Bride and Grooms who are thinking about getting married in Thailand –

Do it. You will not regret it. It is not just one day, for us it was an entire week there was just an electricity in the air. Every day new guests would arrive at the hotel and we would sit down and enjoy a cocktail and a laugh. Everyone was relaxed, no one was worried about work or responsibilities because they were on vacation it really made for a memorable experience. A few of the best bits of advice I could give would be to get there a week early do any running around straight away before you start to relax because the closer to the wedding the more distractions you have with guests arriving. Have a meet and greet the day before for a few hours the Marriott organised one for us and it was amazing it rivalled the wedding! This is because there was no expectation and everyone could get loose including ourselves. It also encourages the guests that may not know anyone start to mingle.

Did you do any day tours while in Phuket, if yes what would you recommend?

No, But my family went to the Elephant sanctuary and raved about it they hopped in the river with the Elephants and got to wash them. We honeymooned in Phi Phi Island and did a private tour of the islands just the two of us it was lots of fun and some of the scenery was just spectacular we would definitely recommend getting out there it can be very busy though so pick and choose.
