Why wait thirty years? Celebrate the early ones under a glowing sunset.
Short summer reads…
Why wait for a milestone anniversary? So many couples save the big celebration for their 25th or 30th, as if the early years do not count. They do. The first and second years are when your marriage finds its shape.
I'm Leon of Twilight Ceremonies. Why wait till your 30th when you can celebrate your first year, or your second?
The Early Years Deserve a Moment
Your first year might have held a new home, a new job, a baby or simply learning to live as a married couple. That is worth marking. A short ceremony or an evening of photographs gives you a pause to look back and say, "We did that."
A Milestone Ceremony Doesn't Need a Big Number
My Milestone Ceremony is built around achievements and life events that bring you happiness, not around a round number. It starts at £450.00 on the live offerings page, with a personalised sunset ceremony at a location of your choosing and ten Polaroids. Your first anniversary is a milestone. So is your second.

Or Keep It Simple
If a ceremony feels like too much this early on, a couples sunset photoshoot starts at £95.00. You get an evening of candid photographs, Polaroids handed to you the same night, and digital images to keep.
Going Back to Where It Began
If you eloped, your first anniversary is a lovely excuse to return to the same lake or beach. First anniversary after eloping explores that idea.
Summer, and Anywhere You Like
Twilight Ceremonies runs in the summer months, so if your anniversary falls in winter, save it for a warm evening. North Wales gives you Foryd Bay, South Stack, the Llŷn and the Conwy coast, but you can choose anywhere, from your garden to the place you married.
Thirty years will come. The first ones are here now. Take a look at milestone wedding anniversaries, or book a sunset wedding anniversary for next summer.
The first years count, so celebrate them.
