Wedding planning usually starts with the visible things: the dress, flowers, invitations, table settings and a camera roll full of saved ideas. Those choices matter. They set the scene and give the celebration its character. But they are rarely the whole reason a wedding stays with someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A joke in a speech that landed perfectly. A song that pulled three generations onto the dance floor.
