The idea of splitting a wedding over two days—a smaller, intimate ceremony on the first day, followed by a larger, more laid-back reception on another day—gained popularity during the pandemic and remains a popular choice for post-COVID couples. This approach reduces the pressure of formality and having "all eyes on you" during the vows, making it feel more like a personal moment rather than a performance. It also allows for a more relaxed celebration with everyone else afterward. This is exactly what Sioned and James chose to do when they married this summer.
