One of the most talked about weddings...EVER
"This moment will be a signature event in what psychologists call your 'autobiographical memories'.
"These are very positive memories that can help you be happier for a lifetime.
"In the future, as you look back on the day, it will trigger a cascade of positive emotions associated with it.
"The memory of that moment after you say 'I do' and turn to face your guests is one that can benefit your relationship life and your happiness long after."
It's a huge moment
Dr Pillemer clearly knows what he's talking about for he's spent the past five years interviewing long-term married couples for research purposes and he stresses the importance of savouring the moment.
"Don't rush it. Take a few seconds to focus on what you want to recall decades from now.
"Studies confirm that consciously looking for positive features of experiences make a great difference in your emotional life.
What better time to do so than immediately after you made a lifetime commitment?"
