Sweet Dreams
| Q | The day after our wedding is full of activities with our friends and families. How can we combat the wedding hangover? |
| A | Rebecca Swain says: No one wants their special day tainted by a nasty hangover the next day, especially if you have a hotel full of guests to go down to. Luckily, there are plenty of simple hacks that can help combat a sore head. Drinking alcohol impairs sleep quality, so those celebrating should allow themselves plenty of time to sleep in after the celebration. Sleep deprivation will also make the hangover more intense, worsening symptoms like irritation and tiredness, so avoid setting an early alarm if the party is on till late. Dehydration is one of the main causes of horrible hangover symptoms like headaches, so try to drink a couple of glasses of water before bed. This can help to rehydrate the body, flush out the toxins and curb the effects of alcohol in the morning. It's important to replenish the body promptly after waking up from a heavy night of drinking, so head to the breakfast bar. Try to eat a balance of carbs, protein and fats because it will help regulate blood sugar spikes and restore lost nutrients and vitamins. Avoid eating greasy foods, as they can cause fatigue. Getting some fresh air is a great hangover cure and it can help ease some symptoms like headaches and sickness. Take a brisk walk outside to get your endorphins pumping and you'll be feeling better in no time. Certain sleeping positions can help alleviate hangover symptoms. Sleeping on the left side helps with acid reflux, which can be triggered by alcohol consumption. Sleeping at an incline can also help reduce the chances of headaches and nausea. |

Furry Friends
| Q | Our friend suggested that we incorporate our dog into our wedding. Is this something that most couples do? |
| A | Lynsey Meades says: Did you know that over 70 per cent of dog owners admit they would rather have their precious pooch at their wedding than friends and family? That shows just how much we love our dogs! Our interest in having dogs at our weddings has increased in recent years, and research shows that 94 per cent of those of us who own a furry canine friend plan to involve them in our wedding. If you're planning to incorporate your furry friend into your big day, keep in mind that #DogWeddingOutfit currently has over 152,000 views on TikTok and #DogRingBearer has over 10.5 million views. We also discovered that 49 per cent of dogs attending their owners' weddings will be dressed for the occasion and 58 per cent of dog owners say they would change their dream wedding plans if it meant their pup could attend. |
