Celebrity Weddings
November 19, 2009
Don’t you just love a tacky celebrity wedding. Hideous dresses, over dramatic settings and a group of Z lister’s making up the numbers. Take Katie Price and Peter Andre for example, how OTT was their wedding?!! A horse drawn carriage and a hideous pink dress along with diamante corset and an over sized tiara, pass me the sick bucket! The white suit Pete was sporting wasn’t the greatest either.
Many people have tried to compete with celebrity weddings and have tried their best to recreate the day. Would you do this? Or do you know someone that has done this? If you have, let me know!!
Wedding Invitations
November 18, 2009
Deciding who you want to attend your special day is hard enough, let alone thinking about what wedding invitations to use. Do you invite everyone you know including the lady you met at the shops the other week, or do you just keep it intimate?
You might chose to have your picture on the front of the invitation to give it that personal touch or you might just go for a traditional white card with a small floral image.
You can chose to even have the menu’s and order of service to match your wedding invites, most stationers will be able to supply you with the full package.
Whether you decide to be extravagant or buy on a budget, make your invites special.
Getting Engaged!
November 17, 2009
I had a phone call off my friend earlier, she wanted to let me know that her boyfriend had proposed to her over the weekend! I am sooo excited for her! For a man, it must be hard to think of a special way to ask your wife to be to marry you. Do you take her to a romantic destination and get down on one knee? Do you whisk her away to a foreign country and ask her over a candle lit dinner or do you just pop the question whilst she is doing the ironing?
My friend’s boyfriend put a cheque for £3000 in her birthday card, got down on one knee and gave her a Haribo ring. If you knew my friend, you would know that she would have to pick the ring herself and it seems her boyfriend knows it too!
What do you think, is the most romantic way to pop the question?
Wedding Cakes
November 11, 2009
It’s nearly lunch time, so all I can think about is food!! That’s why today’s blog post is going to be about cake, wedding cake!
Picking your wedding cake is exciting stuff. Do you go for a mountain of mini cup cakes, a scrumptious chocolate cake or a tiered luxury cake with statues or you and your husband to be on top?!
You can normally get your cake designed exactly how you want it, or if you chose to, you can nip to the shop and buy a simple one which will taste just as yummy.
It doesn’t all just stop at a fruit or chocolate cake though. You could go for a coffee and walnut cake with a Mocha chocolate ganache filling if you dare!!
Get married abroad
November 10, 2009
More and more people are deciding to get married abroad. White sands, blue skies and your honeymoon all rolled into one.
There are loads of great value packages out there and it can all be done on a budget. Whether you chose to celebrate on a beautiful beach or in a chapel, your day will run smoothly without anything to worry about.
Forget about having to sort out the paper work and accommodation for your guests, this is normally included in the price of the package and you will get your own wedding coordinator who will be there to make sure that everything runs smoothly.
Wedding Dresses
November 9, 2009
Choosing your wedding dress is possibly one of the most exciting things a woman ever has to do! There are so many factors you need to take into consideration too, what colour do you pick, what style do you go for and how long do you have the train?!
If you just cant make you mind up and don’t like any that you see in the shops, then why not have one custom made! This may add slightly more onto the price, but it will mean you have exactly what you want.
You will need to supply all measurements, including hips and waist and even the height of your heels. You will let them know what colour you want and when you need it and hey presto, your custom made dress is ready and looks perfect for your big day.
Wedding Shopping Essentials!
November 6, 2009
What do I put on the tables? Who do I buy presents for? Where can I buy confetti? These are the kind of questions that worrying brides ask themselves before the big day.
There are a number of people who you should, but don’t have to buy presents for:
- Bridesmaids
- Page Boys
- Best man
- Ushers
- Parents
You don’t need to go overboard with what you buy, it’s just a token gesture and a big thank you for all their help on your special day.
If it is table decorations that you are thinking about then try and keep it fairly simple. Attractive ribbons and trims can make any table look glam, remember to add balloons and disposable cameras too!
That’s my wedding song!
November 5, 2009
If you aren’t married, or are planning your wedding, I’m sure you will already have the song you walk down the isle to, or your first dance already planned!
Most girls who are dreaming of a white wedding have already got plans on how they see their special day going. I had already picked my first dance song by the time I was a teenager and I made sure it was played, how I imagined, on my wedding day!
Music can instantly set the mood and if you choose a song which is special to both yourself and your husband to be, then it can make your big day seem all the more special.
How the music is played is up to you. You may decide to invest in a DJ or even a live band. Either way, make sure you book in advance to avoid any disappointment if they are fully booked!!
Wedding help for men!!
November 4, 2009
Dependant on the couple, men don’t always have a huge say in how the wedding is going to be run, colours, location or guests! But, they do have a HUGE part to play and need to make sure they get it right. Saying ‘I do’ isn’t the only job they have, they will normally have an empty bank account by the end of it and have to make sure their speech is to perfection!
Knowing that your bride to be will look absolutely gorgeous as she walks down the isle will mean that you will have to be groomed to perfection. Make sure your hair is cut and you have had a shave, no-one wants to see Rolf Harris as your vale is being lifted up!
This website will help you overcome all your wedding day fears and will make sure that you are set to go for your big day!
Man, 112 marries girl, 17!
November 2, 2009
The world is full of many weird and wonderful stories about marriage. Horses getting married, celebrities getting wed for less than a week and……a 112 year old man getting married to a 17 year old girl!!!!
Ahmed Mohammed Dore who has already married 5 times before and has 13 children was overjoyed after he took the hand of Safia Abdulleh.
Safia’s family didn’t seem at all bothered about the age gap, they have said that she is happy that he is her husband. Some people in Somalia are slightly worried about the huge age difference, with others being happy that the couple have found love.
“I didn’t force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love; and then we agreed to marry. It is a blessing to have someone you love to take care of you”.
