I walked into a door this morning.
I realise that this phrase can be a euphemism for domestic violence - as in Roddy Doyles very sad book - 'The Woman Who Walked into Doors'. Some people think that the church dictates that you marry for life and that's that. So they feel stuck in abusive relationships. This is not the case, as the word 'Cherish' is written into the marriage vows and anyone who abuses their partner has broken that vow. I would never encourage anyone to stay in a violent relationship. Best to leave with dignity intact.

The Secret World of Wedding Planning

Ok, so you’ve heard the horror stories about the wedding planner that took over the preparations and left the bride wondering what on earth happened to her dream wedding. You know they’re expensive, unnecessary, and are only for brides that are rich, famous, or too lazy to plan their own wedding. So let me tell you something that may come as a surprise – it’s all a big myth!

Despite the increasing popularity and prominence of wedding planners, there is still a lot of mystery surrounding the work we do. Be honest, how many times have you come across an advert for a wedding planner and thought “what do they actually do?” or “why on earth should I pay someone to plan my wedding when I can do it myself?”

Well, why not grab a cuppa (and a biscuit if you’re not already on the pre-wedding diet!), get yourself comfortable and let me take you inside the world of wedding planning...

With the current economic climate, couples are finding it harder and harder to be able to afford the Wedding they had dreamed of. With many venues feeling the decline in available budget that couples who are planning their weddings want to spend.

If this sounds like a situation you are experiencing, help is at hand.

Well it's that time of year again when most of us are destined to sit in hot cars in traffic jams or on suitcases in the airport awaiting delayed flights and hoping desperately to be re-united with said suitcase when actually arriving at the holiday resort. We must be mad!

We all have them from time to time, but a bad hair day on your Wedding day could be viewed by any bride to be as a disaster.
