  • Throw in a few baloons

    For someone who is absolutely terrified of balloons, I can’t believe how much I love this. The folk at Bayside Balloons in Florida have turned a rather bland ceiling into a balloon wonderland!

    Bride interrupts her own ceremony – to send a text

    Oh, dear. We all know people who can’t stay off their mobile phones, but how many of you have heard of a bride interrupting her own wedding ceremony to respond to a text? We kid you not. It’s something that has to be seen to be believed, and you can do so below. The bride’s…

    The sun streams through as a beautiful bride smooches her fun-loving groom… awww…

  • Engagements period?

    Wondering about engagements today, folks. How long were you engaged for? Or how long will you have been engaged by the time you marry? Was yours a long engagement or a short engagement? And why did you marry sooner (or why did you marry so quickly)? Do tell…

  • I am in a friend's wedding party next year and am getting married a few months later. Do I have to return the favour and ask her to be in mine?

    There’s nothing you have to do. It is your big day, after all. As such, the question isn’t ‘do you have to return the favour’, the question is ‘do you want her in your bridal party’? Whatever the answer, you should think through both sides of the argument and consider whether you’re willing to live…

  • To elope or not to elope?

    Even if you’ve always dreamed the big-white-wedding dream, there are going to be moments, especially when the planning gets a little too crazy, that you’re going to contemplate the E word.

    Ladies and gentlemen… my DJ!

    We have been looking for our DJ and MC for a really long time. It is something that we wanted to make sure was perfect as music, more so dancing, has always been a big part of our relationship and this person is going to set the mood for the night. So many questions and not…

Plenty of couples organise it themselves. Did you organise fireworks for your big day? Did you need a permit?…

  • That special moment

    It’s so rare to get a shot like this, taken at the exact moment this fellow popped the big question. You can just see his joy and her happiness in this lovely, lovely shot.

  • Gift for a cook-bride-to-be

    What a fantastic idea for a bridal shower, especially if the bride-to-be loves to cook.

It sure beats an app…

    Following some pretty backless wedding gowns so far, what do you think about this Inbal Dror gown?
