I Do: Wedding resolutions for a happy new year

Planning a wedding can be a wonderful experience for some and a dread-filled, awful experience for others. The biggest difference between the two experiences isn’t necessarily budget, but time, your most precious resource. If you’ve been putting off your wedding planning (or starting it for some of us), the new year is the perfect time…

Uh, oh! I may need to demote my bridesmaid?

It’s really ironic that there was a questions asked on Ask Samantha not long ago about a bride’s sister having too many tattoos and, therefore, her not wanting her sister in the bridal party. It’s ironic because it has happened to me! Yep, my sister, bless her, has always liked to adorn her body with…

Katherine Von Drachenberg, will you marry me?” asked the 31-year-old…

A carnival engagement?

This is going to either sound absolutely insane or completely AWESOME! I, obviously, think the latter. Our engagement party is going to have a CIRCUS/CARNIVAL theme! C’mon, you love it, don’t you? Well, I do and I have been eating, sleeping and talking about this since the thought came into my head and, let me…

Wedding Trends 2012

Just wondering what your favourite wedding trend for 2012 was? I loved the whole throwback to vintage/retro but not everyone’s a fan. What colours, styles etc did you love? We saw a move towards live music and the comeback of veils, too! What have you loved – or not loved over the past 12 months?

Engagement questions

Morning, folks! So, I’m wondering, what were the biggest questions you had when you first got engaged? What did you want to know? What puzzled you? What did you want answers to that you couldn’t find? What was your biggest worry? Do share…

Bridal party attire: To buy or not to buy?

I know it’s not tradition but I hear a lot of brides and grooms now ask their bridal party to pay their own attire for the wedding. We are going to ask our bridal party to because, let’s face it, we have 12 people in our bridal party and, well, our budget just won’t cover…

Date, theme, budget, dollar signs

I am so look forward to marrying Mehdi and concreting this little family of ours once and for all. And, let’s be honest, I want my name to match on the Medicare Card, too. Boy, oh, boy looking at it all and thinking of it all, there is so much involved and, well, it all…

I’m so excited. There are 435 days to go until my wedding day! And I finally decided on a colour for the wedding. It’s going to be dusty pink for the bridesmaids and grey for the men’s suits. It took me a while to decide on this colour as I was originally thinking a soft…

Love at first bite: Would you like fries with that wedding?

There is no shortage of wacky (and not-so-wacky) wedding chapels on Las Vegas’ famous strip and, next year, US fast-food chain Denny’s will add yet another one.

Can I wed at Westminster Abbey when I get married next year?

Alas, the chances are not terribly high. Nearly 1000 years of tradition dictates that the only people allowed to marry at Westminster Abbey are members of England’s royal family, members of the Order of the Bath (and their children) or anyone who actually lives in the Abbey’s precincts. Westminster Abbey’s precincts are home to a…

Wedding photographer's hair catches fire during ceremony

South African wedding photographer Jacki Bruniquel takes her job seriously.

An ex to your wedding?

So, Jen Aniston’s beau, Justin Theroux has, allegedly, invited Jen’s ex hubby Brad Pitt and his fiancee, Angelina Jolie, to their upcoming nuptials. It’s a lovely gesture and good to see both parties have moved on, but it got me thinking. Would you invite your ex (and his/her new partner) to your wedding? Have you…

My 'interim' ring…

My fiancee Mehdi chose a beautiful interim ring. Our plan is to wait until I don’t have chubby prego fingers and then I can get this stunning white gold Swarovski crystal ring that I saw online. I didn’t want anything too expensive because, ask anyone that knows me, I am a cluts and I lose…

The wedding photo banned by Facebook

It’s one of Jo-Hanna Gordon’s favourite moments from her wedding day, feeding her six-and-a-half-month-old son Andy before heading off to church to marry his father. But not everyone sees the beauty in the image and, after a Facebook user reported the image, it was removed, much to the 25-year-old Canberra bride’s chagrin. “It’s my favourite…

Nine years and three kids. This is starting to get serious…

Everyone has been asking us the same two questions… It’s either “Why now?” or “How did he ask?” WHY NOW? My fiancee Mehdi and I started dating with the understanding that we were both looking for fun and that I didn’t believe in marriage. Boy, how things change? Even after having our daughter, I…

Wedding stories

Awww, how sweet is this story? This Chinese couple married 88 years ago at a time when cameras weren’t as readily available as today and, consequently, they didn’t take wedding photos. So, nearly nine decades on, they donned wedding garb and – finally – took their official wedding portrait! They look just gorgeous – and…

Our story: Monica and Mehdi

Mehdi and I have been together for almost 9 years. Wow, that sounds long saying it out loud. Although we have known each other for much longer than that, we just didn’t really know that we did. It’s kind of like a movie romance – minus Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I would say it’s…

Flasher ruins wedding ceremony

An American couple have had their wedding ceremony ruined after a flasher interrupted proceedings – twice.

A clip…
