So I've been thinking about this for a very long time and have decided that I will go and get some boudoir photos done. I've lost well over a stone since the engagement and it will be a treat for my...

A wedding video was never on the cards for us, it just isn't our thing. But since my mum has got really poorly we want a plan b if she can't make it on the day, so she can watch what she missed. Then...

I've had my eye on this dress for my bridesmaids for a while, and every so often I will check to see if it has gone in the sale. I think it was Saturday when I looked and it was reduced, so excitedly...

My OH and I are humanists and my partner in particular is a strident atheist. It was never on the cards to have a church wedding and we are doing away with quite a lot of the traditions that weddings...
