There is a huge disconnect in the wedding world. One partner can spend a year hunting for the perfect outfit while the other ends up in a rented tux chosen a fortnight before the wedding. It doesn't have to be that way.Read more...

Wedding planning is supposed to be joyful. But for many mothers and daughters, it unexpectedly becomes emotional, tense, or explosive, and usually not because of flowers, seating charts or venues.Read more...

Nostalgia feels good, so it’s no surprise it keeps finding its way back into weddings. What we loved in our younger days always resurfaces. Lately, there’s also been a clear move away from everything living online. An analogue response to a hyper-digital world where every moment is documented, filtered and uploaded before it’s even finished happening.Read more...

Buying a house together, getting married, separating, switching careers, starting a family. Big life changes have a habit of forcing you to look at the practical side of adulthood, and your mortgage is usually somewhere near the top of that list. What worked a few years ago might not fit your life now, especially if your income, relationship status or long-term plans have shifted.Read more...

Mrs Greenfield?" I sat there in the doctors office nonchalantly flicking through a three year old version of OK! Magazine. There was silence in the waiting room as I internally judged the person who had missed their appointment. The NHS is already stretched without selfish people not showing up. "Mrs Greenfield?" I think I like how my new name sounds. I’ve loved him for eight years, he’s my family. There’s something soft and lovely about the idea of sharing a surname, of seeing it one day on a birth certificate next to our baby’s name. It felt like choosing our family name, not just borrowing his. A shared identity. "MRS GREENFIELD!"Read more...

There are several different ways to get married in the UK, and these vary depending on which country you live in. Couples who are religious may want a wedding led by a vicar, priest, rabbi, or other religious leader. In England and Wales, broadly, this can be legally recognised if it takes place in a building licensed for marriages. If you’re having a religious wedding, do check that your ceremony will fulfil the legal requirements.Read more...

When I was eight, I came down with the flu. Coincidentally, it was about the same time my Twilight DVD was delivered so, for two and a half weeks, I watched that movie obsessively – the deleted scenes, the commentary, every little detail. It was my first real introduction to the idea of love as an unwavering, never-ending commitment. And when I got engaged in August last year, Bella and Edward’s wedding became my inspiration. From the flowers to the music to the idea that love can be an intentional, loving choice between two people.Read more...

Let's be honest for a second. When guests look back on your wedding years from now, they're probably not going to remember the exact shade of your napkins or whether the centrepieces had eucalyptus or olive branches. But they will remember if they had to wait forty minutes for a watered-down gin and tonic. The bar is where your wedding either becomes the party everyone talks about for years, or the one where people slipped out before the cake was cut.Read more...

What is more romantic than saying “I do,” followed immediately by arguing over which box holds the toaster? This is the hidden chapter of marriage. A post-wedding relocation combines the emotional high of a new life with the logistical nightmare of moving everything you own. More couples are relocating after marriage than ever before, driven by remote work policies and the high cost of housing in major cities. The wedding ends but the real test of partnership begins in the packing aisle.Read more...

Having an “alternative” wedding isn’t about being different for the sake of it. It’s about crafting a day shaped around you and what you want it to look, and almost more crucially, feel like. If you blindly follow the formula, you end up with a timeline built around traditions you don’t question, photos you don’t even want, and a day that runs more like a production schedule than a party. It works, of course, but it isn’t always the right path, especially if you or your guests are neurodivergent.Read more...

We got married back in 2022. And, slightly embarrassingly for someone who runs a photo book company, I only made our wedding album last year. Not because I didn’t care about the photos, quite the opposite in fact. They were some of the best photos we’d ever had taken.Read more...

By now you’ve probably already heard the story about how and why diamonds became the go-to stone for engagement rings. But just in case you haven’t, the answer is marketing! Before the mid-20th century, diamond engagement rings were not the universal tradition they are today. In fact, many people proposed with other gemstones or family heirlooms.Read more...

When you hear “Prague stag do” you’re probably picturing all the clichés: Matching T-shirts, plastic pint glasses, and a loose schedule that really just revolves around getting as drunk and disorderly as possible. You can do that if you want, but Prague has a whole other side that makes way more sense if your group leans more alternative, creative or you don’t just want to be herded between bars all weekend. If you’re planning a Prague stag or hen weekend and want something that actually feels like you, this is where it gets interesting.Read more...

A cheap wedding and a bad wedding are not the same thing. Some of the most joyful, memorable weddings cost very little money, and some of the most expensive weddings feel like a corporate conference with flowers. The difference is rarely the budget. It’s how couples choose to spend it. If you’re planning a wedding without a huge budget, your goal probably isn’t to make everything as cheap as possible. It’s to spend money where it matters and skip the things nobody really notices anyway. Here are some genuinely cheap wedding ideas that still feel thoughtful, fun and completely intentional.Read more...

I’m like a wild stallion,” I hear myself say. “Frolicking through the forest.” I’m sitting in a sports bar. I’m 30 years old. I know nothing about horses. “And then one day a fence is built around the forest. And even if it were the biggest fence ever, and it was so big I would never even reach it to see it in person, I would still know it was there.” This is how I explained my aversion to marriage a decade ago, to the person I professed to love, who I’d been dating for four, and then five years. I would be trapped; the part I left unsaid.Read more...

Let’s face it, gaming is a key part of many get-togethers these days. While it isn’t necessarily everyone’s cup of tea, we’ve all been at parties where a console machine is being explored in the corner of a room. For gaming-mad couples, when it comes to planning their wedding, adding a gaming setup for the big reception is an option.Read more...
