I try not to be biased, but sometimes I just can't help but fall extra in love with a couple and their story. I've actually met Kirstin a few times (and she's a blogcadette - holla!) so when she told me she's met and married Ash within nine months (!) and that her mum and his dad were also married to each other, I couldn't wait to share their story!

Dave and Eve were married on La Cuesta Ranch in San Luis Obispo, California. Growing up in New York, Eve's dream was to have a wedding in a wide open space and completely removed from civilisation. La Cuesta Ranch gave them that and so much more!

At the last Blogcademy class of 2014 in Auckland, we were lucky enough to have Josie of Wink helping us decorated the space. I loved her creations so much that I asked her if she'd do some DIY tutorials for the blog and print magazine over the coming months. Luckily she agreed! I think this Polaroid banner idea is super adorable and would be amazing to hang at your wedding reception. Over to you Josie!

Jody always wanted a steampunk themed wedding, but their theme really came to life when they booked their venue. It came complete with a funfair! "When it came to planning our wedding there were very few surprises for anyone who knew us", Jody began. "I have never been one for anything traditional and after 12 years of catering weddings James did not want anything traditional either."

For Roxane and Pierre, a relaxed homespun wedding was perfect. Their small ceremony was held at city hall, and they hosted the reception in the bride's house. "Pierre and I met in Qatar, where we both work as airline pilots", the bride began. "Everything happened very fast and after eight months together we decided to move in together. The only problem was that you are not allowed to live together without being married in Qatar so we decided to get married!"

Do you dream about being your own boss, calling the shots, and never being told what to do? Do you want to live and work wherever you please? Are you desperate to be creative, to speak your truth, to find your tribe, to create something meaningful... and to get paid for it? I did too, and since starting Rock n Roll Bride my life has completely changed. I've won awards, been interviewed on television and radio, and been featured in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire and Grazia. I've been profiled by the BBC, flown to Australia on an all-expenses paid trip, and become editor in chief of my own magazine!

If you're sad about the fact that your wedding day will be over in a flash, why not do what Mark and Alex did and have a two-day celebration?! They wanted both parts of their wedding to have their own unique personalities, so day one was a casual fancy dress festival party, and day two had a more glamorous, sparkly theme.

Intimate and Glamorous Vintage Wedding in Cairns

Jamie and Mat's intimate wedding was held by the marina in Carins, a tropical paradise in the north of Queensland. Their ceremony was right by the water, and their reception was held at Salt House restaurant. "We met while I was working at the Cairns night markets airbrushing hats", began the bride. "I noticed Mat walk into the markets and prayed he didn't come to my booth as I was covered in paint... but over he came to order some hats. I stumbled through conversation with him, discovering we were both originally from the small rural town. It was definitely lust at first sight! Two weeks later we went on our first date and we haven't spent a single night apart since! He proposed after just three months and we were married three months later!"

The Blogcademy Online launches this Thursday (eeek!) so to celebrate and get you all warmed up, I thought it would be fun to do another Q&A post. But to throw a cat among the pigeons, I decided to record myself talking through my responses, instead of just writing them!

Retro, Foodie and Movie Themed Wedding

Being big foodies, Billy & Laura knew they wanted to serve up an amazing feast at their wedding. But they wanted to do it in their own way, so a Full English Breakfast it was! "Overall we just wanted our wedding to be the best party anyone had ever been to", wrote the bride. "We wanted great food, music and laughter. We definitely wanted our food to be different as we’d attended 8 or 9 weddings the year before and had (albeit very tasty) the same meal over and over."

But What if You’re Disappointed with the Proposal?

There is a lot of pressure surrounding weddings. Pressure to have the most gorgeous celebration, to spend the most (or least!) money, to DIY up a storm and for everything to be utterly picture perfect. So it doesn't come as a shock to me that proposal expectations can also be sky-high for the soon to be betrothed.

Don't get me wrong, love is a wonderfully glorious thing, but the forced "We're so in lurrrve, let's spend lots of money on overpriced bouquets and go to a packed restaurant with everyone else that's also in lurrrrrve" attitude around Valentine's Day isn't really my bag.
