Choosing your Wedding Venue

Licensed Wedding Venues

There are thousands of licensed venues available in the UK today. Many of these venues offer the complete wedding service, often including the reception and accommodation. Couples are able to compose their own vows, assuming they meet the legal requirements. As each venue must renew their licence, it is worth checking that they still hold their licence before deciding on a venue.

Here comes the Bride (where is the groom?)


An Italian woman has married herself in a ceremony complete with white dress, three-layer wedding cake, bridesmaids and 70 guests.

"I firmly believe that each of us must first of all love ourselves," said Laura Mesi, a 40-year-old fitness trainer. "You can have a fairytale even without the prince."

The ceremony carries no legal weight.

Wedding Tips - Employing a Wedding Videographer

Capturing Memories with a Wedding Video

http://www.countybride.co.uk/bath/weddings/wedding-videos/

A wedding celebration is truly an event where you want to be sure that every important moment is captured. After all, we are talking about probably the biggest day in the lives of the bride and the groom up to this point.

Having taken care of all the wedding arrangements, and having made sure everything is in place, as a bride or groom you want to be confident of being able to relive and enjoy the memories of the wedding day for years to come.

One of the best ways to capture all of your cherished memories is with a wedding video. There are a number of ways to obtain the shots that you want, whether you enlist a single videographer or hire a few people to do the recording for you. Because there will be so many things going on during your big day, you will not want to have to oversee the pictures and videos as well. This is why it can be important to choose just the right wedding video professional to help you get every shot that you desire.

First Dance - Warning

The 'First Dance' at a wedding is a tradition where the 'guest of honour' (the newlyweds) take to the floor to open the dancing after the wedding reception.

Warning:
If you opt for a rehearsed, choreographed dance, make sure you choose a routine you are comfortable with.

Is this really a tradition?

The saying goes that to guarantee a successful marriage, every wedding should feature something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue - and, according to some, a sooty chimney sweep.

Wedding Speeches

Wedding Speeches
Many of us cringe at the thought of standing up in front of a large gathering to deliver a speech. After all, most of us have little or no experience of public speaking.

How different it would be if we had absolute confidence that the script we were reading from would completely capture the attention of our gazing audience. A speech that was emotive, enlightening, humorous (where applicable) and entertaining.

You can remove the stress and anxiety by employing the services of a professional Wedding Speech Writer.
