Wedding ring reunited

'Irreplaceable' wedding ring reunited after chance find by Dorset resident.

After discovering a wedding ring while walking his dog, Steven Rockett thought he'd never find the owner. That night he stumbled across a Facebook post from Suzanne Richmond, the owner of the ring, completely by chance.

The encounter led to Suzanne being reunited with her ring which sadly, she squashed accidentally with her car after dropping it. She's worried she may be giving her husband the wrong impression but is very grateful for Steven's find and honesty.

Traditions and Customs

Departure of the Bride and Groom

Traditionally a time for the best man and friends of the couple to be a little mischievous. They would decorate the going away car with balloons, crazy foam and tin cans without the couples' knowledge. The best man would announce the departure of the newlyweds, who by this time would have changed into their going away outfits. The guests would usually participate in the throwing of confetti or rice over the happy couple.

So as not to disappoint the guests, it is recommended the couple have a strategically placed second car a few miles up the road, in which they would continue their journey.

Webbington Hotel & Spa

Ideally situated in the peaceful Somerset countryside, the Webbington Hotel and Spa, with a choice of nine different reception suites, is the perfect venue for your wedding ceremony and reception.

Britons find Wedding Planning stressful

Study claims that Britons find Wedding Planning stressful...

From compiling the guest list and selecting a venue to exploring cuisine, brides and grooms have their work cut out when planning their big day.

A poll of 2,000 British married couples found seating arrangements, photography and venue decor were key tension-contributors, with 52 per cent declaring the whole process "stressful."

The survey found brides will try on four different wedding dresses on average.

Eighty three per cent of repondents said they were heavily involved in the planning of their own wedding, while the remaining 17 per cent were happy to take a backseat and let someone else do the work.

Wedding Stationery

Among the endless decisions to be made before a wedding is what type of wedding stationery you will choose. Wedding stationery includes at least the wedding invitation itself and the outer envelope. Some people choose to include an RSVP card along with an accompanying envelope. And a Save-the-Date card could even be included in this set. The Save-the-Date card is of course mailed out before the actual wedding invitation.

In choosing your stationery, you first want to consider the overall theme or style of your wedding. You may choose to match the theme, or at least the colours, to the wedding. Of course, rather than match the colours exactly you may decide to choose colours that will compliment the wedding theme.
