The biggest day of your life



Your wedding day is probably the biggest day of your life, not that I speak from experience, but I've been to enough weddings to know that something really magical happens on that day.


Two people, happy in love, put away their childish fears of commitment and pledge to love one another for the rest of their lives, through thick and thin. A bold move if you ask me, and not one to be taken lightly either.


It's been such a pleasure to read all our entries into our wedding competition — although there were quite a few. It's so wonderful that so many people are so lucky in love that they cannot wait to get married.


But it seems that there's a lot of stress involved in getting married as well. As one of our 10 finalists said: "A wedding is a celebration of a relationship but the stress of planning and budgeting often detracts from what is important — the people involved."


This is so true and something all future brides and grooms should remember, it's about you, nobody else, it's about the love that you share, and about showing your friends and family just how much you care for each other. So whether it's on the beach in slops or at five-star hotel all kitted out, it's just as special.


Well done to our wedding winner Lucrisha Christians who will get married this August thanks to Celebration House!


While counting the votes yesterday I found this video of a couple's 'boogie' down the aisle. It really made my day. Watch it now!
