You have just taken the most important step of your adult life. You have chosen the man or woman of your dreams, fallen in love and (probably after living together for a while), gotten married. Now comes the first major barrier to cross together as a married couple. It is time to merge your finances. This is not just an issue, it is the issue in most marriages. Money is the one subject almost all married couples fight over. Perhaps that is why it is one we avoid as long as possible. Today is a good day to take control of this matter.

Some of these are fleeting (like internet-based quotes written on chalkboards), while others seem to last forever (who could tire of fairy lights?). Here is a list of some of the trends that are ready to be tossed to the curb and replaced with newer, more interesting options… Cupcakes as wedding cakes – it was cute and quirky. Now, it’s time to get more creative. Wedding cakes themselves have been transformed into incredible creations that reflect the personalities of the couple. Alternatively, opt for a bucket of Magnums, a tower of donuts, or stacked pancakes. Including your pets – a wedding is about including those you love in your most special of days. But, pets add a massive curveball. They are unpredictable, often uncomfortable […]
