Indeed, there’s been a surge in ‘Bridezilla’ stories in recent years; they’re the brides who begin to act unreasonably because they want every inch of their wedding to be perfect. They’re called out on their behavior because it’s not fair to take out your stress on other people, which is often what happens, but also because in making a mountain out of every molehill, they’re complicating the situation. Weddings only need to have a few simple ingredients in order to be successful. Below, we take a look at a few things that every wedding should have. If you have these, then you’ll be on your way to a great day!

When Is The Right Time to Get Married- Really?
Collaborative Post¦ It’s something most of us in relationships have asked ourselves at one time or another when things are going well. When is the right time to tie the knot, to make the ultimate commitment by making things official by law?! Unfortunately there’s no one answer to this, as there are so many things it depends on. However, there are a couple of points to consider when you’re trying to work out the answer that’s right for you.
Finding the perfect engagement ring
Realising you want to marry someone and spend the rest of your life with them is euphoric. However, it can be nerve-wracking trying to work out how to propose to someone. Of course, a huge part of the proposal is the engagement ring. Choosing the right one is worrying; how do you know she’ll like it? I’m here to help you find the perfect one!
Love: My thoughts on it at 16 years old
What is love? It sure is something the world could do with some more of right now. I was recently going through some things on my bookshelf, when I found something I’d written when I was 16. Dated the 8th of October, I had a vague recollection of writing it in 2008, when I’d been dating my husband for almost a month. Although I’d previously had a blog, I didn’t have one at the time. Really, it kind of is a blog post, but written on paper.
One of my best friends had asked me what love was, when I told her that I loved my boyfriend. She told me that she didn’t believe what I had was love, as I was only a teenager. She used examples of old couples where one has dementia and the other takes care of them as true love. While I believe that love gets stronger over time, I truly believed that what I felt at that time was love. The fact that I have now been happy with Dave for 9 years hopefully reflects that! After having the discussion we had over MSN messenger, I felt like I wanted to write about it. When I found this letter, it was interesting looking back and reflecting on my teenage thoughts about love.
