Welcome To Our Newsletter
The 12th Edition of our newsletter brings you three new wedding advice articles as well as all our regular items and competitions.
We start with a look at how to choose the metal for your wedding ring, followed by some advice about getting married for the second time, and if you are, or even if it is your first marriage, then maybe you will want a pre-nuptial agreement, so we cover that as well. Also there is a quick look at getting married on the London Eye.
We also have all the usual features including tips, survey results and of course a couple of great competitions, the regular word search to win some chocolate from Little Red Dragon Crafts and the main competition to win £50.00 worth of Swarovski Table Crystals from Scatter Crystals

Wedding Ring - Which Metal?
 With some help from the people at Wedding Rings Direct we have put together a series of articles giving you all the information you need to choose the right wedding ring for you and your partner.
We start with looking at the different options you have when choosing the base metal of your ring.
The metal used in your wedding ring not only affects the look of the ring but also how hardwearing it is – think about how thin your grandmothers wedding ring has worn and you can see that rings worn everyday will wear away gradually. If your job involves manual work but you want to wear your ring all the time then look for a hard wearing metal.

Second Marriage
 If you are getting married for the second time around it is still a new beginning for you and your partner, a reason to celebrate and start your new life together.
According to statistics, four out of ten weddings that take place are now second weddings for one or both partners, and while those words ‘till death do us part’ are spoken once again, there are many reasons why those vows are no longer in place.
The death of a partner or a break down of a marriage is certainly a traumatic, lonely and sad time in anybody’s life and to find love again can be a truly magical time after so much unhappiness.

Pre-Nuptial Agreements
 Hearing the word ‘pre-nuptial’ throws our thoughts into the world of rich people, film stars and celebrities, where reams of documents laying down restrictions and clauses are poured over by lawyers and clients alike.
Marriages have even been known to be halted until signatures have been applied to the ‘contract’. A pre-nuptial agreement is a written contract between couples who are about to marry or live with each other. Terms written on the contract are a way of eliminated disagreements over assets and finances during the marriage or in the event of a marriage break down.

London Eye Wedding
The London Eye is fast becoming one of the Worlds popular wedding locations for those with a head for heights and a yearning for their day to be somewhat different.
Couples are joining a fast growing trend to exchange their vows while sipping chilled champagne and looking down at the capitals magnificent surroundings.

Wedding Chaos Blog
Last week we launched the Wedding Chaos Blog - a place to read the latest gossip from the world of weddings, find out what's hot and what's not in the wedding fashion scene and to share your opinions on topics such as 'Is it ok for the Groom to punch the Best Man on the wedding day'

Tip of the Issue
Don't forget about your hands as they will be the focus of attention on your wedding day. In the run-up to the big day, make sure you take a tube or pot of good hand cream to work to use regularly through the day (particularly after washing your hands as the soap most workplaces use can be very drying).
Thanks to forum member Caroline (Morticia) for that one :)
If you have any great tips please let us know on the forum
