Glasses & Contact Lenses
 Your glasses are a major part of you, and deciding if you will wear them on your wedding day, leave them off or opt for contact lenses is going to be down your own personal preference.
The deciding factor is obviously making sure you are able to see and take in all the wonderful sights of your special day without spending the whole time with squinting eyes.
Glasses are one of those necessities that are very much part of your everyday attire and so much part of your face that you may appear somewhat ‘weird’ when you don’t wear them.

Perfect Eyebrows
Eyebrows have a semi- permanent character that can either dominate your face or disappear entirely and with shaping, plucking and tweezing there is no reason why you can’ t have those perfectly shaped eyebrows that can open up your eyes and balance your features.
Perfectly shaped eyebrows will enhance the natural look of your eyes, accentuate your makeup and have an added bonus of giving you a mini face lift.
Getting that well groomed brow can be done either by yourself at home or visit a beauty parlour where you can sit back and let the professionals go to work on your eyebrows.

Honeymoon in Fira, Greece
Greece is well known for its many idyllic locations for honeymooners with romantic settings of glorious sunshine, breathtaking sunsets and magnificent scenery and the island of Santorini is well known as one of the best for that truly romantic and unforgettable honeymoon stay.
The island of Santorini was born from a massive volcanic eruption and the fumes that still rise from the active offshore volcano creating stunning and unforgettable sunsets which results in droves of cruise ships arriving to take in and marvel at the romantic views of the volcanic nights.

Joy and Ant - Wedding Report
The Day Before - Friday 19/12/2008
We already knew we had to be up really early because we needed to get our cake and take it to London. Off we went, a bit later than expected since loading up our little car full of wedding stuff wasn’t the easiest of tasks!
Ant seemed more worried about not seeing the dress in the back seat than making sure everything was in the car! We picked the cake up and with some difficulty we managed to find the safest place for its journey: my lap!

Elvis Presley
 Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu married in Las Vegas at a private suite at the Aladdin Hotel in May 1967. It was the first real celebrity wedding and it was a very civilized affair. The bride wore a white beaded dress and Elvis wore a regular Tuxedo which some sources say didn’t quite fit.
Colonel Parker, the since discredited, manager arranged a photo shoot and press conference for the couple. How does this compare to the celebrities of today and the vast sums paid for exclusive photo spreads? Litigation flies around with famous couples all too willing to take photographers to court to protect their ‘image rights.’
