Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough
Every little girl’s dream is to grow up, fall in love and marry the one man whom she will have and hold, through good times and bad, till death do them part. Fairy tale weddings do come true, however, it is keeping the marriages that seem to pose a problem once the magical dust settles.
Marriage isn’t just a natural progression from fluffy cloud nines, or an escape route to ‘living on your own’. When you say “I do”, bliss and happiness do not simply fall into your life with a wave of a wand. Conversely, marriage is about the readiness to embrace the worst in couplehood and live out your wedding vows of ‘through bad times, bad health and poverty, till death do us part’.

There’s nothing wrong in paying a little extra to get THAT photographer who suits your taste in photography.
Nevertheless, there are a few items on the photographer’s checklist you definitely want to go over before your big day. Read on and do consider them when discussing with your photographer.

All fairy tale stories usually have a similar recurring theme in their animation movies. They usually involve a beautiful maiden, a male suitor, a baddie and definitely a happily ever after. Judging from all the children’s costume competitions that are so prevalent lately, it is easy to see that every girl has her own secret idol.

Creative ideas to say “Will you marry me?”
It was 16 July 2006. He had to stop by his mum’s place to grab some stuff and I went along with him. The moment he open the door, we were greeted by family members for my surprised birthday party. After blowing out the candles, he gave me three choices on a dessert tray. What are the odds? I actually chose correctly i.e. a slice of moist chocolate cake. Well, everyone was fooled.
