NEW TV SHOW LOOKING FOR COUPLES

WE have been asked to see if any of you lovely people would like to take part in a new BBC3 Pilot show is  Looking for Engaged Couples to Test Drive Their Marriage.

“Have you ever wondered how people view you as a couple?  Would you like the chance to delve into somebody else’s engagement and see what they’re planning for their big day, and their future lives together? So much focus goes into the wedding day that sometimes the big questions get buried beneath the flower arrangements and seating plans.  We are looking for young couples who are interested in taking a voyage of discovery with their partner before the big day – an experience designed to give their marriage a better chance of lasting the course.

You need to have your wedding plans underway and be willing to explore your relationship with your partner. You will need to be open with one another about what you want from your life together – your strengths and weaknesses as a couple.  You will also be interested in finding out more about what makes people’s relationships tick.”

So if youre tyinh the not, and wanna share it on tv then contact the lovely sarh via email Sarah at sarah.pickering@lovewest.co.uk or call 0117 906 4350. tell her monir sent you..

The Coolest wedding of the year

5.9.2010, a date im not allowed to forget, (my wedding anniversary) and now the wedding anniversary of Tarek & Maraliz. Two extremely cool people, whose  warmth and kindness jump at you from the moment you meet them.  The wedding was held at Northcote House, Windsor.   A great historic building, which looks over the Berkshire country Side. The day started with the civil ceremony and ended with the salsa.

so enjoy the little memento of their wedding
