I was wondering……what makes couples choose a location for their engagement “shoot”… Is it usually the place where they currently live? somewhere uber pretty to make a particularly immense backdrop? The actual destination of the proposal perhaps?

Or how about, like Katie and Tom (and partly due to rain) you have your shoot in a similar place to where you met….down the pub.

I like this a lot. I think it’s super cute. There are no props (unless you count a pint of cider) but heaps of love and happiness, which is the whole point anyway. I also have a girl crush on Katie because a) She’s welsh b) She’s quite clearly beautiful c) I’ve met her in real life and she’s as lovely on the inside as the outside.

Katie shares her wedding plans in amongst the images so do have yourselves a butchers and let us know where you are having your engagement/pre W-day shoot and why in the comments box below.

All of the moments were captured by the awesome Love Lust List member Mister Phill.

Tom and I met in a pub in London several years ago, but at the time I was at University in Swansea and he worked in London. We kept in touch online until one day in February 2010 he told me he was booking train tickets to come and visit me. The second he stepped off the train with his big brown eyes and huge grin – and without asking gave me a huge kiss on the lips – that was it.… View the full post.

Is it me or is everyone feeling the love more than ever this week? I think it’s a combination of celebrating my anniversary, RMW’s Becky’s beautiful baby boy Leo arriving on said anniversary (I know! how ace is that?!) and the amazing affairs we have featured this week.

To continue in our quest for the ultimate in happy-ever-after I’m going to share the engagement shoot and associated romantic story of Ricky and Alison.

This pair are achingly hip, the photography by Claudia Rose Carter is immense and Al’s words are both beautiful and poignant.

Leave some love in the comments section should you be feeling it too and be safe in the knowledge that yes, we will indeed be sharing their wedding….it’s freakin’ EPIC.

Al’s Love Story: Ricky and I met in Liverpool whilst working at a clothing store. We laugh and say our love developed through the lazers of liverpools nightclubs but the truth is i loved Ricky from the start! 

Ricky fascinated me. He seemed interesting, out there, a little strange even? Strange is wonderful, strange is intriguing & strange totally led me to want more…

7 1/2 years later our journey of love has gone from strength to strenghth. Each day I wake up and smile at the thought of being a wife to my Sailor. We’re on a voyage and I just can’t wait to live the adventure together.

Our wedding pretty much sums us up – fun, retro, party, wholesome, love. Getting married outside inspires us!… View the full post.

Every time I see this film I cry.

And I would’ve put it with the original W-day post but frankly it deserved a slot all of it’s very own.

Xander and Christine of Navy Blur fame’s romantic rustic extravaganza was super popular with you gorgeous lot and I know their movie will make you melt.

So lovelies, grab yourself an afternoon cup of tea, a kitkat (or maybe a marshmallow on a stick) and enjoy the JOY.

A conversation with Mr Gossip Girl, aka our Adam, late one afternoon not so long ago at RMW HQ was the inspiration for this post.

You see folks, I’d been talking about the speech that I’ll be giving at my wedding later this month and was pointing out how I’d noticed that more and more brides were choosing to say something of their own on their big day when Adam turned to me and asked ‘when did you know you were going to marry Ste?’

Momentarily I was taken aback. It’s not a topic that anyone has ever quizzed me on and I suppose I was protective of my response to his question. That said, I had no real problem with answering him truthfully.

‘Three months in’ was my reply.

Admittedly, this does sound a little bit crazy. I’m sure for some of you the beginnings of my relationship with the boy sound a little ‘intense’ shall we say. But it wasn’t like that.

I’m happy to concede that the radiant glow of the ‘honeymoon’ phase of any relationship does make you see life through rose-tinted glasses rather than being guided by the cold light of day. And accompanying this optimistic, hedonistic, bubble of love can be some impolitic decision making.

Despite the lovey gloopiness however, I just ‘knew’ he was the one for me. And when you know, you just ‘know’, don’t you.

Know what I mean?

Was it like that for you? At what point in your own relationship did you start entertaining the thought of marriage?… View the full post.
