The main consideration for many couples getting married is how much it is all going to cost. Things can add up very quickly and hundreds turns into thousands. It can be a headache knowing where to go to get best value for your money.

At My Wedding Planning Ideas we have looked at a number of different companies that offer differing services and products. We would not consider promoting them unless we felt they matched the standards of service, value and expectations fully.

One such company we are very happy to mention has a huge catalogue of products and great customer service.
They are called Confetti and are well worth a visit.

Check out some of the excellent promotions they have at the moment, including items that will be ideal for Mothers Day on the the 3rd April 2011

Confetti

With thousands of television viewers, the British Telecom couple Adam and Jane have kept audiences following from their first on screen meeting in 2005 to their forthcoming marriage on 23rd April 2011. BT is running a facebook competition asking people to help choose from wedding dresses to the first dance song.

Most who follow will know all about Adam and Jane, but just in case you missed anything we thought a brief history of this fictional family here along with some of the better videos would be a nice reminder.

About Jane

Jane is a single Mum bringing up two children when she first meets Adam in 2005.
She is very independent but careful about entering any new relationship. Adam makes her feel good and helps to brings out her cheeky sense of humour. She has a sensitive side but is not afraid to show who is boss and enjoys friendly banter with Adam

They recently moved to Cornwall which put some stress on their relationship but they pulled through and she couldn’t be happier to find out that she was pregnant.

With a baby on the way and marriage planning ideas she is turning to the public to help her with some of the decisions.

About Adam

Adam is around 35 and starting a relationship with Jane. he has found himself as the substitute father of a ready-made family.

He feels quite awkward in emotional situations and is forever trying to bond with his stepchildren with varying degrees of success. His time away from the family in Cornwall made him realise what he could have lost.

Now he’s engaged, and with a baby on the way, he’s more keen than ever to make things work and make the most of his new role.

Watch the Videos below to catch up with the story so far and the clever campaign to choose the wedding dress, wedding car and their first wedding dance.

Grahame and Kim

It is good to see that things that do not always go to plan, still do not upset the day.

In the UK the former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott agreed to give away the bride of his favourite restaurant owner on their wedding day. During the ceremony John Prescott’s phone went off with one of mobile phones loudest ring tones. Highly embarrassed he fumbled around in his pockets to turn it off, but not until it had caught everyone’s attention.

Everyone saw the funny side and the wedding continued without any further problems.

Mr Prescott is well known for a number of controversial difficult moments including punching a member of the public that threw an egg at him and having an affair with his secretary.

Let us know if you have any good wedding stories.
