Plans and Presents in the final for Wedding Ideas Mag Awards 2011

I am utterly bursting with excitement to find a good friend has made it to the finals of the Wedding Ideas Magazine Awards 2011. Not only has she been shortlisted as one of 5 top wedding planners in the UK, she is the only one based in Scotland.

Alison works extremely hard on her wedding and event planning business http://www.plansandpresent.co.uk/ and has a reputation for knowing everything in the wedding industry.
Not only do I know Alison on a personal front, but she has also co-ordinated a corporate event for me in Oct 2010. Her efficiency is second to none.
So as she heads off to the awards in London on the 14th Jan 2011, decked out with her vintage headband from http://www.weddingandbaby.co.uk/ ( of course) - we wish her all the luck in the world. 

Natalie Portman has Wedding and Baby News ...www.weddingandbaby.co.uk

Making a doubly surprising announcement earlier today, Natalie Portman is said to be "indescribably happy" over her engagement/baby news. INF Daily

We are delighted for Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied of which 2011 is going to be a big year for them.

Now we think Natalie should officially be visting us at www.weddingandbaby.co.uk!!

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris engaged!

What a lovely time of year to get engaged. I wonder if they are planning a wedding for 2011 like many famous couples.

With a 60 year age gap wouldn't it be lovely if they decided to be on trend and go for a vintage themed wedding. Of course http://www.weddingandbaby.co.uk/ would be delighted to create hair accessories and jewellery for Crystal.

So what do you think about the engagement? What is the age gap between you and your partner?
