Wedding Fayres Wales.co.uk
We are delighted to announce the launch of our new information website
www.weddingfayreswales.co.uk. Our designer Paul Adamson of Local View in Caerphilly spent a great deal of time at our fayres with us and we are really pleased with the result. The site has a great deal of information for Brides, Grooms and their families so they can continue with their wedding plans throughout the year. The site will be re-launched at the end of every season, with new content and interesting features.
An extra pair of hands on your wedding day
Bride’s PA is a new service which has quickly become invaluable to many
Brides-to-be and their families, bringing order to chaos, calm to frenzy and allowing everyone to enjoy the day.
The Bride’s PA service is the best wedding present you could have. We can do as much or as little as you require. On the run up to your wedding we often help with the planning and organising; errand running and ‘to-do’ lists. ‘On-the-day’ co-ordination takes care of everything so you can relax and enjoy your special day completely stress free. We can pack and unpack your overnight bag and honeymoon suitcases through to providing a dressing service to the Bride, Bridesmaids, Mothers (and Fathers!) on the big day. After the wedding we can tie up all the loose ends by taking any hired items back to the suppliers etc.
Whilst away on honeymoon we can check your property, look after your pets and even bring in groceries for when you return.

Prenuptial Agreements
Catherine Zeta Jones had one
Heather Mills McCartney didn’t
(and whose marriage continues to flourish?…….)
Safeguarding your assets may not be as expensive as you think.
When you are starting your life together as a couple, planning for things going wrong after your marriage or Civil Partnership ceremony may not seem like the most romantic way to begin. Recording your intentions at the outset can promote a happier relationship and save a lot of stress and heartache if things do go wrong.
We have experience in preparing Prenuptial Agreements and Pre-Registration Agreements which can be taken into account by a Court in the event that the relationship breaks down. We can offer you comprehensive advice as to how best to protect your position and we can point your partner in the right direction for independent legal advice.
Jeremy Levison, the divorce lawyer for tax expert Kenneth McFarlane – ordered by the Lords to pay his wife £250,000.00 a year for life after their 16 year marriage failed, said after the verdict:-
“ 1. Don’t marry;
2. If you do, make sure your other half is as wealthy as you are;
3. Do a Prenuptial Agreement and keep your fingers crossed!!”
