Teenage sweethearts, Katie and Tim, celebrated their wedding at the grand Stradey Park Hotel & Spa

Katie and Tim met at their local nightclub when they were teenagers. “We were introduced by a mutual friend but weren’t looking for anything serious at the time,” says Katie. “The next day Tim took me on our first date to the beach, and within two weeks we were ’official’. I don’t think either of us thought too far into the future at the time as we were so young, but we made it through university, brought a house a year after and two years on we had a beautiful daughter.”

Tim popped the question on their 11th anniversary. “We booked a night away at Celtic Manor Resort,” shares the bride. “After a lovely day at the spa, we were having a drink on the balcony getting ready to go out for a meal, when he surprised me by getting down on one knee. It was such a nice feeling phoning family to tell them, and then spending the evening in our newly engaged bubble.”

Penmaenuchaf completes transformation

Set beneath the slopes of Cadair Idris and overlooking the Mawddach Estuary, Penmaenuchaf has completed a four-year transformation reimagining the historic country house as one of Wales' most distinctive luxury retreats. Shaped by the Welsh concept of hiraeth, a deep emotional connection to place and a longing for somewhere that feels like home, the refurbishment was created in collaboration with renowned interior designer Nicola Harding, and brings together Welsh landscape, craftsmanship and storytelling across all fourteen bedrooms and the hotel's shared spaces. The final phase of the project marks the completion of a carefully considered programme. The remaining five bedrooms have been individually redesigned and named after Welsh landscapes, historical figures and mythology.

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

New app launches to simplify one of marriage’s biggest admin headaches

Changing your name after marriage can mean updating details with countless organisations, from banks and subscriptions to official documents and employers. New app Name Change Navigator aims to make the process easier, guiding newlyweds through each step from one platform. Founded by Rebecca Dainton, Head of Product at Flutter UK & Ireland, the app was created to reduce the stress and mental load associated with name changes. It supports a range of naming journeys, including traditional surname changes, double-barrelling, blended surnames and other choices following marriage, civil partnership, divorce or personal identity changes. The launch comes as younger generations increasingly rethink traditional naming conventions, with technology offering a more streamlined approach to this often-overlooked part of newlywed life.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
