Beth and Lee tied the knot at Merthyr Tydfil Register Office and are planning a reception next year

Beth and Lee first laid eyes on each other at school. "We've been together for 18 years," shares Beth. "After eight wonderful years, Lee proposed in 2010 during a stay in Cardiff. We booked our wedding during the pandemic to keep it small and intimate. We originally had a meal for 30 people booked at The Bessemer Hotel, but since lockdown caused the venue to close we instead had a small ceremony at Merthyr Tydfil Register Office. We're planning to have a reception in July 2021. I'm going to re-wear my dress, we've booked a band and are treating the celebration as a second wedding with bridesmaids and ushers."

Aileen Robertson, Tesco Bank's Head of Savings, has shared ways soon-to-be-wedded couples and newlyweds can build healthy savings habits and step into 2027 feeling more confident about their shared futures! Aileen Robertson, Head of Savings at Tesco Bank, comments: "The start of a new year often feels like the perfect opportunity for a fresh start, with people embracing resolutions and looking to turn over a new leaf. But creating new habits can take time as people settle back into their routines, and sometimes those good intentions never quite get off the ground. "If you're trying to stay on top of your finances in 2027, taking small steps now can make that journey much easier. It's important to remember that it's never too late, or too early, to start working towards your goals. Setting them is the first step, whether they're big or small, so think about what you want your money to do for you. From here you can start to work towards your goals, building good savings habits along the way, and see your money grow over time."
