But when she did, she put together a classic breath-taking 'do' that was nothing like the crowded weddings that we have often have here.

'The dress is supposed to be free down,'she explains.

All we can do is wow at the beautiful bride and wish her a happy marriage.

I am addicted to looking at bridesmaids dresses.Because, you see, the thing with maids is that they can make or break your wedding.

No matter how stunning one's wedding gown may look,at the end of the day a bride has to take pictures with her maids in tow.

It therefore makes sense that if you are planning to wed,pay as much attention to your bridesmaids outfits as you would to your own.

That way you will have a picture perfect wedding.

Qualities that were not very popular in our rather conservative culture.

But now, with the advent of social media,more and more people are embracing modern trends and preferring individualism over popular choices.

And that is why Vencyz collection was welcomed with open arms.

We no longer have to fly abroad to buy clothes that are trending on the Hollywood red carpet, but can now order them here ,made and designed by our own.

The former dream girls singer had been silent for a while,perhaps to try her hands at something else, but now she is back.And to prove it,she took some sultry pictures for her fans to admire.

But that is not to say that her husband-to-be is poor.He too comes from a very rich family so its a classic case of money marrying into money.
Today, the young couple flew over '200' family and friends to South Africa to celebrate with them in what they have called a ''white wedding.'' The guests' tickets were fully paid for and they are bound to stay in a five star hotel whose prices are over 500 dollars a night, per individual.Lavish!
So as we anticipate the pictures from the wedding,here are a few breath taking moments we have had from the couples' pre-wedding ceremonies, so far.
