One of the great joys in life is a wedding - celebrating the love of two people with friends and family who love them too. Of course, no two couples are alike and therefore no two weddings should be alike. Thankfully, the days of the cookie-cutter wedding are over, and the trend is now all about creating a day that truly reflects who you are. After all, as with all good things in life, it is the unique and original that is the most memorable.
