You simply go abroad! well, that’s what the growing trend is these days when you consider the rising costs of weddings in the UK. I have friends who married under a palm tree in St Lucia - no veils or penguin suits - she wore flowers in her hair and he wore sandals on his feet on the sand.

Believe it or not a really economical place to hold a wedding is Las Vegas; another friend of mine chose from a selection of vegas hotels and flew the family over for the big day. The total cost £4000! including airfares, accommodation and wedding breakfast. Okay, the photographer was extra but you could always ask the guests to collectively pay for that service in lieu of a stash of gifts.

Moving overseas?

Many people are doing this nowadays. As large parts of Europe become ideal options for buying reasonably priced properties there has been a wave of folk moving abroad and settling in new countries. One thing that you need to address is how to actually get all your household items from one country to another - a hassle which can cause headaches when you are just moving down the street, but when you are going overseas?…

You need to call in the experts to handle the logistics for such an undertaking. People who are moving overseas can find all the assistance they need with International Movers.

This should take a lot of the usual stress out of the whole thing.

London welcomes the Big One!

The beautiful new aircraft, A380, touched down at London Heathrow this week with 471 very satisfied passengers on baord the Singpore Airlines flight. They had paid up to £7000 each for the privilege of their plush seat. I can understand this, I too would pay this for a ride on this plane…if I had it to spend that is.

This plane has a duty-free shop on board as well as a bar and bedrooms for the passengers who can afford to pay the price for them. I cannot say that I would opt for this plane for a short haul flight but if I was travelling to, say, Australia or New Zealand I would certainly consider it!
