Couple Dancing

When we were younger we dreamed about the perfect stress-free wedding - buying ourselves a beautiful Alexander McQueen dress, having a horse and carriage, spending our honeymoon in the Maldives.

But as we grew up that dream died and we were hit with the harsh realisation that getting married is VERY expensive.

You're either a bridezilla or surprisingly calm which then makes you panic because you feel you should be mega-stressed.

And there are so many decisions to make:

  • The venue - is it in a good location – can our guests get there?

  • The guest list – you don't want to invite some of your partner's family, but comprise, right?

  • The food – why does your third cousin have to be vegan?

  • The price – not being able to afford that Vera Wang dress because you know, life goes on and you still have to pay for bills and food etc.

And that's just a few of the problems.

But all is worth it after you walk down the aisle and say 'I do'.

Then comes the first dance, we're sure there are a million songs you think of for your first dance song but Spotify has revealed the top 50 songs couples have for their first dance.
