Every little girl dreams of being a princess for a day………and that day is her wedding day! Let me share my dream with you…my day begins by stepping carefully down into a small boat, a beautiful decorated gondola, the person sitting next to me holds my hand lovingly and delicately, with a tear in their eye, as we set off down the narrow canals. We arrive at a small set of steps, a red carpet leads the way to the entrance of the church. I stand posed with butterflies and happiness, and turn to the person next to me, they gently give me a look that says everything is perfect, this is what I’ve dreamed a lifetime through!!! They place my veil and as I turn I kiss my Mum and tell how wonderful she is and how proud I am that she is standing beside me, about to walk me down the aisle! The church door opens, the harpist begins to play and I see my future husband standing,he gives me a smile that fills me with excitement. I think “there is nowhere else in the world I’d rather be” this is my dream come true! Now I’ve shared this with you, as though telling it like it were a story well the reality is that I’m arranging my wedding right now, small, intimate, traditional wedding set in Venice, Italy. It hasn’t been long planned as I’ve like every little princess I’ve dress rehearsed this day in my head for many many years. The veil is the last piece of the puzzle…… The princess becomes a bride.

Congratulations Joanne!

The best thing about this competition was reading everyone’s entries about their dream wedding. The overriding message was that marrying your partner is the most important thing, no matter where your venue is, what your dress looks like, or whether you have pink or white roses – a sentiment we completely agree with! If you are planning your wedding and feel stuck in a rut, go and read the comments, they’re sure to give you a boost and remind you what weddings are all about.

Keep looking out for more competitions in the future!
