Do I need a Prenuptial agreement?

If you aren’t a Hollywood celeb or a member of aristocracy, do I need a prenup?
What happens if I have set up a thriving business before I met my partner or have other assets that I want to protect?
The content of a prenuptial agreement can vary widely, but commonly includes provisions for the division of property and support in the event of a divorce or separation. They may also include terms for dividing of assets as a result of divorce on the grounds of adultery, as well as custody arrangements if children are involved.
Prenuptial agreements have historically not been considered legally valid in England. This is still generally the case, although a 2010 Supreme court test case between the German heiress Katrin Radmacher and Nicolas Granatino, indicated that such agreements can “in the right case” have decisive weight in a divorce settlement.
So, if you are going to look into setting up a Prenuptial agreement each person must have sought independent legal advice for any court to consider its contents.

Wedding Wellies

If your Wedding Day is looking like it might rain, then plan ahead! Don’t just consider your hair and dress getting wet, but what about your feet as well?
Not all brides have the luxury of being able to arrive on the doorstep of their church or venue, so why not make sure your feet remain dry with a pair of wedding wellies.
Perdita’s Wedding Shoes supply wedding wellies that are already decorated and some that even have a heel. But if you are a bit creative, why not buy a plain pair of wellies and decorate them yourself.
Not only is this a very practical option if the ground is wet, but what a great opportunity for some fun photos!

Hen parties are becoming more popular at hotels that offer a spa as well. This can be the best of both worlds with all the facilities of a really nice hotel, with the added benefit of lounging around in a robe  and sipping wine all afternoon by the pool.

Church Weddings are on the increase

It seems that the nation was captivated by the Royal Wedding last year and it has inspired other couples to follow in the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s footsteps, with the number of church weddings rising for the first time in several years.
Despite fewer marriages taking place, four per cent more couples are opting for Church of England Weddings.
The new figures show weddings in churches went up to 54,700 in 2010 compared with 52,730 in 2009 and the statistics are expected to be higher this year following the Westminster Abbey event in April.
The rise also seems to have come after the Anglican Church relaxed its rules in 2008, allowing couples to marry in any area where they have lived for six months or where their parents or grandparents were married.

Civil Partnership ceremonies in churches

Fees for church weddings are set to increase to £415 in 2013

Same-sex couples are to be allowed to hold civil partnership ceremonies in churches and other places of worship in England and Wales, but  no religious group will be forced to host them.

Currently marriage between people of the same gender is not legal in the UK, but civil partnerships were introduced in 2005 to give couples the same legal protection as if they were married.

Ms Featherstone, a Liberal Democrat MP, said: “The government is advancing equality for LGB (lesbian, gay and bisexual) people and ensuring freedom of religion for people of all faiths.

“No religious group will be forced to host a civil partnership registration, but for those who wish to do so this is an important step forward.”

The service for civil ceremonies is different from a church ceremony, and can contain no religious content.

 

 

Night-time weddings to be allowed

No plans for Las Vegas style weddings.

Did you know that night-time weddings will be able to take place in the future, under plans outlined by the government as part of the Protection Of Freedoms Bill?
At the moment  couples can only wed between 8am and 6pm, but the changes will allow marriages to take place 24 hours a day in England and Wales. This will also apply to civil partnerships.
The changes are expected to boost the demand for evening civil wedding ceremonies, especially in the summer months.
However, do not expect to be able to marry in a Las Vegas-style chapel where in the past some couples have wed after a night of heavy drinking! You will still be required to give at least 15 days advance notice.
