The most important thing to Zoe and Tom was that they brought both their families together to celebrate their wedding. "All we wanted was a completely inclusive and family-based wedding that everyone (big Irish and Geordie families!) was invited to and welcome at", Zoe said. "We wanted everyone to mingle and mesh together in one big happy muddle. I think this was probably the thing that most people commented on too which was nice."

Ben and Helen's biggest priority for their May wedding was that it wasn't stressful. "I found being engaged very, very intense. I was the ultimate nervous bride", Helen wrote. "In the end I decided I really just wanted to keep it as simple as possible but still be our perfect day. Our 1950s look evolved naturally and really suited our venue, Stockport Plaza. We loved that the venue didn't need much extra décor too. It really took the pressure off."

Let's not beat around the bush: Weddings are bloody expensive. There's so much to think about and so many things to pay for, who can blame a girl for wanting to save every penny possible? There are a myriad of ways to plan a wedding at a pinch, but what if you've got your heart set on something in particular that doesn't fit in with your very strict budget? Is it ever OK to ask for a discount and if you do will those suppliers get mortally offended?

The eighties gets a bad rep: The big shoulder pads, the garish make up, the even bigger hair... But that didn't stop the National Vintage Wedding Fair embracing it!
