The Royal Wedding on E!

Posted on by

I remember my first Royal Wedding… it was the 29th of July 1981 and I was in Sub B (now known as Grade 2). Lady Diana Spencer was marrying Prince Charles., and the world was mesmerised. (Insert record needle scratching sound here!) But we all know how that turned out, so on to new memories.

Memories that will be made on Saturday, 19 May 2018, when Princess Diana’s youngest son, Prince Harry, marries Meghan Markle. And you can watch the whole event live, from the comfort of your living room, on E! (DSTV channel 124). Continue reading →

Bride & Co with EuroSuit – New 2018 Collection

Posted on by

Bride & Co along with Eurosuit recently launched their 2018 Collection, at the hip Mesh Club in Rosebank, Johannesburg. It’s not everyday that one gets to see exquisite wedding dresses up close and personal, so it was a rare opportunity to touch and feel the gowns.
