A British couple now shares a rather unusual surname. After tying the knot in a pre-second lockdown wedding, the pair now go by Mr and Mrs White-Christmas.
Tilly Christmas and Kieran White met as children and got married on Tuesday [November 3] at the Roman Baths in Bath, just before England began its second lockdown.
Christmas already has a unique surname and decided to keep it after marriage. However, combining her surname with her husband’s surname was an offer she could not refuse.
“I wanted to keep the name going. It just so happens the man I am marrying has the perfect surname to go with it,” she told the BBC.
The pair first realised their surnames came together as the festive White-Christmas at their secondary school prom when their friend uploaded pictures to social media using #WhiteChristmas.

Tradition dictates that only the bride can wear white on her big day. Well, it’s 2020 and rules are meant to be broken!
The tradition of brides wearing white began with Queen Victoria back in 1840, and has been an accepted and essential part of weddings ever since. However, many brides are skipping tradition and creating memorable weddings following their own tastes on desires. Some opt to not even wear white.
Why not take it one step further and have your bridal party dress in white too? The key to pulling off this trend is contrast. Even though everyone is wearing white, guests should immediately be able to tell who the bride is. Keep enough difference between your dress and your bridesmaid dresses so that the roles are clear.
Here are some beautiful bridal parties wearing white and making a statement.

While many brides want to be different on their special day, your hair is not something you need to be unique.
There is no need to go crazy with a wedding hairstyle. In 20 years time, you don’t want to look back at your wedding pictures and hate your hairstyle. Sometimes, a classic look is best.
Soft flowing waves or a chic chignon are popular for a reason. They are eternally glamorous styles that have been in fashion for decades.
Whether you want your hair up or down, a simple hairstyle can quickly be elevated by adding a fun hair accessory. From a flower crown to jewel-encrusted clips, choose a look that goes with the overall vibe you have in mind. This way, you have the classic look with a little something for added personality.
Take some inspiration from these brides.

When crafting a wedding look, many brides keep their culture close to their heart. For Muslim women who choose to wear a hijab in everyday life, it seems natural to wear one on their big day too.
A hijab is a headscarf worn by Muslim women. It covers the hair, neck and upper chest in accordance with Islamic tradition. Wearing a hijab is not compulsory, which is why it is a choice for women to wear one from puberty onwards.
Those who do choose to wear one do so stylishly. Many work it into their personal style, and your wedding look should be no different. Customise your bridal look by using the detail on your dress to adorn your hijab. From lace to beads and pearls to tulle, anything goes.
Here are some wonderful hijabi brides to inspire you:
