• We all need a knight in shining armour, especially when you’re a bride rushing to make it to her wedding ceremony. 

    Marksteen Adamson is a driver from the United Kingdom. On his way to a reunion, Marksteen said he noticed the bride on the side of the road in London asking for a lift.

    The apparently looked “distressed” as countless cars passed her by. 

    According to the anxious bride, three rideshares had already cancelled on her and her bridal party, which included her sister and one other bridesmaid who could be seen carrying her veil. 

    “I’m late for church,” the bride can be heard saying in the video.

    Despite being a whole 45 minutes late to her own wedding, Adamson delivers the bride and her bridal party safely to the church, where she is met by the vicar to who she recounts the tale to.

    An adorable rom-com or an absolute nightmare? Luckily this story has a happy ending!

    Watch the video below: 

    @marksteenadamsonWas driving through london traffic to visit friends for a reunion lunch in South East London when I stopped at a padestrian crossing and saw a bride looking confused and flustered. I started filming as I thought it would be a great shot seeing her cross the road in her full attire. Then she saw me and started walking towards me and gesturing. It turns out that she and her brides maid and team had been trying to order Uber cabs but three cabs had canceled at the last minute and she was 45min late for church. Everyone, most importantly her husbsnd to be, were wating at Holy Trinity Bromton for her to artive. She asked if I could give her and the group a lift, and so they jumped in to my landrover and I drove her to church. In our short time together we had lots of quick short conversations about everthing and got to know eachother a little better and new friendships were made. After I dropped her off I heard the sound of the organ ring out and knew everything was going to be alright. It was a beautiful sunny day.♬ Going To The Chapel – The Paragons

    Every bride and groom attempts to make their wedding day as dreamy as possible. Unfortunately, going all out by having the biggest cake and wedding venue can sometimes feel as though it’s costing you an arm and a leg.

    If you’re looking to save money but don’t know where to cut costs, here are a few genius ideas:

    One-tiered wedding cakes are the way to go

    When it comes to cake, bigger isn’t always better. More and more couples are ditching the extravagant three-tiered wedding cakes for something simpler. One-tiered desserts can be just as breathing-taking as their bigger counterparts and a smaller display can always be made a bit more eye-catching with a dessert bar.

    Who needs a centrepiece?

    No really… who does? Ditch the massive centrepieces and opt for something more demure… budget-friendly bud holders. Make it extra special by choosing a flower that has a special meaning; perhaps the romantic rose or beautiful tulip? No matter which flowers you choose to display, slim bud holders will make this a lot more affordable.

    Get fruity…

    If bud holders are just too simple for you, go all out by taking the organic approach. Grab lemons, apples, oranges, or your favourite fruit, and sprinkle them with flower petals. Take things up a notch by adding gold fruit!

    Opt for an elegant buffet

    We’ve never heard anyone complain when presented with a delicious and abundant buffet. Opting for a wedding buffet to keep your guests satisfied could help you save money in the long run, including staffing costs.

    Take a chance on photography talent

    It’s no secret that wedding photographers can be quite pricey, especially those that have established themselves. A great way to save on costs is to seek out a photographer that’s talented but trying to make a name for themselves. Who knows? You may have the next Annie Leibovitz photographing your wedding.

    Invest in a wedding website

    This is a cute and paperless way to let guests know they’re invited to your upcoming nuptials! It’s also a great way to save money with a wedding website costing R1000 – depending on who you choose to create your website. Provide guests with all relevant information in one place, including, wedding details, rehearsal details and RSVP options.

    No need for top-shelf liquor 

    While there’s nothing with wanting to serve your guests the best liquor out there, sometimes it helps to cut down on costs by cutting down on brand names. Do your guests really need Johnnie Walker Gold.

    Food has always had a way of lifting spirits and bringing people together, especially one of Italy’s most popular exports – pizza.

    Pizza is such an integral part of one bride’s daily life, that she’s even entered into a quirky little contract with her groom.The newlyweds have gone viral for sharing a few snapshots of their “wedding contract” which includes only “one pizza a month”.

    Now, one pizza a month might sound like an odd inclusion for a wedding contract, but there’s a very good reason for this.

    According to BBC News, the blushing bride is obsessed with consuming the Italian delicacy! Shanti Prasad and Mintu Rai are the newlyweds in question and have decided to tie the knot in their hometown of Guwahati, India.

    The inclusion is also a cute little nod to the couple’s first date as Prasad apparently insisted she wanted pizza.

    The friends were the masterminds behind the contract, setting the terms and conditions which were sprung on the couple on their big day.

    Other conditions in the contract include only shopping twice a month, taking good pictures at every party and going to the gym every day.

    It’s been years in the making, but Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have finally tied the knot.

    Sources close to the couple confirmed the news to People with court records indicating that the pair obtained a marriage license over the weekend in Clark County, Nevada.

    The gorgeous couple shared the news of their engagement in April 2022 and are said to have said “I do” in a small ceremony.

    “They just wanted to get married,” one source reportedly stated.

    The news will undoubtedly overjoy romantics and die-hard Bennifer stans around the world. The Hollywood couple rekindled their iconic romance in 2021 with Lopez sharing her thoughts on why things are different 18 years later.

    The star revealed to People: “We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience, we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things.”

    “We have been in the game in the public eye long enough to know who we are as people and what really matters and what doesn’t matter. We have kids and we respect each other. …”

    AH! Congratulations to the newlyweds.
