I don’t think, to prove your love you have to go 500ft. below ground. I’m not talking about my courtship but the marriage of this couple, who went 500ft. down to get married in a cave deep within the Llechwedd mine in North Wales.

Kerry Bevan (bride) and Wayne Davies (groom) wanted to do something unusual for their big day - therefore, they spent £560 (around $1,126) to hire this mine as their wedding chamber. Kerry was in her traditional white bridal gown (costing $1,407 approximately) and Wayne was in his smart morning suit but they had to put on hard hats and wellington boots.

The journey upto the aisle started with eight-hundred metre ride through tunnels and caverns on the old battery-electric locomotive Miners Tramway. Wedding included only fifteen guests in the middle of them their two sons were also present.

Few days back people were talking about making diamonds from the ashes of the dead. Celeste Egan got such diamond, made from her father’s ashes, as a gift from her mother on her big day. Celeste had always dreamt of the day when her father would walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. Unfortunately, her father, Mick Egan, died eight months before her marriage due to a brain hemorrhage.

Celeste said, ‘It seemed like the right thing to do for us as a family and for my dad. We think he’d have loved the idea.”

What are you thinking; even you can order a diamond from your loved ones ashes to make them immortal. Mrs. Egan got this diamond made from LifeGem in Hove, East Sussex, who sent the ashes to US to convert into diamond. The process cost £3,550 for a blue 0.32 carat diamond (shown inside corner of the picture).

The exorbitant price that a would-be-bride pays of a wedding gown is disproportionate to the number of times it is actually worn. Most of the times, the gown is worn only on the wedding eve where after it lives the rest of its life dumped in a closet.

Tuija Jarvenpaa, a Finnish designer has devised a solution to the problem by designing a Disposable Wedding Gown. The designer is famous for creating disposable products.

The disposable wedding gown is crafted from shiny translucent white paper and can be embellished with various prints, ornamental cut-in patterns and folds. The gown is designed single-time use only, and is thus perfect for events like weddings. After being worn once, the gown van be recycled or thrown away.

The concept of disposable wedding gown was first introduced in 2005 in a group wedding in which all brides wore disposable gowns.

Walt Disney Co. is introducing a new line of character-inspired bridal gowns targeted at women who want to look and feel like Cinderella on their wedding day.

The 34 princess styled gowns designed by designer Kirstie Kelly are inspired by famous princesses from Disney films like ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’. The gowns are the latest effort by Disney to make it to the business of higher-end nuptials.

Disney had clearly instructed Kelly to base the designs on those characters which are the most famous with brides who grew up with Disney. This is the latest addition to the Disney Princess line of products for girls, which had a cool $3.4 billion sale worldwide the last year.

Kelly’s gowns debuted on a New York catwalk on Sunday. The price of the gowns ranges from $1,500 to $3,000, which is below couture prices but above the average wedding dress price of $1,000. The range according to Disney officials is targeted at a generation of couples who are getting married older and paying for their own celebrations and can thus afford the prices very comfortably.

If the range becomes a hit, the wedding gown line could soon expand to include other Disney Princess-branded items and home furnishings for adults.
