How to avoid the 10 most common wedding planning bust-ups
With potentially nearly 200,000 couples planning wedding this year, that's a whole lot of hormones, stress and tension flying about - after all, planning a wedding can be one of the hardest (but also greatest) life experiences to go through. To capture what causes the strops, tantrums, tears and everything else in-between when planning a wedding, jewellers Queensmith surveyed 1,000 married women about the build-up to their special day - here at County Wedding Magazines HQ we can certainly relate to a few!
Their research revealed almost half of couples (42 per cent) row when planning their wedding, with one subject in particular causing a lot of friction between bride and groom-to-be. Nearly one in five (17 per cent) couples were found to disagree over how many guests to invite; where to seat them is another heated debate.

While you may have to compromise on some elements of the day there’s no doubt it is an occasion which you’ll remember and cherish for the rest of your life.”
