The Bollywood power couple have been dating since 2007, with the actor and producer speaking publically about his relationship with the actress in 2009, admitting that marriage was definitely on the cards. However it’s taken another two years for the duo to find a window in their busy diaries in which to finally tie the knot.

However they haven’t completely abandoned their film commitments, in fact the groom-to-be revealed that he and his bride won’t walk down the aisle until their latest film is released, Agent Vinod. The movie was produced by Saif and stars Kareena and had been due for release in December, although the date has now been moved to January, with the loved up couple planning to wed just after the premiere.

In an interview this week, the 41-year-old added that although they are planning to marry after the release of Agent Vinod, if the date is pushed back again, they won’t be postponing their wedding until any later than March 2012.

When the pair finally exchange their vows, it will be the first marriage for 31-year-old Kareena, although Saif was previously married to actress Amrita Singh for 13 years with whom he shares two daughters, however the marriage ended in divorce in 2004.

According to David’s Bridal, some 57,000 brides and grooms will make their way down the aisle this Friday, hoping to make the most of this memorable date which many believe is very good luck.

In Gretna Green the couples are also queuing up to marry on this special day, with more than 50 weddings planned for Friday November 11^th which is more than five times the number of weddings the small town on the Scottish boarders usually conducts on a typical Friday in November.

In India the number of weddings scheduled for the 11-11-11 is believed to be higher than any other country as the date is regarded as auspicious by Asian couples. For other engaged couples, the decision to wed on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in the eleventh year is purely practical as some brides believe their husbands won’t have any excuse for forgetting such a memorable date when their anniversary comes around each year.

For particularly pedantic brides and grooms, getting married on the 11-11-11 isn’t special enough, with some even arranging for their wedding to take place at 11:11am so they can squeeze yet another 11 figure into their big day.

The number 11 is believed to signify rebirth and a new beginning, meaning the 11-11-11 lends itself perfectly to being a very lucky day on which to start married life.

Indian weddings are traditionally, a large affair with upwards of 500 guests, sometimes even a 1,000 wedding guests attending. For this reason, couples often make the decision to lay on transportation for their guests to ensure everyone enjoys the day without having to worry about how they are going to travel between the ceremony and reception venue.

Coach Broker boasts a large selection of coaches and minibuses of all sizes and styles so regardless of whether you need to transport 10 or 100 passengers, they will be able to provide you with the exact vehicle to suit your requirements.

If you want to transport your wedding guests in style and comfort on your big day, Coach Broker offer a range of executive coaches which are fully equipped with an onboard W.C, reclining seats, air conditioning, plasma screens with DVD facilities, and even a kitchenette area where refreshments such as tea and coffee can be obtained.

Whether you’re getting married in a Muslim, Sikh, Hindu or Punjabi wedding ceremony, Coach Broker have a great deal of experience in providing coach hire for marriages of all faiths, and are able to tailor their service to accommodate the unique needs of your wedding. Often Asian wedding ceremonies take a lot longer than a registry office or Christian wedding service for example, and so Coach Broker are able to offer a service which takes into consideration the different requirements of each individual wedding.

Wedding News links up with up-and-coming Asian bridal magazine

The UK’s first free online Asian wedding magazine, Mantra Weddings has linked up with Weddings News. As one of the UK’s most popular sources for wedding related news, Wedding-News.co.uk is a great partner for the newly launched online Asian wedding magazine, Mantra Weddings.

Mantra weddings is an exciting new project which is gaining plenty of attention within the Asian wedding industry. Offering a full Asian wedding directory, plus advice on fashion, budgeting for weddings, and the best venues in the UK who offer a specialised service for Asian couples, http://www.mantraweddings.com is essential reading for any Indian bride or groom.

The new venture offers a great opportunity for growth within both websites. Wedding News is an established site with a strong readership base providing a great partner for Mantra Weddings early on in its existence. Also Weddings news now has the opportunity to build on the existing service it offers to Asian brides and grooms. There is currently a section dedicated to Asian and Indian weddings and Wedding News hopes this is something it can develop further through its recent link with Mantra Weddings.

Gagan Arora the Managing Director of Mantra Weddings says he is very optimistic about the new allegiance between the two websites: “Getting onboard with a website such as Wedding News can only be a good thing for Mantra Weddings. The Asian wedding industry is not well catered for on the web at present in comparison to the number of non-Asian wedding sites which are available. We hope to rectify this with the introduction of our informative, up-to-the-minute wedding site which is dedicated to Indian and Asian weddings.”

The new venture will further strengthen Wedding News position as one of the UK’s most popular online resources for wedding related stories and advice. The joining of forces with Mantra Weddings will enable Wedding News to better serve Asian couples while still maintaining a very high standard of output for non-Indian brides and grooms.
