Hi everyone, thank you so much for joining me here each week for Wedding Tip Wednesday!
Over the past number of weeks I have been doing lots of media interviews about my Wedding Book! (sooooooo exciting) Before I go on, I just have to say thank you so much to everyone for all of your incredible support. I had no idea my Wedding Book would be so popular!

My late Dad Frank always told us that "nobody would give you anything for free and you have to work hard for everything you have".
So today, I chat about my life, how I arrived to where I am now and all of the hard work I have put in so far.
I always tell people to follow their dreams and work hard, I did and here's my journey so far!
