We recently joined Brisbane couples at a very elegant evening hosted by Wedding List Co. to
celebrate the gift of giving. Held at the gorgeous Coco Republic showroom we sipped Champagne while putting together a wish list of items such as KitchenAid Stand Mixers, Missoni Bathroom Essentials, Coco Republic furniture and other lovelies from leading luxury brands. Loved the tips and advice from Wedding List Co. Gift Expert Karaline Loiterton, and their super stylish and easy online service is a must-look for brides, grooms and guests. www.weddinglistco.com.au

Modern brides aren’t so keen about taking on the traditional ‘Mrs’ role according to new research. Only 60% of Australian women surveyed by OnePath in late 2010 believe they should take their husband’s name with 20% considering that a husband should take their wife’s name. The survey also found that 68% of Australians have a pet name for their partner or spouse, ranging from the usual suspects like Honey, Babe and Petal to Chunks, Hot Rod, Turtle and Moose Face.
