Begin newlywed life in the romantic city of Rome, explore the hidden piazas, opulent baroque churches and classical ruins. Discover the finest Italian fashion and lose yourselves in the many art galleries, gardens and palaces that Rome has to offer.

Then relax with your loved one and enjoy the luxury lifestyle on board Celebrity Reflection. Sip on cocktails in a private alcove at the Lawn Club, the glorious grassy top deck on the ship. Or perhaps visit the spa for a massage and unwind in the Persian Garden whilst watching the world go by.

Want smoother, plumper and younger looking skin for your wedding? Read my recent trial of BeautyColl....

Brides are under so much pressure to look 'perfect' on their wedding days, and it's hard after the months of planning, sleepless nights hoping everything will go smoothly on the day, and then the extra stress of looking perfect can take it's toll.

I recently trialled a product, the Beautycoll 12,000mg Collagen Drink which can be found at www.facethefuture.co.uk/shop,  in the hope that it would give me that 'glowing' look and make my skin look nicer, instead of being dull and tired looking.

This drink increases collagen levels, which in turn makes your skin look smoother, and firmer.
