5. I do...Achoo! All of the stress leading up to your big day can leave you open to coughs and colds. Don't leave yourself open to puffy eyes and a red nose on your most special day. Instead see our section on Nutritional Potions and Replenishment Charms (Page Four) so that you can feel your best.
4. What a mess! We know you won't want to be performing cleaning spells on the day of your wedding, so make sure that someone is around with a talent for household charms!
3. Any objections? Not everyone at your wedding may be desirable. Perhaps your husband-to-be has rowdy relatives, or one of your spinster friends has her eyes on the Groom. In that case you need our Tongue Binding spell. Also useful during Best Man speeches!
2. Forget me not Anyone can suffer from cold feet, but if you'd rather forget your doubts, have your bridesmaids cast a simple and legal bewilderment charm.
1. The Blushing Bride When the morning arrives you don't want to be applying blusher. If you're nervous you'll put on too much. Instead, use our Pinch Spell - it's easy to perform, and barely any pain. You will be glowing as you walk down the aisle!
You may have been dating your wizard 5 weeks or 5 years, but if he hasn't popped the question yet there's one thing you'll be wondering: what is his marriage style? We all dream of the courteous, thoughtful (and tall, dark handsome!) man of our dreams, but what will he really be like when the wedding bells have stopped ringing?
Witch Weekly Psychic Doris Fairweather says, "after a man gets married he can really change. He has more responsibility and is probably thinking about children. It's really important to know in advance if you want to live with this man. If he's going to spend all of his wages on firewhisky, you'd be better knowing now!"
Doris has given us instructions for a way to find out all about his marriage style.
First, offer him a cup of tea. Make sure that you make this in a teapot with leaves, don't use the bags! (WW says: Don't split teabags if you're out of leaves, WW has tried this and it's disgusting)
Wait until he's drunk almost all of the tea, and remove the cup. It's important that you do this, as he may try to re-fill it. If he drinks from the cup again, the psychic energies may be disturbed.
As soon as possible, look into the cup. You are looking for recognisable shapes and patterns to tell you what his future style will be.
For best results, try to discuss weddings whilst he drinks this will direct his subconscious energies towards the subject.
Circles
A wizard with lots of circles in his cup will be generous and loving. He will treat you like a princess. Though beware, he may fall foul to outside influences with his good nature! Squares
A wizard with squares is likely to take great care over his purse-strings. He will not want to spend unnecessary money on gifts. Even if he lavishes you with presents now, he may think this is no longer needed once you tie the knot!
Triangles
Triangles in a cup indicates a man who loves children. Though he may threaten them with Unforgiveables now, once you're married he will be longing for the patter of tiny footsteps. If you want children this is ideal for you, but be careful that he doesn't just see you as mother once you're married!
Crosses
A cup with lots of crosses is the cup of a troubled man. Your marriage will be full of emotional and financial doubt. A wizard with this cup is to be avoided!
Your wedding questions answered
I want real flowers at my wedding, but one of my bridesmaids is very allergic. Is there anything I can do? Delilah, Liverpool
WW: Yes, Delilah! Simply charm your flowers to vanish the pollen. You may want to also banish the smell, as this can cause reactions in some people. Remember that this will shorten the time that your flowers will remain fresh.
Since I was a little girl I've dreamed of having butterflies fluttering over me whilst I get married, but my husband thinks it would be cruel to use real butterflies. Hannah, Wessex
WW: Instead of real butterflies, why not transfigure small colourful pieces of paper? They can be disposed of afterwards and won't harm anything.
I want a magical wedding, but half of my family are muggles. What can I do? Lara, London
WW: See our special article on this exact question, page ten!
