Ashton on, dating 

 

The biggest mistake people make on dates is that they try to be someone that they’re not and they try to sort of over perform and then they start to set expectations for relationships which they can’t keep up with over time, so I would say the best thing you can probably do is sort of be yourself and have enough self-humility to drive whatever car you have and go to whatever restaurant you can afford to go to and then just sort of depend on you, because you’re probably good enough.

Ashton on, Food  

 

You know what’s surprising about the best food, is that it’s surprising where you find the best what; like the best Dim Sum I’ve ever had is in London, which is like weird right? I’ve been to Bejing – you’d think oh boy, they’re gonna have great Dim Sum? The best Dim Sum is in London; that’s like a weird thing. I love Italian food so Italy kind of has my heart there, I would say like the best overall cuisine, French in France has the best overall cuisine. The greatest variety of good food; I would say is in the United States of America.

 

Ashton on, the UK

 

Well you know I’ll tell you my favourite British food is fish and chips done well, and if it’s done well its exceptional and I’ve seen like a lot of variations on fish and chips that I think are interesting, but bad fish and chips…break up. It can be nasty.

 

Ashton Kutcher has been unveiled as the new Wrigley’s Extra brand ambassador. The new ad featuring Ashton will air from January 1st 2015 in the UK as well as 40 countries around the world. Are you a fan?

Sneaky Wedding Costs You Need to Look Out For By Melissa Davis

Wedding First DanceAlthough your wedding day is supposed to be one of the best of your life, the large cost can often mar this otherwise happy occasion. In the early stages of planning a wedding, the smaller details often get forgotten and the cost can sneaks up on you, making the overall price of the wedding unexpected and often damaging. However, there are ways and means of reducing the overall cost of your wedding and making your special day affordable. Considering the hidden wedding costs you may incur is a positive start in ensuring your wedding remains within your personal budget.

Making a list and using online resources to research the smaller aspects, which you may not have initially considered, will show you where your money can go and how much of it can go there. This will allow you to then find cheaper alternatives to lighten the financial load further. For example, although brides often think of their wedding dress, they rarely remember that alterations often have to be made. Similarly, bridesmaids’ dress and the groom’s tuxedo may need amendments right before the big day. These minor adjustments may seem small, but will set you back money and add up to a considerable amount when added to the multitude of other wedding costs. To prevent costs such as these from sneaking up on you, simply research, estimate the price and factor this into your budget.

 

Keeping track of all the different costs involved in organising a wedding can be tricky, particularly when there are so many hidden expenses that can sneak up on you when you least expect it.

Creating a budget that includes all of the most commonly forgotten wedding costs can help you to avoid last minute problems and make big savings.

Start with a wedding budget

A thorough, realistic budget is the best tool for preventing forgotten, unexpected and unnecessary costs from sneaking up on you during your wedding planning.

Work out how much you can afford to spend in total, make a list of everything you need to sort then decide how you’ll divide your wedding budget.

Try to make your list as detailed as possible, and ensure that you set aside enough for each item. Recently married friends, wedding magazines and websites are all good sources of advice.

Suddenly realising that you forgot to budget separately for the bride’s shoes, veil or accessories after you’ve spent your money on an expensive dress is exactly the sort of stress you want to avoid as your big day approaches.

You should also look at prices or ask for quotes early on to ensure that the money you set aside for each cost is realistic.

Wedding costs everyone forgets

However carefully you plan your budget, there always seems to be something extra that needs to be organised and paid for before the big day arrives.

Here are some of the most frequently forgotten costs – make sure you remember to include them:

  1. Registration costs to make your marriage official.
  2. Stationary and postage costs for sending save the date cards, invitations and thank you cards.
  3. Accessories and alterations to suits and dresses for the wedding party.
  4. Including the bride and groom in the head count for the reception.
  5. Favours, thank you gifts and tips.
  6. Extra charges on your bill from venues and suppliers, including delivery fees, corkage, VAT, overtime and service or cleaning charges.
  7. Printing and framing photos, and buying wedding albums.

Deciding what to spend

Once you have a list of everything you need to pay for, you can start deciding how much you want to spend on each item. The way you do this should depend on your overall budget.

If money truly is no object, you can simply start arranging.

If, like most people, you have a set amount of money to spend on your wedding, perhaps from your savings or a parental contribution, you should start from this upper limit and divide it into portions for each of your expenses.

You can easily create a spreadsheet, or adapt a general expenses template, to monitor your spending. Keep track of any overspends, which you should try to make up for by spending less on other items, or underspends, which will give you more to spend elsewhere.

If you’re trying to keep costs to a minimum then prioritise your list into must-haves and maybes so that you can make sure you can afford the aspects that are most important to you before paying out for things that are ‘nice to have’ but not essential.

Avoiding unnecessary wedding extras

If you are working with a limited budget, it’s possible to make some cuts to the normal list of wedding necessities.

For example, if you can choose a venue where you can hold both the service and the reception, you might be able to get a better deal, and you can also cut down on transport costs.

Weddings held out of peak season or on any day other than a Saturday will usually be cheaper because there’s lower demand so this is worth investigating.

It can also be a good idea to look closer to home for your venues, since you can avoid high travel costs or needing to pay for overnight accommodation.

You might also be able to cut down costs by limiting the number of guests you invite – either in total or just to the wedding breakfast. Having a buffet and/or a pay-for-your-own-drinks bar can also help.

You can always give people the chance to celebrate with you at a distance with a live online broadcast of the event, no matter where the wedding takes place.

Another good way to cut down on your costs is to consider doing more of the work yourself or asking friends or family to gift their time as a wedding present.

Why pay for ready-made wedding favours when you can put together something more personal at half the cost? Why spend your wedding day in an anonymous hotel when you have a huge garden where you could put up a marquee and celebrate in a place that means something to you?

Minimising unexpected costs

To give yourself a little leeway make sure you set aside an amount to cover unexpected costs, ideally about 10% of your total budget.

If one of your suppliers lets you down, an unexpected guest turns up, something is broken or turns out to be unsuitable, or the weather forces you to change your plans, you need to have some emergency funds available to deal with it. Another option is to take out wedding insurance to cover some of your major expenses.

It might not be possible to avoid all unexpected costs, but at least you can be prepared for them, and if it turns out that you never need to use this money, it can give you something extra to spend on your honeymoon.

The wedding price hike

Another particularly sneaky cost that you might not expect when you set out your wedding budget is the sudden bump in prices that can occur as soon as you mention that you’re ordering for a wedding.

It doesn’t matter if you are ordering flowers, a cake, or transport, as soon as suppliers find out it’s for a wedding, they often assume you can easily be coerced into spending more to make your day perfect.

One of the best ways to avoid this sneaky extra cost is to tell some little white lies and order things for a “party” rather than a wedding.

It might not work if you want a traditional tiered wedding cake, but if you are looking for something less conventional, or ordering something non wedding specific, it could help you to get some lower prices.

The couple got engaged in February after a year of dating. Barrymore wed the art consultant in a garden ceremony in Montecito in California yesterday.

E! Online reports that 200 guests attended the nuptials, including Cameron Diaz, comedian Jimmy Fallon, and Reese Witherspoon.

The 37-year-old is rumoured to be pregnant with her first child. A source told Life & Style: “Drew didn’t know she was pregnant when Will proposed,” whilst another told Star magazine: “Drew is over the moon about the baby, but she wants a husband too.”

Frost Magazine wish the happy couple a long and happy life.

Daniel Craig is very 'happy' following marriage

Daniel Craig is “very happy” after getting married.

The actor’s friend Jason Isaacs believes the 43-year-old star – who tied the knot with actress Rachel Weisz in a surprise low-key ceremony last month – is the perfect choice to play James Bond because he “exudes sex”, though his personal life is now much tamer than that of the iconic British spy.

Asked if he would like to be James Bond, Jason said: “No, Dan is Bond – Daniel is one of the sexiest men!

“The thing about Dan is women all obviously want to sleep with him and men all think he’s having more relationships with women than they are – and they’re right! But not anymore, thank God, because he’s married and very happy but he just exudes sex. He’s the perfect Bond.”

Jason portrays Death Eater Lucius Malfoy in the ‘Harry Potter’ movie franchise and admits he is “heartbroken” to see the series come to an end with the release of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2’.

Speaking on UK TV show ‘Daybreak’, he said: “I haven’t had enough, I would do it forever. I’m completely heartbroken by it being over, I can’t pretend.

“The good thing is they kept the quality of them … but this is one story essentially that we managed to tell over a decade, and there’s not a weak bit in it which is fantastic.”

Cheryl Cole's ex-husband Ashley is planning to propose.

Cheryl Cole’s ex-husband Ashley is planning to propose to her for a second time.

The 28-year-old singer and the soccer ace – who divorced in 2010 amid claims he had cheated on her with five women – wants to re-marry his ex-wife and is now looking for the “biggest” diamond he can find to get down on one knee, so the pair can start a family.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “He is convinced Cheryl will agree to marry him and wants the biggest diamond he can get.

“She’s desperate to start a family but he knows she’ll want to do it as a married woman.”

Cheryl – who has had a makeover with newly blonde hair following her sacking from the US version of ‘X Factor’ – spent the afternoon with Ashley’s mother Sue at her home in Chigwell, Essex, yesterday and she is “glad” to have her former daughter-in-law back in her life.

A source said: “Sue is incredibly fond of Cheryl and is forever singing her praises. She says she is so glad to have her daughter-in-law back.

“She realises how insanely happy Cheryl makes Ashley and believes they are a good team. Sue saw the positive impact which Cheryl had on Ashley. She loves her son and wants the best for him – as far as she is concerned Cheryl was nothing but a positive influence”

However, Cheryl’s mother Joan is not so keen on the reunion, and was upset seeing them together at the Girls Aloud star’s 28th birthday party on Friday night .

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Joan has Cheryl’s best interests at heart. She is the person who is most open and honest with her and was there to pick up the pieces when they split.”

She reportedly said at Cheryl’s party: “I don’t want her to have him back. I’ll never forgive him for what he did to her.”

Meanwhile, Ashley has confirmed he is opening a restaurant and club in central London with hip-hop mogul Jay-Z.

He said: “I’m delighted to be working with Jay-Z. I have grown up listening to his music so to be doing business with him is amazing.”

Jay-Z added: “It’ll be the hottest place in town.”
