Three friends vow at another friend's wedding that they are going to find husbands within the next year. Women like Trista, Amaya, and Vivian don't come around a lot, so any man would be lucky to have them. Trista, the Hollywood agent, who is accomplishing everything she set out to do. Amaya, emerging actress who wants just one man, problem: he's married. And Vivian, she has been pining over her baby daddy since the moment she met him, if only she could get him to return the feelings instead of just meeting up for "ex-sex". Will the women be able to accomplish The Vow, or are they meant for other things.

Adam Sandler at his best
Over the years each time an adam sandler film has come out it has always been dreadful and somehow worse than the last one but the wedding singer reminds us of when his films were actually half decent and sandler was funny.

A very basic storyline that was executed perfectly with characters you could care for and jokes that made you laugh.The standout part for me everytime I revisit this film is when he sings the song he wrote,half of when he was with his fiancee and the other half after she dumped him and you have Jon lovitz smirking in delight at Sandler's misfortune..classic stuff!.

Cheesy to the very end but immensely successful and spawning a sequel, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again this very summer. 2008’s Mamma Mia was one of the most profitable musicals of all time with an all-star cast including Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. With the entire wedding-themed movie set on an idyllic Greek island, it was inevitable that the ceremony itself would be absolutely stunning. It was, with a church perched high on a hill and a lovely reception in which Amanda Seyfriend’s Sophie could relish in the love of her friends, mum and (spoiler alert), her three dads.

THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT!!!

All baking recipes are themed on Game of Thrones with an artistic or puntastic edge to them.

From Hot Pie’s Wolfbread (a basic wholemeal bread, shaped into a wolf like he did on the show) and Sansa’s Lemon Cakes to a Red (velvet) Wedding Cake (3 tier cake with ‘blood’ pouring down the side) and the one I really REALLY wanna try myself Oberyn’s Smashing Surprise (long story short a decorated chocolate shell filled with red jelly so you can re-enact the scene and squish it open with your fingers, just like The Mountain did to Oberyn’s skull, mwahahahahaaa).

Oh yes, I shall be making a few of these recipes.
