Your 20s can be a confusing financial time when you feel caught somewhere between trying to save for the future and enjoying being young. It’s a time when many are getting their first “real” job, while simultaneously calculating how many weeks they can survive on ramen alone in order to treat themselves to what they want to buy. It’s also a time when you might consider investing in your first luxury fashion item.

For some of us, our first experience with luxury goods comes from gifts and special occasions. As we start to make our own money, saving up to purchase a high-end item on your own dime becomes more rewarding.

Whether you’re a die-hard gym fanatic or less than inclined to break a sweat, the moment you become engaged is likely a time in which you decide to kick your fitness routine into high gear. You want to look extraordinary in that wedding gown after all, right? Before you go booking every workout available on ClassPass, the first step toward your pre-wedding fitness goals is ensuring you have a robust assortment of active to get you through those upcoming sweat sessions.

Before you start working on your fitness, decide what pieces you need for your favorite workouts. If your workout attire consists only of ratty T-shirts and sweats, we highly suggest a total overhaul. For yoga, Pilates, or barre class, stock up on bras, tops, and bottoms suited to light impact activity. Love to weightlift or spin? Fitted leggings and tops with moisture wicking properties will guarantee a top-rated performance. Into high impact workouts like running or boxing? Go for breathable pieces with technical fibers when you’re breaking a major sweat. For outdoor activities, make sure you own extra layers like a long-sleeves or water-resistant fabrics if inclement weather strikes.

Meghan Markle’s wedding dress is once again being linked to Victoria Beckham after she was spotted wearing a cream jumper designed by the Spice Girls members.

Western styling is one of the trends that teeter on the edge of fancy dress. Take the outfit I am wearing here. In my head it was going to be Sissy Spacek in Badlands, but I fear I may have ended up as Woody from Toy Story.

I’m not giving up on it, though. There is something about the western aesthetic that is very appealing. It makes a very utilitarian way of dressing romantic. A shirt with pointed collars and press-stud front pockets; dark denim layered over rib polo necks; high-waisted jeans with chunky heeled boots: these are clothes you could wear to take the car for an MOT while feeling a little like you were on a different kind of road trip.

We talk so much about asking for and receiving gifts throughout your engagement, but getting married comes with just as many opportunities to give gifts to others, too. From “Be my bridesmaid?” presents for your BFFs to the perfect wedding day gift for your parents and your new spouse, knowing how to give a gift is just as important as knowing how to receive one.

So few people are naturally completely selfless gift-givers—it’s human nature to seek the acknowledgment and appreciation that comes with doing something for someone else. But that doesn’t mean it’s a selfish act! You can absolutely get that warm and fuzzy feeling for yourself while still doing something really kind for a person you care about. In a time of life when a lot of things are about you (you’re half of the happy couple, after all!), these tips will help you find the perfect gift for that special someone else—your recipients will thank you!

Not many people have an awards ceremony during their wedding.

Then again, not many people have a wedding as glamorous as Sabihah Mamdani and Zain Ali Janmohamed’s.

What’s the biggest cake you’ve ever made?

“I think it was like six tiers. All of our cakes are four layers of cake, but it could be three tiers, it could be four tiers, it could be five tiers. We’re talking about a cake that may weigh 80 to 100 pounds. You have cake, you have filling, you have the buttercream — and we actually use real butter, which weighs a lot. There’s a huge taste difference because we are using real butter. When you go try things and there’s a funky film in your mouth after you’ve had whatever it is, that’s the shortening because it didn’t melt; whereas butter, it melts as you’re eating it. That’s why I always have a lot of older customers that are like, ‘Oh, this tastes just like what my mother or my grandmother (used to make).’ Yeah, because during their era they were using real butter all the time.”

Nearly two years ago, when his then 26-year-old daughter told him about her plans to marry her Muslim friend, a Ghaziabad-based businessman was against the match. “Considering the present environment in the country, my concern was about the children’s safety. The same concerns were shared by his family members,” he said.

On Friday afternoon, the marriage took place under the Special Marriage Act in Ghaziabad — with the consent of both the families.
