Couple: Kevin and Victoria Culverhouse
Wedding date: 18th December, 2010
Ceremony venue: All Saints Church
Reception venue: Farnham Castle, Farnham

What's the best thing about married life
Victoria says: "By being married we know we always have each other no matter what. We will always have a best friend to confide in and someone who is always on our side. We have an eternity to share our love and laughter together, adding to our seven years of amazing memories."

How did you celebrate your first anniversary?
Victoria says: "We shared a romantic festive afternoon tea with mulled wine and mince pies. Followed by a walk through London to see the Christmas lights and decorations, it really reminded us of our magical Christmas wedding."

How do you feel about making it to the grand final?
Victoria says: "We wanted a Christmas wedding and a fairytale day. We are so touched to think so many people voted for us, and that it is not only us who thought our winter wonderland wedding was so spectacular."

Why do you think you should win the competition?
Victoria says: "We had the worst weather in almost 30 years. We walked in wellies, shovelled snow from paths, and strangers helped ferry items to the castle. Everyone pulled out all the stops to make our wedding the best day of our lives."

Wedding date: 12th March, 2011
Venue: Burford Bridge Hotel, Dorking

What's the best thing about married life?
Annie says: "Everything! We feel more attached to each other and it has brought something new to our relationship. Also being called 'Mr and Mrs Edmonds' feels really special."

How will you be celebrating your first anniversary?
Annie says: "We had lots of ideas, but I have left it all to Colin to arrange so it's a surprise. I know he will do something lovely and it will be very special no matter what it is. We can't believe it has come around so quickly, time flies when you're having fun."

How do you feel about making it to the grand final?
Annie says: "We were chuffed to even be in the magazine, so the final is a real honour. Our family and friends have been a great support and are so pleased for us and desperate for us to win."

Why do you think you should win the competition?
Annie says: "We worked so hard to plan our wedding, through the laughs and stresses. It means so much to us and would be a lovely reminder of our hard work if we won. The prize looks amazing, it was on our list of wedding venues but totally out of our budget."

What's the best thing about married life?

How will you be celebrating your first anniversary?
Emma says: "We would love to go back to St Nicholas Church, and have planned a picnic in the beautiful grounds of Hampton Court Palace, where some of our favourite wedding pictures where taken."

How do you feel about making it to the grand final?
Emma says: "We were over the moon and want to say thank you to everyone who voted. Our wedding was truly perfect to us and having the opportunity to share it with others has been absolutely wonderful."

Why do you think you should win the competition?
Emma says: "We are just a normal couple, with a normal life and things like this do not happen to people like us. We should win because our marriage is modern enough to survive the times but old fashioned enough to last forever."
