Calling all Couples

OK, so I admit it - after declaring to anyone who would listen that I had no interest in the Royal Wedding and would most definitely not be watching I gave into temptation and switched on. It was only for five minutes but I just had to see the dress. And then I got a bit... well... interested. My boyfriend caught me kneeling in front of the TV with my face practically glued to the screen (I'd turned the sound down so he wouldn't hear what I was up to). The truth is, as I've written here before, everyone's a sucker for a love story.
Now the hysteria around THAT wedding has died down (well, kind of) here at Medavia we're turning our attention to all the other wonderful couples out there.
We're looking for couples to star in magazine and newspaper articles aimed at highlighting diversity, courage, talent and uniqueness in Britain.
Below is a list of the kind of couples we're looking for. If you, or someone you know, is interested, email me with more info to alice@medavia.co.uk.

·         A COUPLE AGAINST ALL THE ODDS – Have you and your partner experienced tragedy, drama, or betrayal which threatened to tear you apart, yet you stayed together against all odds?

·         BRITAIN’S MOST UNLIKELY COUPLE – Is there a remarkable story behind how you met? 

·         COUPLES WITH BRILLIANT AND BIZARRE BODIES – Tall, large, small, thin – are you and your man an extreme couple physically? Perhaps you are polar opposites? Have you both had weight issues? Or are you proud of your body image?

·         BRITAIN’S YOUNGEST PARENTS – How old were you and your partner when you became parents?

·         BRITAIN’S MOST TABOO COUPLE – Do you and your partner break sexual, social and emotional boundaries in your relationship?

Waiting for the wedding night

I'm always dreaming up new ideas for interesting stories and earlier this week, on a whim, I started looking for women who've waited until the wedding night to sleep with their partner.
For our grandparents' generation, there would have been nothing unusual about waiting but in this day and age it's almost unheard of and I thought it'd make a good feature.
It's not something I could do, although I know a few people who have (they tend to be the ones who get married young I find!). Usually it's for religious reasons but I was hoping to find a woman who'd chosen to wait for a different reason - maybe they were both virgins, or wanted to keep it special for "the one". Whatever the reason, it's certainly an interesting issue and something that, in today's culture, seems quite romantic and old-fashioned.
Someone else must have been having the same thought because the very next day a request from a glossy magazine popped into my inbox - looking for a woman who hadn't slept with her partner before the wedding night. Maybe they'd picked up on my thought waves...
