Relationships Talk

Four months after legally (and secretly) tying the knot in a Manhattan courthouse, it sounds like Justin Bieber, 24, and Hailey Baldwin, 22, are finally having their big Christian wedding ceremony. While Baldwin and Bieber “realized that they actually felt like husband and wife without having a religious ceremony,” a source told People after the couple’s September marriage (which did not involve a prenup), insiders told “Page Six” that the young lovebirds are still going through with the big celebration — and soon. Below, here’s everything we know about the upcoming wedding ceremony.

Where and when is the ceremony?

Per a “Save the Date” that the couple reportedly sent out to friends and family, the ceremony will be somewhere in Los Angeles on February 28, “Page Six” reports. However, a conflicting TMZ report claims the wedding will take place over the weekend of March 1 — which just so happens to be Bieber’s 25th birthday. Regardless of the date, it doesn’t sound like the couple will push back their ceremony any longer. A source told TMZ that Bieber aspires to be married before turning the ripe age of 25, so he and Baldwin can’t afford to drag their feet on their ceremony any longer.

As for the location, Baldwin told the Cut last September that she was drawn to more natural settings — preferably on the West Coast. “I just picture lights strung everywhere,” she said. “I think having it in the woods would be so beautiful.”

What can we expect?

A big Christian wedding, where guests can simultaneously partake in the married couple’s favorite pastimes: praying and partying. There will apparently be dancers (who are already rehearsing!) and Bieber’s personal DJ, Tay James, will be behind the music. And while we know nothing about the dress, Baldwin told the Cut that she already had a designer picked out — time to start speculating!

Who’s on the guest list?

Per TMZ, one major celebrity couple has already received their Save the Date (which is apparently the third invite the couple has sent out): Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott. It remains unclear which Baldwin family members will be going — certainly Alaia and Ireland Baldwin, both of whom will be bridesmaids. And though plans may have changed, Baldwin told the Cut last September that the couple was thinking of having Bieber’s little sister Jazmyn be the flower girl, as long as the 10-year-old isn’t “too old” to have that role.

In an etalk interview, Baldwin’s uncle, Billy, revealed who else we can expect to see at the wedding — mainly, the KarJenners. “Who’s going to be tearing up the dance floor?” he said. “It’s going to be Hailey and all of her Kardashian girlfriends. Gigi [Hadid] and Kendall [Jenner] and all the rest.”

Fingers crossed that Alec Baldwin is also in attendance, to give his niece some of his signature marriage advice (and manage not to punch anyone).

Blue Bloods fans are very excited to see Jamie Reagan (Will Estes) and Eddie Janko (Vanessa Ray) finally get married. But when can they expect for them to exchange vows? Here is everything we know about whether the two will get married in Season 9.

Tom Selleck said he doesn’t know if the wedding will take place in Season 9

There is a chance that we won’t see the two police officers get married until next season. When Tom Selleck was asked about the wedding he wasn’t able to give a clear timeline for the episode.

“I don’t know whether we’ll do a big wedding or whether they’ll get married this season,” Selleck told TV Insider “but I can guarantee Frank will get emotional. He’s delighted for Jamie.” So it looks like the cast doesn’t have a date for the episode yet. There is also another show insider who gave a hint of the show’s timeline.

Kevin Wade, the show’s executive producer, also told TV Insider that they don’t plan to rush to the wedding day. Instead, the beginning of Season 9 will be about them adjusting to no longer being partners at their job.

“We’re not rushing to marry them,” he said. “We’ll come back and start to tell stories of how they go about their jobs or as separated out on the job.”

Season 9 has definitely been exploring this. There have been times when Eddie had to side with her partner and be against Jamie’s decision as a sergeant. She has also tried to remind Jamie that using his father for advice could be to his benefit when he has been stubborn. But the couple has been planning their wedding day as well.

Although the characters might not get hitched in Season 9, they have been talking about it. Eddie brought it up at family dinner asking if there were any family traditions they should keep in mind. Erin (Bridget Moynahan) answered that church is one so it looked like they could have a church wedding but that later changed.

Jamie Reagan revealed in the episode, “Milestone” that he wants a smaller wedding. This first made Eddie really upset. But later in the episode, Jamie found a nice restaurant that could be a venue as a compromise.

Vanessa Ray has also talked about going through wedding dress fittings for the upcoming episode. So things are in motion behind the scenes of the show to put the wedding episode together. There are many benchmarks that could possibly be the wedding episode.

The 200th episode of Blue Bloods would be Season 10’s premiere if the show gets another season. So it could take place then. But since plans are in motion when it comes to costumes it could also take place in Season 9’s finale. Fans will have to wait and see.

Planning a wedding isn’t cheap, but more and more often we’re seeing couples ditch traditional ideas in favour of something more creative – and less spendy.

If you’re engaged and worried about how you’re going to manage the ever-growing cost of a wedding you’re not alone – according to a report by Money.co.uk, by 2028, the average nuptials could set couples back £32,064. But there are ideas you can try that’ll make a big difference to your budget.

Megan Fife from Ashleigh Money Saver shared her tips with Cosmopolitan UK for keeping wedding costs low without completely losing sight of your dream wedding:

Get your DIY on

“Homemade invites are super cute, and cost-cutting too,” Megan says. “Use alphabet stamps or watercolour paints to make your invitations look more luxe and less ‘4 year old in art class’.

“You could even craft your own name place cards for the reception. If you’re stuck for inspiration, head to YouTube or Pinterest for loads of gorgeous ideas.”

This one probably works best for those who enjoy getting creative in their spare time; there’s no point dedicating hours of your life to making invites or decorations if you’re not going to enjoy it. But it could also be worth asking family and friends if they want to help – particularly if you can offer them money or a favour in return.

Shop savvy

Here’s a clever tip from Megan: “Don’t wait to buy your bridesmaid dresses nearer to the big day, take advantage of the end-of-season sales and pick up your besties’ gowns when they’re reduced.”

Now is a great time to shop as the sales are reaching an end, which means extra discounts; try Net-a-Porter or ASOS for bargains.

Ditch the cake

We all know that wedding cakes are ridic expensive (the average one costs around £300, according to Hitched). Save the money and use it towards something you’ll enjoy far more – we’re thinking a nice honeymoon massage.

Megan agrees “If you and your partner aren’t all about the cake and have a swoon-y story about another tasty treat, it would be fun to be non-traditional and have a different dessert. Pick and mix, anyone?”

Read the small print

It’s not always the big expenses that blow the budget – often, the minor details will be what tip you over the edge.

“When you book a venue, photographer, makeup artist, or anything else for the big day, make sure you’re aware of any hidden costs,” Megan says. “Is your photographer’s booking fee affordable? Could you find a makeup artist who doesn’t charge an expensive deposit?

“A great way to keep track of these pricey add-ons is to create a checklist in your diary, or even in a bullet journal.”

Catch flights, not (stressy finance related) feelings

“Seriously, have you thought about eloping? It can prove so much cheaper than tying the knot in the UK,” Megan says.

And she’s right. The average cost of a wedding overseas, according to Weddings Abroad Guide, is £6,585.

“Plus, when it’s just the two of you, you needn’t worry about those annoying family members twice removed,” Megan says. “If you’re part of a laid-back couple, this could be the perfect option.”

Lastly, remember to accept help from others. It’s so easy to shoulder the whole burden of wedding planning – and understandable, since you want it just right – but chances are you have a bunch of family and friends that would love to be a part of making your day special. Let them; you’ll be able to save money by doing more at home, and hopefully you’ll look back with fond memories of the time spent together.

Police have advised couples facing marital problems not to involve their children. — Picture by Ahmad Zamzahuri

KOTA BARU, Jan 21 — Couples who face marital problems should not involve their children as this could have negative effects on them, said Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Hasanuddin Hassan.

He was commenting on two girls, aged 9 and 12, here who were reported missing yesterday.

“We will open an investigation paper under missing persons,” he told reporters after attending a gathering and dialogue session at the Kota Bharu District Police Headquarters here today.

“The incident occurred at about 4pm when their mother returned and found them missing from their home in Kampung Machang Limbat, Kubang Kerian,” he said.

He added that so far, police suspect the children have gone looking for their father in a neighbouring country.

Hassanudin said this was the second such incident to occur, with the first about two weeks ago, but the two children returned on the same day they were reported missing. — Bernama
