Couple: Sarah Barber & Danny Croft
The big day: 23rd December, 2010
Venue: Hotel du Vin, Winchester
Sarah says:
The best thing about married life is... waking up each day next to the person you love - it's such an amazing feeling. Our personalised vows are engraved on our wedding rings and they are a daily reminder of the happiness and laughter we bring to each other's lives.
For our first anniversary... we will be revisiting the venue where we got married - Hotel Du Vin in Winchester, and have lunch on the day as a family, with our son Sebastian Daniel Croft, who was born on 26th October, 2011.
Being in the final... is very exciting and we're very pleased to have made it so far. Every wedding is an unforgettable event, and to be able to share some of that happiness with others and relive the day through the competition is wonderful.

Couple: Jessica & Jason Lawrence
The big day: 19th December, 2010
Venue: Rhinefield House, Brockenhurst
Theme: Snowflakes
Colour scheme: Deep purple, gold and black
Jessica says:
The best thing about married life is... knowing that someone special will always be there to support you through good and bad times and looking forward to a future together.
For our first anniversary... we are going to Bath for a couple of nights to visit the Christmas markets and have some cocktails and mulled wine. And if it's snowing again, and we're feeling brave, we might even go to the thermal baths. We're also having a big New Year's Eve party with all our friends to celebrate our first year together.
Being in the final... is an unexpected bonus, as we didn't expect to get this far in the competition. It's a wonderful feeling to know our wedding is worthy of being in the final, and would like to thank everyone who made this possible.

Couple: Lauren Ross & Simon Barber
The big day: 29th May, 2011
Venue: Audleys Wood Hotel, Basingstoke
Colour scheme: Lemon yellow
Lauren says...
The best thing about married life is... falling pregnant on our honeymoon! We're overjoyed at how wonderful and special this year has been for us - this news has really been the icing on the cake.
For our first anniversary... we are hoping to find a babysitter for the night and go away and spend some quality time together. However, according to our friends who are already parents, sleep may be the order of the day.
Being in the final is... still a shock to us both. We've never considered ourselves lucky when it comes to competitions, but we certainly feel fortunate after everything that has happened this year.

Couple: Claire Treeby & Kris Parsons
The big day: 19th August, 2011
Venue: Highfield Park, Nr Hook
Theme: Princess cut diamond
Colour scheme: Purple and silver
Claire says...
The best thing about married life is... thinking about all the things we have to look forward to, spending our lives together and knowing we will always be there for each other.
For our first anniversary... we would like to have a barbecue (weather permitting) with our family and friends. We saved the top two tiers of our wedding cake - the top one for the naming of our first child and the second for our first anniversary. My mum made and decorated the cake, so she will decorate it for our anniversary as well.
Being in the final... fills us with excitement. Just to get to this stage is brilliant, but of course we'd love to win. It's nice to know all the hard work that went into planning the wedding didn't go unappreciated.
