"We're also extremely excited to introduce our very own bridal collection: Westminster by Abbey Bridal," shares Jessica. "We had our fair share of bad luck last year after I was diagnosed with breast cancer, aged 28. My second daughter was just four days old when I got the news. When I mentioned to Luke that I would love to open my own bridal boutique one day, we thought, why not just do it now! So here we are. We're extremely excited to open our doors to welcome all of our lovely new brides and make all of their wedding dress dreams come true.

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

With peak wedding season approaching, experts are warning couples not to rely on AI to write one of the most personal parts of their big day – their vows. A survey by jewellers Queensmith has revealed that more than half (55%) of UK brides and grooms are now using AI tools to help write their wedding vows and speeches, raising questions about authenticity, originality and even potential legal grey areas. The findings come amid a growing debate around AI-written vows after a registrar in the eastern Netherlands saw a marriage called into question when AI was used to help write the ceremony script. In the case, the District Court of Overijssel ruled that "no marriage has been established" after it emerged the registrar had relied on ChatGPT to draft parts of the ceremony. The case has sparked wider concerns that AI-generated wording could unintentionally mirror existing vows or scripts found online, raising questions about originality and authenticity.
