How wedding insurance can help your big day go smoothly.

Christmas is the most popular time of year for marriage proposals. It is estimated 100,000 people will pop the question over the festive period which means - presuming the answers were yes! - that there will be many weddings being planned for 2025! And with Valentine's day coming up there may be more love in the air.

According to research carried out by www.hensolcastle.com four of the most popular five days to get engaged are over the Christmas and New Year period (the other of course being Valentines Day).

It may seem like the least romantic topic but wedding insurance should be one of the first things on the list once the wedding planning gets seriously underway. At MoneyMaxim you can compare wedding insurance policies to find the right fit for you.

Wedding insurance is important to reduce the likelihood of you being left out of pocket should something go awry with your wedding plans. Paying by credit card is not a certainty that you will be able to recover funds if you need to cancel the wedding. It may well cover you if the venue lets you down and there is a breach of contract but, should you need to rearrange the wedding for your own reasons, they are unlikely to be able to help (unfortunately no wedding insurance policy will cover cancelling a wedding due to a change of heart).This is where wedding insurance comes in. It can cover you should there be an accident - perhaps someone tips champagne over the bride's dress or the cake topples over - or if your suppler goes bankrupt.

Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky are not the only ones getting married this year and although theirs will probably have a bigger wedding budget than most, each and every couple hope their day will be the most special. Protect your dress, the rings, the flowers, cake and even the wedding presents by taking out a wedding insurance policy. It can make a big difference if you have some bumps in your plans.
