Below is a copy of an email I have received. 

Hi,

I am currently looking for an alternative wedding such as a lovely Gothic, Punk or Metal themed wedding to appear on Living’s hit show ‘Four Weddings’. Is it possible you can circulate this email to the any of your members who you will be getting married in December 2009, January or February 2010. It would be great for to talk to them about the show.

Living’s hit show ‘Four Weddings’ (the best average audience performance of an original series on Living, ever) is back for a second series and are looking for more brides-to-be and any civil partnerships to attend and score each other’s weddings. Each wedding will be scored on the venue, the food, the overall presentation and of course, the dress. The bride with the best day will win the luxury honeymoon of their dreams!

We are interested in all weddings whether they are civil partnerships, themed weddings, big or small weddings or have a high or low budget. The last series saw us feature a wedding in cave, at London Zoo and a medieval wedding.

Are you able to post anything on your site please? And spread the word to any Gothic brides to be you know of.

Those interested in applying should contact me at Zuelika.brown@itv.com or 0207 157 3747.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best Wishes,

Zuelika

STARGAZER SEMI PERMANENT HAIR DYES

Directions for application

Prepare the work surfaces with the aid of old towels. If the colour touches the skin wash immediately to stop staining.
Shampoo your hair (do not use conditioning shampoo or conditioner) and towel dry.
Cut the nib and apply the 'Stargazer' dye with the aid of the gloves provided, or a tint brush evenly covering the area required.
Leave for approximately 15-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
The hair is ready for styling.

Caution
This product contains ingredients that may cause skin irritation. It is advise, before use to do a preliminary test on the sensitive area.
If in contact with the eye, wash with water immediately. If irritation persists seek medical advice. This product cannot be used for dying eyebrow or eyelash, if used may cause blindness.
Keep out of the reach of children and pets.
Avoid spilling on clothing, furnishings, carpet and enamel surfaces as permanent staining may occur. To avoid staining to the hands please use the gloves provided.
This hair dye will not cover white or grey hair. It is recommended to do a strand test before using the colour.
Make sure the shampoo used before application is a non-conditioning one that also does not have silica or other softening agents in it. These will leave no room for the dye to penetrate into the hair fibre and thus will not allow the dye to work.

Depending on your hair colour then the colour last a certain amount of time. It is gradually washed out with every shampoo of the hair.
On Bleached hair the colour lasts 20 plus washes up to 30 washes.
On blonde or light coloured hair the colour last 15-20 washes.
On other hair colours the dye lasts for 5-15.
Individual hair types will lead to different times but the above figures are an approximate guide.

If you have bleached or decoloured hair then it will give the most vibrant colour effect. The general rule is that the colour being applied has to be darker than the colour of the hair before application. If the colour of the hair is darker than the dye colour then the colour is more similar to a tint than a colour in come cases.
