Savvy brides-to-be will be rushing to get this season’s 'wedding must-have' as Harvey Nichols Manchester launches the first ever pre-nup bridal package.
With pre-nups on the rise, Harvey Nichols has created a free consultation package for the modern woman who has everything and wants to keep it that way. It provides a one stop shop for most bridal needs including recommendations on everything from make-up and dress consultations to legal consultations with help from Dennison Greer Solicitors with expert advice about protecting your assets, whatever your financial standing may be.
British Family Lawyers have seen a tenfold increase in the number of couples signing pre-nuptial agreements and with the recent landmark ruling in the case of German Heiress Katrin Radmacher, the British courts are more likely to uphold the agreement. In an age where one in seven Britons considers marrying purely for money and the number of men making claims on their wives’ wealth in divorce has doubled, more women are encouraged to seek professional advice and draw up contracts to ensure their assets are still alive long after the romance is dead.
Iain Mackenzie General Manager of Harvey Nichols Manchester says: “We wanted to offer our female clients a great one stop shop for their bridal needs beyond the dress but offer something different too.
“This a fun and fashionable way to plan your nuptials and have some peace of mind before saying ‘I do’.”
Lisa Kemp, Head of Family Law at Dennison Greer Solicitors, comments: “Pre-nups don’t have to be an unromantic affair, if you’ve purchased a flat and have paid into a mortgage there is nothing wrong with wanting to protect that if its what you came into the marriage with. Having a properly drafted agreement can help avoid a messy divorce.
“We hope that the launch of the pre-nup package makes it easier for women to get important information about the process and make informed decisions before making a commitment.”
History has shown that a lack of a pre-nup can cost you. We only need to remind ourselves that Sir Paul McCartney did not have a pre-nup and was ordered to pay Heather Mills £25 million in their divorce – one of the largest settlements in British history. Whilst Stephen Spielberg split with his wife of four years and she walked away with £80 million – he jotted down his prenuptial terms on a cocktail napkin, which the judge deemed invalid and threw out.
