Any other women who have ‘different’ bodies to the norm, are beautiful and love how they look. We would prefer for them not to have appeared in the press before.

Person/Story Criteria: Aged 18-35, Female.

Person or Story Wanted: His affair made us stronger….

 More info: URGENTLY looking for a couple case study where the woman has forgiven her partner for cheating. We just need a short chat about how she forgave him and move on. Need a picture of them together, but we could pixellate his face if necessary and pay generous fee…

Person/Story Criteria: 20-45

Person or Story Wanted: Looking for a woman or man who’s marriage has been affected by their mother in law.

Where the story will appear: Daily Newspaper Story.

More info: as Ashley Cole blames his mother in law for marriage breakdown, we’re looking to talk to couples who have been through similar experiences. Maybe they lived with their mother in law and their marriage has improved since she moved out? Maybe the husband feels the Mother in law negatively affected their marriage. Whatever the mother in law story we’d been keen to hear it! Thanks.

Person or Story Wanted: A woman, aged under 36, who has HIV and who contracted it through a heterosexual relationship.

Person or Story Wanted:  Victims of copycat brides.

More info: Looking for comments/anecdotes from brides who have had their wedding ideas copied by another bride, or who copied someone else’s wedding – anonymity is fine!  The sorts of anonymous examples I’m after are anecdotes from brides who had to deal with things like another friend announcing she’s marrying the same week as you, or in the same venue with the same band and decor, or buying the same dress, or having the exact same readings, first dance and ring, or copying your invites etc – so not just friendly borrowing of a nice idea but getting a bit OTT with the copycat behaviour! Especially if they had similar guest lists or, even worse, the copycat ends up having her wedding first and then the bride feared looking like she copied her!
