Madly in love: how Nicola Pagett's infatuation tipped over into obsession

Article Abstract:

Actress Nicola Pagett's life has been significantly affected by the obsession she developed with Alastair Campbell, press secretary to UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. She began to suffer from obsessive manic depression, and even believed that Campbell had instructed her to accuse her husband of having an incestuous relationship with their 15-year-old daughter. Experts do not fully understand what makes people shift from a harmless interest in another person to a full-scale obsession. However, they believe that life stressors and predisposition may play a role.

What every couple needs: love, compatibility, the fixer ...

Article Abstract:

The wedding business has become one of the most lucrative sectors of the UK economy, with the average couple spending more than 12,500 pounds sterling on their wedding. There are 16,000 wedding dress shops alone, and weddings also bring valuable business for hotels, caterers, photographers, stationers and travel agents. Couples are tending to delay getting married, and this means that they have more money to spend on their wedding. In many cases, they employ a professional to organize many elements of the wedding.
