Yes, it’s that magical time of the year once again! I’m not sure about you, but this year has passed quickly for me, and fortunately, it has been a wonderful one. I’m blessed to be a proud auntie to my second little nephew, Titus Eli, who arrived safely into the world in April this year - the best present ever! I’ve also been lucky enough to experience some memorable trips and experiences, including to Sardinia, Nashville (a bucket list holiday), and closer to home in Newquay. To celebrate this festive period, I’ve compiled a seasonal issue for you to enjoy. There’s everything from themed real weddings to dreamy local venues, perfect for winter weddings. Don’t miss the latest news, fashion, beauty, and honeymoon destinations, plus there’s a cake and sweet treats feature designed to inspire couples tying the knot at any time of the year. For those of you getting married soon, I wish you many congratulations. For those not taking the plunge until 2026, I’ll see you next issue. Happy Christmas!
