First things first: Happy New Year! I love our first issue of the year as it’s the time we welcome most new readers, with the festive season being the most popular for romantic proposals, and celebrate with existing readers as they flip over the calendar to realise – “We’re getting married THIS YEAR!!” Welcome one and all; we’re delighted to be sharing this exciting chapter with you. Whichever camp you fall into, I hope you’ll find this issue useful and inspiring. For those of you starting out on this exciting journey we present our annual Planning SOS feature, where we tackle some common questions the newly engaged often have. What’s more, whether you’re seeking guidance from those wise couples who’ve been there, done that, or simply like being nosey (we don’t blame you), there’s plenty to love in our local real weddings this issue. I can’t wait to discover what 2026 has in store for the wonderful world of weddings.
