Sure, I’m looking forward to longer days, sunny conditions and barbecues with friends, but above all I’m excited about the triumphant return of weddings. And boy, have you all waited long enough! I can’t wait to see how your plans come to life and can see big days being even more celebratory than they previously were, if that’s even possible. We’ve all developed a deeper appreciation for the finer things in life over the past 18 months, love being chief among them, and to see it taking centre stage once more is something I’m thrilled about. So, as soon as Boris gives the green light, grab your loved ones, hug them as tight as possible and party like it’s 1999! And, when you’ve done that, don’t forget to head over to www.your-sussex.wedding/get- involved-real-wedding and tell us all about it, so we can spread the joy. If there’s one thing I do know, it’s that as giddy as you are at the prospect of finally going ahead with your well-deserved dream day, your suppliers will be every bit as cock-a-hoop to be getting back to what they love. They can’t hide their lights under a bushel for long, so as usual; this issue is about showcasing what they do best. I’ve rounded up my highlights for you across these two pages, so dive in to make sure you don’t miss a thing. Enjoy and keeeep planning! Kelly x elly Andrews, senior editor Welcome back!
