Is anyone else still buzzing from the Olympics and Paralympics? I don’t know about you, but my social life was completely on hold while it was on! I can’t believe we have to wait another four years before it rolls around again. As someone whose idea of exercise is getting off the sofa and grabbing a snack, I always admire everyone who takes part. When the time came to write to you for this issue, the Olympic moto got me thinking: faster, higher, stronger – together. It’s that final word that always causes my heart to soar. It’s that one word that truly speaks to what the Olympics is all about. It’s bringing the world together in friendship and camaraderie, and does the same within the teams of each individual competing country. Speaking of togetherness, have you noticed anything different about us? That’s right, Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding and Your Glos & Wilts Wedding have merged to bring you even more of our fabulous corner of the South West! So, my lovely Bristol and Somerset readers, please join me in offering the couples and suppliers of Glos and Wilts a huge and hearty welcome! When planning this, the first issue of Your Somerset, Glos & Wilts Wedding, the notion of togetherness came to me again. It defines a marriage, doesn’t it? You are, after all, in it together and that’s why you say “I do” and make those vows. You form a forever partnership to navigate life together. I believe that’s the way forward for all of us. In the words of the popular wedding bible reading from 1 Corinthians 13:4 – “Love is patient, love is kind.” Kelly Andrews, editor We’re all in this together Kelly x ISSN 1755-4756 Your Somerset, Glos & Wilts Wedding is solely owned, published and designed by Ellis Media and Events Ltd.

Shall be popping in next time I’m in town! 40 HISTORY COMES TO LIFE The Roman Baths in Bath are already tremendously atmospheric, but shot in black and white, this image seems to bring their history to life. I adore that reflection in the still waters. ADVERTISING Account Manager Jack Wooding | 01376 538 496 jack.wooding@county.wedding 29 LOVE IN BLACK AND WHITE I don’t very often use black and white images, but no doubt, they do have a lot to offer. There’s a heightened romance and atmosphere about them don’t you think? So, I thought I’d share some of my favourites submitted for this issue. https://redmaplephotography.com 81 WIN!
