One thing I’ll take from this whole experience is just how proud I am to be part of the wedding industry.

We’re here to offer some light relief and advice wherever you’re at on your journey to W-day, even if you’ve been forced backwards a few paces. Nothing warms the heart like a love story, and we have four of our readers’ to share starting on page 26. What’s more, if you’re planning a day to remember turn to page 64 for our annual cake feature, with plenty of ideas on how to personalise your own big-day bake showstopper. We’ve also been chatting to the county’s wedding photographers who’ve rounded up their favourite images to give you a feel for the different styles and options available to you. So, if you haven’t found your perfect match yet, you’ll want to check out pages 59-63.
