ISSN 1756-6428 EVENTS & KRQJPUBLISHING cours vers 6 www.chrisblackledgephotography.co.uk From Ys bo Ves t's finally here, my final issue as Miss Barker! In just a few short weeks, I will officially be Mrs Cullen, and | cannot wait. My fiancé, Dave, and | have been engaged for nearly 18 months, and with all of the lockdowns and uncertainty it’s been quite a rollercoaster of emotions, but now that the day is nearly here, it’s all starting to feel real. It seems like just yesterday that | was telling our loved ones that we were engaged and here we are about to tie the knot. My number one piece of advice is to enjoy the process and make it about what you want. We found that some of our nearest and dearest were quite vocal about what they wanted and how the day should be, which can feel quite overwhelming at times, but try to remember it’s meant to be about you and your partner. Pick things that you want and that will make you both happy and forget about everyone else. In this issue, we have a flowers feature looking at the latest trends, a weather-focused photography feature and we showcase gorgeous venues in Pembrokeshire and Swansea. If that’s not enough, we also look at showstopping dresses and wow-factor honeymoon destinations.
