PEIL _WINTER17

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Maybe it’s the beautiful décor, extravagant centrepieces, the food, or maybe it's just all the love in the air. There's just something about weddings. It doesn't matter who's getting married, I know I'll be crying like a baby before the ceremony is finished. Seeing two people, surrounded by their closest friends and loved ones, dedicating a day to their love; it's just such a special thing. All weddings, big or small, extravagant or simple, are so incredible because it's a celebration of their commitment to each other. During the winter holidays, Christmas, Valentine's Day, New Year's, many people pop the question to their partners. New engagements bring a flurry of excitement, and a multitude of questions. Where will the wedding be? Who will cater it? How about the dress? Suit? What about the wedding party? And it's for this reason that a large section of our winter issue focuses on all things bridal. We are thrilled to offer a bride guide for our readers that's completely local. We showcase Island boutiques, venues, caterers, jewelers, photographers, florists, and pretty much everything else you need to plan your perfect day on the island. This is why it was such an honour to be a part of this issue. Because, let's be honest, PEI is the perfect place to get married. The rolling hills, the friendly people, the beaches, the small towns, the quaint chapels and rustic country venues... there's something here everyone can enjoy and connect to.

We had a lot of fun putting this together, and we truly hope you have just as much fun reading it.

"When it’s over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world in my arms."
