The Year of the <strong>Wedding</strong> should be the name of <strong>2024</strong>. <strong>Wedding</strong>s showcased in<br />
our second issue of <strong>East</strong> <strong>Alabama</strong> <strong>Wedding</strong>s bring the wow factor. The couples<br />
featured took “it’s in the details” to new heights.<br />
Why do weddings invoke so much happiness? We witness two vibrant<br />
individuals come together to start a lifetime journey. It invokes hope and love.<br />
And we get a front row seat. How can you not smile or cry happy tears at love?<br />
Behind the scenes, brides and grooms, along with their families, plan the<br />
perfect day. Vision boards, visits to venues, menu tastings, dress fittings,<br />
contract negotiations, hair and make-up, learning name of that one must-haveflower,<br />
all lead to the final act of saying, “I do.” The team of participants, A.K.A.<br />
vendors, it takes to create that magical moment is paramount. <strong>East</strong> <strong>Alabama</strong><br />
<strong>Wedding</strong>s highlights area professionals that are a must in wedding prep and<br />
execution.<br />
Along with the right team, knowing what you want on your special day is key,<br />
yet may be overwhelming. Our brides have done the heavy lifting, and their<br />
efforts culminate with perfection to provide you with great inspiration.<br />
As you flip through the pages, you will find key trends for <strong>2024</strong> including the<br />
latest in bridal couture, engagement rings and how to impress guests at the<br />
reception. I am especially intrigued by the trend of having fur babies as part of<br />
the ceremony.<br />
Details throughout the wedding planning, rehearsal, ceremony and reception<br />
may be found in the following pages. Join me in celebrating our couples who<br />
have recently said yes!<br />
Play your best!<br />
