“ LOVE RECOGNISES NO BARRIERS . IT JUMPS HURDLES , LEAPS FENCES AND PENETRATES WALLS TO ARRIVE AT ITS DESTINATION FULL OF HOPE .” – MAYA ANGELOU
Ah , February . A month defined by love . And though that ’ s a theme you ’ ll find threaded through this month ’ s magazine , don ’ t worry , we ’ re not going to go all sappy on you .

Once upon a time , weddings used to be quite formulaic , running relatively smoothly from ceremony to reception and sit-down dinner before finishing with a bit of a boogie , but now the intention of many is to make their special day as personal to them as possible and often a little bit different .
