We talked to scores of brides, grooms, consultants and company representatives as we were making this magazine. One theme echoed through each conversation. While weddings might be similar from ceremony to ceremony, there is no such thing as a cookie-cutter nuptial.
Couples work hard to make sure that their wedding celebration is as unique as their relationship.
Whether the planning starts three years or three months ahead of time, an incredible amount of forethought and compromise go into the planning of a wedding. It's amazingly similar to the planning of this magazine. When I say we, I mean the members of the senior magazine class at Drake University. Much like a bride and groom, we sat down with our budget and other resources, looked at what we wanted to do and decided what we could do. Every detail, from the new page size to the placement of the byline, was carefully considered.
