BEHIND THE SCENES
Here we are in November. This issue is our
annual Wedding issue, which normally comes
out in October, but thanks to Covid we’re a
month behind on pretty much everything.
This issue should definitely be a lead-in to
Christmas, which is now only weeks away!
There’s so much going on at the moment I
can’t even begin to comprehend that!
This issue is always one of our favourite
magazines to put together. We not only get to
chat to recently married brides and grooms, but
we also love the opportunity to showcase the
very best of what Mid Canterbury has to offer
to help create these very special days. This
year and last, have been challenging times for
couples wanting to tie the knot. For many, plans
