I recently saw a Thread where the poster pointed out that luxury wedding workshop shoots often exclude marginalised couples or those with tattoos, piercings, or other alternative styles. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how accurate that is!

Hello and welcome to the year 2024, where anyone with even a fractionally-open mind will throw their arms up and rejoice in the knowledge that any two consenting adults can tie the knot, regardless of their race, gender or religious beliefs. In this rainbow-obsessed issue, we feel it would be remiss of us not to take a moment to raise our LGBTQIA+ Pride flags high above our heads, and shriek at the very top of our lungs, that here at Rock n Roll Bride magazine… LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOOOOVE.Read more...
