Tradition means something different to every coupl Tradition means something different to every couple. For some, it’s a comfort. For others, it can feel like a constraint.⁠
⁠
The Traditions Issue is all about that push and pull. The ancient rituals. The quiet rebellions. The cultural moments that tie us to family, faith and identity.⁠
⁠
Some couples follow every step. Some rewrite the script. Some build something entirely new. However you choose to do it, we’re here to celebrate it with care and intention.⁠

It’s the International Day of Friendship, so we’re celebrating it the best way we know how: with real wedding moments that show what friendship really looks like.

The glasses clinking. The veils fluffed. The smudges wiped away. The emotion of watching your best friend walk down the aisle. The pre-wedding hype crew who show up with love, laughter, and lash glue.

This is friendship in all its wedding-day magic.

Want to see more of a moment? Drop the couple’s name in the comments and we’ll send you their wedding story.
