With the overall message of issue 67 being ' freedom', the desert felt like a natural starting point for the main editorial shoot. Our models were Sydney and Steven, a real couple who eloped in Vegas a few years ago and whose wedding we previously featured. Their familiarity with each other brought an ease and authenticity to the shoot that simply couldn’t have been manufactured. In fact, many of the accessories they wore were their own!Read more...

There’s nothing like a wedding to bring your core values sharply into focus. You start by thinking about dresses and flowers and end up asking yourself much deeper questions: Why does my father ‘giving me away’ not sit right with me? How do we know if our suppliers are actually supportive of our queer relationship? Does it make me a ‘bridezilla’ to be specific about what we want our day to look like? It can hit you like an unexpected steam train and can be a lot harder to navigate than finding the perfect outfit. But it’s also where Rock n Roll Bride magazine is really here to help! We will show you all the awesome alt dress ideas and unique florals while also hitting you with the answers to all your big, existential questions.Read more...

Mrs Greenfield?" I sat there in the doctors office nonchalantly flicking through a three year old version of OK! Magazine. There was silence in the waiting room as I internally judged the person who had missed their appointment. The NHS is already stretched without selfish people not showing up. "Mrs Greenfield?" I think I like how my new name sounds. I’ve loved him for eight years, he’s my family. There’s something soft and lovely about the idea of sharing a surname, of seeing it one day on a birth certificate next to our baby’s name. It felt like choosing our family name, not just borrowing his. A shared identity. "MRS GREENFIELD!"Read more...

There are several different ways to get married in the UK, and these vary depending on which country you live in. Couples who are religious may want a wedding led by a vicar, priest, rabbi, or other religious leader. In England and Wales, broadly, this can be legally recognised if it takes place in a building licensed for marriages. If you’re having a religious wedding, do check that your ceremony will fulfil the legal requirements.Read more...

An and Mario were married exactly twenty years to the date after they first met, on February 29th. As well as only having one date every four years they could make this happen, they had to plan around other real circumstances. After An developed post concussion syndrome following a serious accident, a full traditional schedule was completely off the table. Instead, they split the celebration in two days - the civil ceremony took place on the Thursday and the party on the Friday night.Read more...

When I was eight, I came down with the flu. Coincidentally, it was about the same time my Twilight DVD was delivered so, for two and a half weeks, I watched that movie obsessively – the deleted scenes, the commentary, every little detail. It was my first real introduction to the idea of love as an unwavering, never-ending commitment. And when I got engaged in August last year, Bella and Edward’s wedding became my inspiration. From the flowers to the music to the idea that love can be an intentional, loving choice between two people.Read more...

When my fiancé brought up the idea of having a full-blown three-day destination wedding abroad in Portugal, you’d think I would’ve been over the moon with excitement. Instead, it triggered some of my deepest fears. Everyone always says, “A wedding is one of the few times in your life everyone you love will be in one room.” My brain’s response to that was: “Everyone we love? Am I…loved?” With that, my palms started to sweat, my chest felt tight, and I wanted nothing more than to hide. Now, reflecting on the past year of wedding planning, I can see the rollercoaster of my concerns and how they evolved every few months. Here are a few of them and what helped me work through it all.Read more...

Planning a wedding can feel like taking on a second job. There are suppliers to contact, contracts to read, payments to make and approximately 700 opinions to deal with. When you are already balancing work deadlines, university assignments or a thesis, your free time can disappear fast. Both parts of your life need time, concentration and decision-making. Trying to manage everything without a plan usually means thinking about work during wedding appointments and answering supplier emails when you should be finishing a report. A few boundaries can make the whole thing feel less chaotic.Read more...
