2020 was a strange year for many but the events industry was hit extremely hard.
Weddings have been postponed months and even years in advance.
But couples proved that weddings are not all about the fancy parties and extravagant gifts but rather love thriving in even the hardest of times.
In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever. Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a subscription or buying a paper. We stand together. Nancy Fielder, editor.
