Dear Brides and Grooms-to-be,

Times have been very challenging, haven’t they? You must’ve had to postpone or cancel your wedding multiple times by now and I understand that this is very frustrating and inconvenient. As much as it pains to postpone or cancel the most important day of your life that you’ve been planning for years or months, you must be grateful that you still have each other through it all. A wedding is the union of love and two families – so use these times to strengthen the bonds of love and foster relationships. And if you are to look at the bright side of things – you can use this time to re-plan your wedding! Yes, go through each and every element of your wedding to see if you really need them, what can be changed, what can be done better and incorporate the details that will add more value and grandeur to your Big Day.

In these uncertain times, I whole-heartedly sympathize with you all who had to postpone or cancel your wedding plans altogether. I can understand how heartbreaking the decision must’ve been and frustrating it is to not know when you can see a possibilty either. The novel coronavirus pandemic has so far killed over 180,000 people and infected over 2.5 million people globally.  It shattered the Sri Lankan wedding industry completely, leaving all suppliers and vendors helpless. With the government and health offcials encouraging social distancing and restricting gatherings, weddings scheduled for the coming months have all become crises to manage, rather than reasons to celebrate.

It is with greatest joy I write this issue’s Editor’s Note My journey as the founder of Brides Of Sri Lanka and leading up to the 50th issue as editor, has definitely been an exhilarating one!
