Love in the City
There’s something extra romantic about weddings set in the city.
In the middle of the hustle and bustle, we are invited to be still as we bear witness to a very special union by two souls. A promise to forever, a vow to take care of each, a pledge to grow old together and to love and respect one another.
For the newlyweds’ family and friends, this special occasion is a welcome interruption as we continue to go about our busy lives. Watching them get married serves as a reminder of how love should be and what it is really all about—that despite how the world keeps moving and changing, love remains to be constant.
And it can be found anywhere and everywhere, if you just learn to stay still. This is why weddings in the city are always special. It reminds us to “stop and smell the flowers,” and to appreciate the people who are with us in this journey. Flip through our pages and see for yourself how our fashion editorials such as the one shot by Doc Marlon Pecjo can bring out forgotten feel-good emotions of how love can be found even in the simplest locations.
Be inspired with our selection of real weddings where each couple shared their love story through its many ups and downs, especially during the earlier months of 2022 where Covid-19 still put many people at risk. Their love stories proved that love wins—all the time. — Jane Kingsu-Cheng, Editor-in-Chief
