In November, I became engaged to my boyfriend of nearly three years. The planning of jstyle WEDDINGS coincided with the planning of my own wedding, making the issue especially meaningful for me. Each gown we selected for inclusion in the magazine was a dress I was seeing through the eyes of a bride, every Jewish tradition was something I wanted to know more about, each “love story” echoed my excitement for my own big day this spring. I hope you will be as thrilled with the issue as I was putting it together. You’ll find ideas you may not have thought of for planning a wedding, from buying special bridal party gifts to writing the perfect thank-you note to serving tasty, healthy fare at the reception. But most important, you’ll find the magazine is filled with heartwarming local stories of reunions, romance, adventure, second chances and above all else, love. – Janet Dery
