The Edition is based on the theme of change, we spent months asking, do we have to do it the same way as we always? We are committed to bring fresh, bold and cutting-edge visions…We want the stories behind the story to inspire you. We made a conscious decision to personally connect with every person within these pages and all of them we respect and we feel extraordinarily proud to be part of such a heartfelt journey with an absolute kick-@@@ wedding professional’s team. This magazine is for you the people who challenge the status quo – the rebels with some serious attitude and cause… there is an immeasurable surge of artistic creativity around us and we must use it. So now it's over to you, get excited and start planning with all the content we had created; and we look forward to walking the journey with you…You’re a part of our team now!

LOVE AT FIRST FLIGHT
S
ome newlyweds prefer the traditional route. Others enjoy possibilities upon a road less traveled. However, our featured adventure seeking soulmates promised each other the world, took flight, and never looked back! “I looked at him and saw the rest of my life in front of my eyes.” Little did this beautiful bride and pilot’s wife know that after dancing in celebration with friends and family at the wedding reception of her dreams awaited the ultimate newlywed surprise! “My favorite part about flying is surrounding myself with ever-changing beauty. I fell in love with my wife not because I was lonely or lost, but because I realized she is home and she is ever-lasting beauty.”
Over intimate conversation and dinner for two, the couple popped champagne in his private airplane hanger- a space where they had spent countless nights and seasons mapping out the life of their dreams. Hand in hand and excited that the best is yet to come, they bowed their heads in prayer. With eyes shut, his lips graced her forehead and the rest made history! Abundant with love and spontaneity, the newlyweds raced each other to the jet and took off into a diamond sky to begin their journey of a lifetime as endless as the ocean and as timeless as the tides. There were no destination plans or a piece of luggage to be found because for them what is meant to be will always find its way. Love may not make the world go round, but true love is what makes the ride worthwhile. Written by Taylor Burk Miss Nevada Earth
