More accolades as Wedding Magazine debuts
No doubt that the mere fact that life after a wedding deserves attention just as important as the wedding itself has given rise to a new publication, Beyond Wedding magazine, which was launched recently in Lagos. The magazine is a bi-monthly from the stable of PR Impekable, which also publishes the Wedding Planner.
At the unveiling in Lagos, Mrs Dupe Adeniran, its editor-in-chief, said Beyond Wedding started out as a column in Wedding Planner with articles from her husband, Taiwo. “The feedback we got from readers encouraged us to dedicate more pages of the magazine to beyond wedding issues. Columns such as True Womanhood, Recipes, Relationships and Fruitful Womb later emerged from Staff Writers and Contributors.
“We believe that life after wedding deserves attention, and as such we continued with our life-after-wedding articles which have today evolved to become a magazine of its own,” she said.
Adeniran believes that the magazine will not only enlighten couples but will also instruct them on how to live a happy and fulfilling marital life. “Our research shows that newly-wedded couples go through immense challenges to cope with their new status and we saw this as our responsibility to instruct and enlighten them on living successfully and happily in a marriage.”
She explains further “Beyond Wedding highlights how to make a marriage work a day, a week, a month, a year and many more years after the wedding day. It’s about your first meal, first fight, first pregnancy, first baby, etc. Our objective is to settle the newly weds in their new homes and help nurture old marriages too.”
The maiden edition of the magazine features sections on managing the home front, parenting, relationships, style, true womanhood, birth stories, recipes, and lots more, “We intend to add more diverse columns on how to make a marriage work in subsequent editions, which will be supported by TV programmes, seminars and lots of other packages,” Adeniran promised. Meanwhile, since its debut, the magazine has received several accolades and commendations from within and outside our shores.
