Chimney Formal Menswear celebrates five years of helping grooms find wedding attire
Situated in the beautiful town of Royston, Chimney Formal Menswear has bounced back from the impact of Covid-19 and is now celebrating its five-year anniversary. The company has endured a difficult time throughout the pandemic like most retailers, but the team is now looking forward while focusing on their next chapter of what has been a major success story since its launch in 2016. The shop was built beside the original 13.5 metre-high chimney that once provided the draught for the local ironworks' furnace and has been a labour of love for owner Sharon Cousans.

When Mark Lee from Mark Lee Photography set up this shoot at Cheshire's Park Manor, he wanted to seek out like minded suppliers to collaborate on creating stunning inclusive images; and what better showcase this gorgeous shoot than Pride Month! Mark says, "For months I've been coming across posts on Facebook on issues from the LGBTQ+ community over double standards within the wedding industry. Some finding that they were being charged more or that some suppliers just wouldn't work with a same sex couple. Then a supplier wanted to know how to create a logo for same sex supplier so not to offend. And another supplier unsure how to word his contract... this got me thinking. Why is this so difficult? Why does there need to be an issue regardless of who you are and who you want to marry? The law has changed so why are people still living in the dark ages? It's time to accept everyone."

Paws for thought – why having a ‘pet-nuptial’ agreement is the ultimate preparation
Couples who have adopted a pet during the pandemic can save themselves the unnecessary heartache of losing shared pets by arranging a 'pet-nuptial' agreement in case – obviously here at County Wedding Magazines HQ we truly hope it's not the case – of future separation with their partner. For custody of furry friends, there is currently no official legally binding measures in place for what happens to pets after a breakup. Legally a pet is seen as an asset, and as with any assets in a divorce, ownership will be decided by the court - however having a prearranged agreement in place, commonly known as a prenuptial agreement, can assist the court to make a decision.
