Unprecedented.
Historic. Dangerous. Akin to wartime. There are so many words that have been used to describe this momentous year that we've just lived through. And yes, it's been incredibly tough.

As a harpist, I have lost count of the number of weddings I have performed at, but it's certainly over 150. While I'm not playing, I get quite nosy about what has been chosen for the day; what is personal to the couple and how they use the traditions of marriage to make the day special for them.
