The Big Day is The Boston Globe’s wedding column – one that explores how people get from first date to celebration.

Our readers are loving it, which isn’t a surprise. It’s nice to hear good news these days. It works like this: you submit your recent/upcoming wedding. We interview you. Then we tell your story – and the wonderful (sometimes complicated!) path to happiness.

We’ll highlight the good stuff – from tiny ceremonies to huge parties. We’ll honor family, florists, friends, special memories, the person who set you up, meaningful readings, the moments when you realized you wanted to stay together, and how you figured out that this could be forever.

Whatever’s special to you. It took a lot of work to get to here, right? Tell us everything.
