BY REQUEST... WE ARE EXTENDING OUR DEADLINE

We have heard from quite a few of you who have said you would love to submit your wedding photos for our forthcoming 11th annual Wedding Issue, but you are out of town visiting and not near your computer or your albums, and even "It's the holiday season! With so much else to do, why are you throwing this tight deadline at us too?"

Well... your Christmas wishes have come true. Who says Santa doesn't really listen?

By request from our readers, we are extending our deadline for wedding submissions.

You now have until 9 a.m. January 2, 2026 to send us your wedding pictures and even "your wedding story" (keep your story around 300 words, please) and email all of that to

[email protected].

Make sure your email includes
The name of the couple
The date of the wedding.
The location of the wedding.
The name of the photographer(s) who should be credited
And you can even include other items if you'd like -- such as wedding planner, wedding party, tuxedo and dress shop, D.J., catering, and officiant.

Please send a minimum of four and a maximum of seven photos.

And we will take care of the rest.

Thanks so much!

Now.... be sure to get those wedding photos in... since Santa listened and granted an extension, you better stay on his "Nice" list!

In our Holiday 2025 Keepsake Edition...

Grandma’s Christmas Miracle
The Giving and Receiving of Rings

" Christmas was always a special time of the year for one of the women I admired most in my life – a woman named Anna Katherine Lowery – my mother’s mother.
My Grandma Lowery loved the holiday season. Every year, she made peanut butter cookies, painstakingly fussed over craft items and needlepoint and cross stitch decorations she wanted to give as gifts, presided over the White Elephant table at the Ellerslie Methodist church bazaar and selected ornaments for a tree that stood in what we called the “back room” of the home she and my grandfather had shared since their wedding in 1936.

My grandmother loved and treasured the season so much that for many years after her passing she continued to give me a gift. I now that sounds crazy but maybe it was because I was thinking about her or maybe it’s because I had made it my own tradition to look for something but after Grandma Lowery died I found that almost every Christmas season I would find something else that had been hers that was now meant for me – a book where the bookmarker was placed on a poem I was meant to read. One year I found her dentures but that’s a different story for a different issue.

This annual “giving of gifts” continued for a long time until I found the ultimate gift. I found the thing my grandmother wanted me to find. And from that moment, I knew that for all those years, she was setting me up from beyond – inspiring me and encouraging me to look for a gift that I knew would be from her. "

In the December 2025 edition of Allegany Magazine, Managing Editor Shane Riggs shares a very personal holiday memory of the year an old chair held a gift his late grandmother had "hidden" for nearly 20 years.
