Get to know Melissa Barker, editor of Your North West Wedding, with these top 10 questions.
I love how diverse the magazine is, it covers Manchester all the way up to Cumbria so I often get sent beautiful real weddings and venues.
A North West bride is very stylish and contemporary, they keep up with the latest trends and always have stunning weddings.
My favourite feature to write is real weddings. I love seeing all of the beautiful décor and it's great being able to share a couple's special day.
I don't like being the centre of attention so I would have an intimate wedding, with just close family and friends. My main goal would be to have a relaxed and fun day that we can remember for years to come.
I adore Ed Sheeran, I've seen him in concert multiple times and I would love to have him as a guest at my wedding or even better have him sing for us!
I like to think I'm creative, confident, organised, fun and outgoing.
I'm a big cinema fan, I normally go at least once a week. I love sci-fi/fantasy films especially Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and the Marvel universe. The last film I saw at the cinema was The Mummy.
I couldn't live without my car, books and as much as I hate to say it my phone.
I love food so it's really difficult to choose just one. I would say one of my firm favourites has always been pizza.
I'm happiest when I'm my friends and family relaxing and having fun.
