Love

We are gathered here today to celebrate a very special occasion – a Big Issue vendor wedding – in a truly memorable edition dedicated to love.

In a first for the magazine, Sydney vendors Kelly and Greg have invited us to share in their big day – an intimate backyard wedding organised in just 48 hours after doctors advised them to bring forward their marriage plans.

Plus, we bring you a series of love stories to make your heart sing and your eyes tingle: neighbourly love, love letters, love for family and love for an old dog.

Also in this edition:

Alyssa Milano talks Who’s the Boss?, mental health and using her celebrity to achieve good in Letter to My Younger Self.
