One of the difficult things about having done special sections for nearly 8 years now is that I sometimes struggle to come up with fresh content ideas. Especially when we do the section twice a year -- like Bridal.

The deadline is looming in a few weeks for our September Bridal Guide and I still haven't come up with a cool cover story.

It seems I've done it all: Heirloom dresses, wedding traditions and superstitions, disaster stories, destination weddings, second weddings, blended family weddings, weddings on the cheap, wedding receptions, wedding transportation, wedding entertainment ....

So, I'm reaching out to you. Do you have any great wedding story ideas? Have you been to a wedding where they've done something unusual? Have you noticed a trend we should highlight? Are you a recent bride -- or a current bride-to-be -- who has come up against something you need help with? Do you have any ideas for a cool cover story?

If so, email me at heather.cass@timesnews.com -- if I use your idea, I will give you credit in the section!

Save me -- please -- or we may end up doing something on how to carve your own centerpieces out of the abundance of zucchini in your summer garden.

You think I'm kidding?

BTW -- the story cannot be about a specific retail outlet or wedding service business -- as in "do a story about how XYZ Bridal Shop is locally owned and has been in business for 35 years" -- it has to be a general interest story about weddings or marriage.
