“Due to the global pandemic, we have made the painful decision to postpone our wedding until further notice.” As I typed out those words in an email to my guests two weeks before my wedding, I placed my head on the keyboard and let out a guttural howl. Like so many brides in 2020, I made the difficult decision to postpone my carefully curated Pinterest wedding to an unknown future. And I felt so selfish. How could I cry about canceled plans when so many were dying.

Married to Green
We planned on getting married 12/20... But that was before an entire pandemic broke out. On the nice cool breezy day of February 21, 2020, my boyfriend proposed to me! We decided we would get married on the day we became officially exclusive to one another-- which was December 11th, 2017-- and it would have worked out perfectly, being that December 11th, 2020 was a Friday. We would have celebrated the entire weekend. March something of 2020, the president announced that we have to limit gatherings and we instantly stopped planning. It felt like no point in carrying on.

Crafting In The Name of Love
I've never really been much for arts and crafts, if I'm being honest. I never had the ideas, and if I did, I could never bring them to life. I was too busy or got too frustrated to ever stick to anything long enough to bring it into existence. I had friends who had Cricut machines and made tons of things by hand that ended up looking beautiful and helped them bring in extra cash. I was always envious and wished I could figure out something for myself to profit off of. I tried painting, I tried making bracelets, I tried refurbishing old furniture, but none of it stuck.

How are wedding traditions changing?
When it comes to a traditional UK wedding, things like white dresses, having the bride’s father give her away, the best man’s speech, and bouquet-throwing all spring to mind. Throughout history, these wedding traditions have remained popular, and the majority of couples have followed the same structure. But how important is a traditional wedding? With society becoming increasingly diverse and an emphasis on individualism, why should we feel the need to conform to a traditional wedding?

TheFall
The glorious wedding day. Most guests come with expectations for a fun evening. Several of my guests came with ace bandages that I actually used. Let me set the scene: I hit the tile floor hard and fast because my legs flew up from under me. I looked up and around and hoped no one saw. Such a vision in white spewed out on the floor so of course everyone saw me. We had just entered the wedding venue for the reception and no more than ten minutes in the door there I was laid out for all to see. It pretty much set the bar low for course of the wedding and entire marriage. Ok, so now I have to ask: “who does this?” (I was sober). There are no words to explain how foolish I felt and embarrassing it was. It was truly was an accident but really? I checked my legs to be sure they were ok but I fell so far to the right I landed on my right wrist, you guessed it - my dominant hand and shattered it. I remember seeing my hand hang from my wrist away from my arm. It was an alarming sight to say the least. The guests with ace bandages were doctors so I had on-site immediate care. How could they have known? My hand was wrapped and I stayed throughout the reception. It was difficult for everyone there but I hated to leave and didn’t know what to do. I made it through the evening (which was a disaster for other reasons as well).

"Meet Cute" Merlot
What is a meet-cute? “A meet-cute is a common scene found in romantic films in which the love interests first meet. The typical approach to these scenes is comedic and/or romantic.
