For the majority of people, 2020 was not their favorite year. I don't need to remind you of the isolation and fear that swept the world, but for my little world in Lubbock, Texas, the highs outweighed the lows.

Rearranging the wedding trend with Darius Cordell
The fashion industry is continuously growing into a better, more adept, and realistic version of itself. Earth is becoming a place where fashion is not just what your wear, but it defines what you are? What are your choices? What do you want to express?

The Gift
On the second day of a three-day road trip, Mona and Grant drove through Guymon, Oklahoma, in search of a clean bathroom and fresh coffee. They were headed from Cedar Rapids to Los Angeles in the minivan Grant had converted into a camper over the holiday break, and, in which, they’d spent New Year’s Eve, watching the sunset at a county park and ringing in 2021 at six p.m. instead of midnight, knowing they’d never stay awake.

Getting Engaged during Covid-19
Elsie and I met one day in September of 2019. She was a teacher at the bible school I was attending. After some time, it became clear to a few of our friends that we might make a good couple. The reason: Both Elsie and I had a very strong desire to see the gospel reach the nations, and could not withhold ourselves from everyday acts of service and kindness to all those in our current community.

Hello, are you there?
My second wedding was an ever evolving affair. I'd only been semi-conscious for the first one (long story, maybe I'll tell you someday) so both I and my partner wanted to make this one more ours and less something my parents had tried to drain from my over-drugged brain while I wrestled with my sexuality (my poor first husband didn't last long).

How To Make Wedding Cakes
Cakes are a permanent part of wedding ceremonies. They bring a certain taste and class to wedding ceremonies. That is the reason you will find a cake to be a part of every ceremony. But if you are planning to have a wedding ceremony on budget, paying huge prices for the wedding cakes may seem outrageous. In this case, the best solution is to bake the cake yourself. That way, you will not only save the money but have the design of your choice too.

Bridal Anxiety:
It goes without saying that the preparation for a wedding is a rather stressful experience, considering that it is regarded as one of the biggest days of a person’s life. The extent of these stresses is often underestimated and worrying about everything from the guest lists to the wedding venue, to the make-up and so on can take its toll on your mental state.

Unexpected Happiness
I married my husband amid Covid-19. It was not planned whatsoever. We have known each other since we were in middle school and this pandemic reminded us that we are living on borrowed time. We talked about marriage very briefly because I was not sure that it was something, I wanted to do but I knew I wanted a future with him. Marriage had always been so weird to me simply because of how it started. The idea of being with someone forever was never the issue, till death do us part does have a nice ring to it.
