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. They can include awkward misunderstandings, slapstick comedy, or love at first sight. In most cases, the characters feel either a mutual attraction, aversion or some combination of the two.

Will weddings ever be the same?
The number one question on the lips of many couples around the world is, what will it look like? I have no doubt that my fiancee and I will be able to get married this year, but what exactly that will look like is unclear. What I mean here is that restrictions will still exist and is it still a wedding if you cannot dance?

Hannah's Cottage
As I looked out from our kitchen window, I saw the rain had stopped, and the clouds had begun to make way for the sun. The tea kettle began to whistle just as I finished buttering my cinnamon muffin. Sitting next to me, waiting for any crumbs to fall, was my little girl Kerry, our chocolate lab. "Sorry, girl, no crumbs today. You know your mom has been on me about my messes in the kitchen." Her tail started wagging, and she gazed at me with those big brown eyes. "You are just like your mother. I cannot say no to her either, when she looks at me with her deep green eyes."
