2020 has created some extraordinary tales. Following is the story of how the pandemic affected my wedding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

March 2020 was supposed to be the most important month of my life. It was the month where I\u2019d get hitched with the man I love. The man that makes me whole.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel popped the question in the last week of January. Today, it seems like a memory from another world. The bar was buzzing with people, there were no social distancing protocols in place. People weren\u2019t afraid to shake hands, hug and kiss one another.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That day, Daniel drove me to a local bar in what I assumed would be a casual Wednesday night date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was our favorite place in town that we regularly visited. This was also the bar where Daniel slipped me a napkin that said, \u201cI like you\u201d. We were friends who liked each other but never dared to express it. Daniel took the initiative in the only way he could.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Five years later, he once again handed me a napkin. Only this time, the text read, \u201cWill you marry me<\/a>?\u201d. It got awkward real quick. He jammed the ring in the wrong finger. Just as I was putting it right, our friend showed up to congratulate. I am sure someone spilled a drink too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
