There are a lot of things that make me happy but there are three things that, recently, made me smile even more.

The first is how much couples are doing to keep their guests safe from coronavirus at their events. They are aware and they are conscientious, Thank you.

The second is that I am working with a couple that is super eco-friendly. All of their plates, cutlery and even glasses are compostable. What? Yes! I always feel bad when I throw away things that can’t be reused, repurposed or recycled. But in our defense, Tennessee is not known for its recycling capabilities. We do what we can.

Finally, when I see couples truly in love, it makes my heart want to burst. You can tell when they are “the one” for each other. You can see it at the first look. You can see it in the kiss after the officiant says, “You may kiss the bride.” You can see it in the joy in their faces and you can witness their strong connections. I did not have that in my first marriage but I do now. Don’t marry the one you can live with, marry the one you can’t live without. Thanks, Tony Metcalf. LOML
