Living Through a Pandemic
We were meant to travel after the wedding; however, the pandemic changed our plans. Instead, we are spending a lot of time together at home—playing board games, watching shows, and cooking.

For us, it wasn’t a deliberate step towards planing our future; it all fell into place naturally.
