I never expected the happiest time of my life to happen during such a horrific time in the world with the spread of the coronavirus. I dreamed about this moment ever since I was a preteen and it never once crossed my mind I would see a global pandemic, much less get engaged to the best man during it. I did though. 

Once I got engaged, I was eager to start planning. I wanted to visit venues and go to bridal shops to browse but I currently can’t. My fiancé Byron and I are navigating this engagement the best way we know how, which is to focus on the positives. Luckily, we’re brainstorming online and can do small yet significant tasks such as creating wedding registries and working on the guest list, which is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be.
