H我又是朋友,
我們還在這裡, 你們. 現在是 2022 年 12 月中旬…不知何故. 沒有人知道這怎麼可能. 我真的覺得我寫的 去年12月的婚禮策劃公開線索 上個星期. 我會引用自己的話，再說一遍……“我們能不能跳上跳下，感激我們確實已經度過了這一切？” 68 幾個月的 2020 2021.“ 因為, 好, 我們做到了. 去年我寫那篇文章時, 我們正處於疫苗研發的邊緣, 我們能感覺到. 新冠病毒肆虐, 我們知道假期會很奇怪, 但我們知道疫苗即將到來. 他們做到了.
一年後……好吧……新冠病毒仍然猖獗. 有一個 新變體 我們都像鷹一樣注視著. 我們大多數人都因 (或者很快就會) 為一個 助推器射擊. And life, at least for me, feels like a new type of fever dream that is a ridiculous combination of forced ‘normalcy’, utter burnout, and a sense of busyness that I just did not miss in those early days of pandemic life. Is it weird to say that I miss the season when I was baking bread each week and doing front porch drop-offs to my friends and family?
I feel endlessly lucky that my wife (still so fun to say) and I squeezed our wedding in last summer during a little bubble of time between the first tidal wave of vaccines, and the Delta variant. 事實上, going back to last year’s post I wrote at this time was really eye-opening…
上個月，當我與某人交談並聽到「當指導方針發生變化或有疫苗時回電給我們」時，我發現自己至少有五次流淚。我對我: ’嗯……什麼? 我不能是你唯一告訴過的人. 我不能緩緩約會嗎? 不……好吧。, 每日死亡率和感染率最高的國家之一, 到目前為止......我知道我不是唯一一個發現自己只是坐在悲傷和恐懼中的人. 籌辦婚禮很難, 令人興奮的歡樂的一天, 當世界在我門外繼續崩潰時.
我來這裡是為了告訴你們一切 (和過去的我) 有一件事......你會到達另一邊. 一種方式或另一種方式. Our wedding was a tiny group squeezed into a lucky moment when the world felt somewhat safe. Maybe yours will be a courthouse visit, a backyard party, or a fully-vaxxed, fully-tested, full-sized wedding of your dreams. (More on our most recent thoughts about vaxxing and testing for weddings here.) Perhaps you’ve just gotten engaged, or you’ve already postponed a few too many times. For many of these… I’m sorry, and I see you. But you will come out the other side, and you will be married to the person you love the most. Stay the course, be patient with you and each other, and hold onto hope and faith. You’ve got this.
As for this pandemic… it’s gotta end someday right? RIGHT?
In the meantime… how are you holding up? Like… how are you really doing? 這是你發洩的空間, 叫喊, 笑, 哭, 分享...告訴我們您的勝利, 那些感覺困難的事情, 問問題, 尋求建議...這是您的開放主題. 開始吧. 見你在 2022 (哇!).
